Cats now ‘top dog’ in our homes

There’s an old saying that tells us a dog is man’s best friend. But new statistics indicate that this just ain’t so anymore.

Somehow, they snuck up and took over as the most popular pet in America. Only fish outnumber them (there are an estimated 170 million pet fish in the United States), but that’s only because a lot of fish can fit in one small aquarium. So it seems that cats have it when it comes to being “top dog” in our homes.
