5 Categories of English cat owners

Post by SwordfishMining »

A team of scientists from the University of Exeter has surveyed 56 cat owners, some from rural parts of the UK (mostly in south-west England) and some from urban areas (Bristol and Manchester), and found they ranged from ‘conscientious caretakers’ concerned about cats’ impact on wildlife and who feel some responsibility to ‘freedom defenders’ who opposed restrictions on cat behavior altogether; ‘concerned protectors’ focused on cat safety, ‘tolerant guardians’ disliked their cats hunting but tended to accept it, and ‘laissez-faire landlords’ were largely unaware of any issues around cats roaming and hunting.
