Pet cats outnumber dogs for first time
Posted on 2026-04-20 14:54:15
The pet cat population has surpassed pet dogs for the first time, according
to a new government survey.

The Ministry of Agriculture says the country now has an estimated
one-million-740-thousand cats, up nearly 33 percent from two years ago...

...while the pet dog population edged down slightly to
one-million-460-thousand.

The Ministry says the shift reflects growing numbers of single-person
households in cities, where smaller living spaces make cats a more practical
choice.

More people are also keeping multiple cats, which has driven the overall
count higher.

On the regulatory side, pet cat registration becomes mandatory starting
January 1st of next year, but the Ministry says many owners are still unaware
of the requirement.
