Households in the Philadelphia metropolitan area have a higher percentage of cat ownership than any of the country’s 15 largest metro areas: 568,000, or 23%, according to 2021 U.S. Census figures. Seattle comes in second at 22%. The statistics were first reported by Axios. In truth, dogs live in a larger chunk of households in the area —788,000, or 32% — but that ranks eighth in the nation.
While cat and dog people aren’t always in accord, they think remarkably alike when naming their darlings. Four of the five top Philadelphia area names for male dogs coincide with four of the five top male cat names, according to a nationwide survey released Tuesday by Rover, a pet care company: Charlie, Max, Leo, and Milo. Similarly, four of the top five local female cat and dog names are Luna, Bella, Lucy, and Lily. In terms of U.S. trending names in 2022, it’s “Pfizer” for dogs, “Covid” and “Dr. Fauci” for cats.
