This statistic shows the results of a survey conducted in the United States in 2017 on pets. Some 51 percent of the respondents stated that they prefer dogs.The Survey Data Table for the Statista survey pets in the U.S. 2017 contains the complete tables for the survey including various column headings.

Among the wide variety of animals kept as pets, cats and dogs are the most common. In Spain, dogs seem to be the most popular pet, with 27 percent of Spanish households owing at least one canine in 2023. The share of households that owned a cat experienced an ongoing decrease over the recent years, falling to 11 percent in 2019 down from a 21 percent in 2010. This figure picked up again in 2022 to reach 17 percent.

Dogs: Spain’s favorite domestic animal

The popularity of dogs in Spain cannot be denied – the number of hounds has only increased in the last years, reaching figures of approximately 9.3 million in 2023. The number of stray and street dogs recused on the Spanish streets saw a drop over time, falling from 108,300 dogs in 2013 down to 104,700. This figure, however, increased dramatically in 2019.

The situation of pet cats in Spain

Spanish homes had around 5.8 million pet cats in 2023, which is about half the number of that of dogs the same year. The number of rescued stray or street felines was also significantly lower compared to dogs, until figures rocketed in 2019. The fate of rescued street and stray pets normally has a happy ending, with nearly half of them adopted by a new family and 18 percent returned to their original homes that year.

Materials and methodsVirusesThe following influenza viral strains were used in this study: H3N2 AIV (A/duck/Guangdong/W12/2011) (Accession Number: JX175250.1); H3N8 AIV (A/Gallinula/Guangzhou/A1/2017) (Accession Number: ON287054.1); H3N2 SIV (A/Swine/Guangdong/FS4/2015) (GISAID isolate-ID: EPI_ISL_249845); H3N2 CIV (A/canine/Guangdong/1/2006) (Accession Number: GU433351.1). The viral titers were evaluated by EID50/ml assay. Virus stocks were propagated in 9- to 12-day-old embryonated specific pathogen-free (SPF) chicken eggs and titrated using the EID50 assay.Animals and groupingSixteen 9- to 11-week-old beagles and sixteen 9- to 12-week-old domestic shorthair cats, all seronegative for influenza A viruses, were used in this study. Animals were randomly divided into five groups for both beagles and shorthair cats separately: three experimental groups and two control groups. Each experimental group consisted of four animals, and each control group consisted of two animals. All animals were anesthetized with propofol (1-2.5 mg/kg) and intranasally inoculated with 10⁶ EID50 of the corresponding virus in 1.0 mL PBS. Control groups were inoculated with 1.0 mL pathogen-free SPF chicken embryo allantoic liquid.Clinical signs and seroconversionClinical signs and rectal temperature were monitored daily for 14 days post-inoculation (dpi). Nasal swabs were collected daily from 1 to 14 dpi and titrated by EID50 assay in SPF chicken eggs. Blood samples were collected at 0, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21 dpi for serological antibodies assessment, treated with receptor-destroying enzyme (RDE), and subjected to hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay.Viral replication and pathological examinationAt 4 dpi, one animal from each group was euthanized with an intravenous injection of pentobarbital sodium (150-200 mg/kg). Lung, trachea, nasal turbinate, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, intestine, stomach, and brain tissues were collected. In consideration of animal welfare, euthanasia was performed on only one animal per group in this study, and three tissue samples were collected from each type of tissue. Tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, processed for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). All tissues were weighed and homogenized in 1 mL of PBS per gram, then centrifuged to obtain the supernatant, which was titrated using the EID50 assay to assess viral replication.Ethics statementAll procedures in animal experiments met the requirements of animal welfare and were approved by the Experimental Animal Welfare Ethics Committee of South China Agricultural University (protocol code: 2024c016). All experimental animals were monitored by university-licensed veterinarians. All animal experiments were performed in a level 2 animal biosafety laboratory (A-BSL level 2).

This dataset contains written responses about Finnish people's experiences with pets in childhood and in the present. Most of the memories concern cats and dogs, but stories about other pets are included as well. The respondents wrote about the role of the pet in the family and interaction with the pet, for instance. They also wrote about having to give up the pet or put it down as well as emotions relating to these situations. Many respondents reminisced pets in childhood homes and how their attitudes towards pets had changed over decades. The dataset comprises 72 responses. Some respondents also attached pictures of their pets. The data collection was organised by the Academy of Finland's research project "Animal Agency in Human Society: Finnish Perspectives, 1890 - 2040", Human-Animal Studies network at the University of Eastern Finland, author Reetta Niemelä, and Finnish Literature Society.

Pets have numerous, effective methods to communicate with their human hosts. Perhaps most conspicuous of these are distress vocalisations: in cats, the 'meow' and in dogs, the 'whine' or 'whimper'. We compared a sample of young adults who owned cats and or dogs ("pet owners" n=264) and who did not (n=297) on their ratings of the valence of animal distress vocalisations, taken from a standardised database of sounds. We also examined these participants' self-reported symptoms of anxiety and depression, and their scores on a measure of interpersonal relationship functioning. Pet owners rated the animal distress vocalisations as sadder than adults who did not own a pet. Cat owners specifically gave the most negative ratings of cat meows compared to other participants, but were no different in their ratings of other sounds. Dog sounds were rated more negatively overall, in fact as negatively as human baby cries. Pet-owning adults (cat only, dog only, both) were not significantly different from adults with no pets on symptoms of depression, anxiety or on self-reported interpersonal relationship functioning. We suggest that pet ownership is associated with greater sensitivity to negative emotion in cat and dog distress vocalisations.

Animal FacesHQ (AFHQ) is a dataset of animal faces consisting of 15,000 high-quality images at 512 × 512 resolution. The dataset includes three domains of cat, dog, and wildlife, each providing 5000 images. By having multiple (three) domains and diverse images of various breeds (≥ eight) per each domain, AFHQ sets a more challenging image-to-image translation problem. All images are vertically and horizontally aligned to have the eyes at the center. The low-quality images were discarded by human effort.

Background

Ctenocephalides felis, the cat flea, is the most common ectoparasite of cats and dogs worldwide. As a cause of flea allergy dermatitis and a vector for two genera of zoonotic pathogens (Bartonella and Rickettsia spp.), the effect of the C. felis microbiome on pathogen transmission and vector survival is of substantial medical importance to both human and veterinary medicine. The aim of this study was to assay the pathogenic and commensal eubacterial microbial communities of individual C. felis from multiple geographic locations and analyze these findings by location, qPCR pathogen prevalence, and flea genetic diversity.

Methods

16S Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was utilized to sequence the microbiome of fleas collected from free-roaming cats, and the cox1 gene was used for flea phylogenetic analysis. NGS data were analyzed for 168 individual fleas from seven locations within the US and UK. Given inconsistency in the genera historically reported to constitute the C. felis microbiome, we utilized the decontam prevalence method followed by literature review to separate contaminants from true microbiome members.

Results

NGS identified a single dominant and cosmopolitan amplicon sequence variant (ASV) from Rickettsia and Wolbachia while identifying one dominant Bartonella clarridgeiae and one dominant Bartonella henselae/Bartonella koehlerae ASV. Multiple less common ASVs from these genera were detected within restricted geographical ranges. Co-detection of two or more genera (Bartonella, Rickettsia, and/or Wolbachia) or multiple ASVs from a single genus in a single flea was common. Achromobacter, Peptoniphilus, and Rhodococcus were identified as additional candidate members of the C. felis microbiome on the basis of decontam analysis and literature review. Ctenocephalides felis phylogenetic diversity as assessed by the cox1 gene fell within currently characterized clades while identifying seven novel haplotypes. NGS sensitivity and specificity for Bartonella and Rickettsia spp. DNA detection was compared to targeted qPCR.

Conclusions

Our findings confirm the widespread coinfection of fleas with multiple bacterial genera and strains, proposing three additional microbiome members. The presence of minor Bartonella, Rickettsia, and Wolbachia ASVs was found to vary by location and flea haplotype. These findings have important implications for flea-borne pathogen transmission and control.
