Number 1 Pet in the Nation

I have been looking online to see which pet is the most owned and is the favorite in the United States.Well when I googled it I found out that cats are the #1 most owned pet in the USA!!! (Yeah for Cats!!!) Turns out that 81,721,000 people own cats in the United States. Actually that isn't as surprising as it sounds because cats are most likely the easiest maintainable fur-covered pet and many people now-a-days don't have the time to keep a pet. PS - More people own fish instead of dogs.
