Dog Owning States vs. Cat Owning StatesDog Owning States vs. Cat Owning States
There are cat people; there are dog people. Well, guess what? States divide along those same furry lines. The majority of Americans love their pets — 68 percent of U.S. households have one. So do you live in a dog state or a cat state?
There is a correlation to politics here as well.
That speaks volumes, doesn't it?
It seems from the map that USA is divided between the North and the South. Is Trump getting some good support in the North?
The political map that I found looks like this though.
In the northern center left, Trump has really strong support.
Is it new or traditionally republicans have been stronger there?
That area has been Republican my whole life.
GA voting Trump this year
Well, Georgians will be voting for Trump. Who's to say who Georgia votes for?
So you want me to repost in ~politics_and_law? I think we need to clarify with @siggy47 and @Undisciplined how this is political.
I think you posted in the right territory. I think @grayruby is making the point that the cat/dog ownership states correspond surprisingly with dem/rep, blue/red states. It's kind of funny.
This makes sense. Thanks!! @grayruby always outwits me. I was thinking something else.
Might have been my lack of wit that tripped you up.
No, it was my mistake not to think strongly about blue and red being the two colours of politics in USA. I started to think about Russia and Ukraine.
Correct. It's not precise but certainly seems the heavy red states prefer dogs and the heavy blue states prefer cats.
childless cat ladies
Someone had to say it.
colors shud be flipped for emphasis
Based on my 2/1 dog cat ratio, looks like I should be living in Virginia.
Maine a cat state?
It's dark maroon there so it seems heavily crowded with cats.
