The lowest-numbered will have the most wild birds.
That sounds logical, but if you look at the map, there are countries with low ownership like Greece, Italy and Turkey, where there are loads of street cats everywhere. There are many cats there, just not so many owners. There can be less birds in countries with street cats compared to countries where cats are kept mainly indoors.
I don’t know, but for Germany that seems way too high. Maybe I just don’t see all the indoor cats in the cities (where more than 75% of the people live).
I need to see their definition of cat ownership. I’m not (much of) an idiot, but my cats are smarter than me so I’d consider them the owners. They lay around all day and get treats whenever they want, after all. Only work they have to do is get snuggles when I want and eat bugs, which is something they seem to enjoy. I mean, if I could figure out how to get that kind of arrangement wouldn’t you?
“owning”
Greece and Turkey heavily skewed because nobody owns the community cats
