When most people think of Philadelphia, they think of cheese steaks and the Liberty Bell. However, if you think of cats, you may be surprised to find that households in the Philadelphia metropolitan area have a higher percentage of cat ownership among the country’s 15 largest metro areas: 568,000, or 23%. Seattle comes in second at 22%.
