Ownership might not be the best word ...

Perhaps how many households are inhabited by cats?

Or just cats per capita?

Cats per capita would be a very different map in the east, like Greece and Turkey. They have a lot of street cats that are taken care of by the neighborhood.

Yeah there's no cats in Turkish households because they're all chilling in the streets of Istanbul

Yeah, Turkiye was def a surprise (bcs I don't know anything besides two cities) - it also made me think that some people that have regularly or even regular cats in or around their house might not consider themselves as cat "owners" or owned by cats or a cat household. So that "free to leave" cats arent considered in this statistics.

Being a Turkish cat and sticking to one household is like being a New Yorker and sticking to one pizzeria.

Not entirely uncommon, but still a stupid fucking decision only a moron would make.
