The study found that cats visited a veterinarian on average every 146 days, and dogs every 111 days.

This follows from the data provided in the publication on the official website of Banfield Pet Hospital.

What is the difference between cats and dogs

The most important difference: dogs are pack animals, and cats are not.

This means that cats have much less hierarchy than dogs and other pack predators.

Cats are solitary predators and are accustomed to relying mainly on themselves.

Just one fundamental difference separates canines from the cat family - the way they obtain food.

A cat is a lurking predator, a dog is a pursuing predator.

The cat hunts from an ambush, where the main qualities are the surprise of an attack and the accuracy of a jump.

Cats do not require much space; they can be kept even in a small apartment.

Dogs need more space; Cats rid the house of uninvited guests in the form of rats or mice, which often annoy the owners of private houses.
