More than a quarter of women would rather spend Valentine’s Day with their cat than their partner due to their unconditional love and cuddles, according to a survey by pet food brand IAMS.
The poll also revealed that the lack of arguments was the deciding factor for 38% of British cat owners, and nearly a third even said that they loved their cat more than their partner.
The survey also looked at the love for our canine companions where just over a third of dog owners picked their pup over their other half and 58% even claimed they preferred their pet’s company.
Kellie Ceccarelli, IAMS veterinary manager, said: “The bond between pet and owner should be cherished and the unconditional love we receive from our pets should be reciprocated.
“We can show our animal companions how much we love them with lots of affection, regular walks and through premium nutrition, which provides them with the nutrients they need to support the key seven signs of vitality for many happy, healthy years together.”
