These general trends reflect our social media findings, that dogs appear to be gradually becoming more popular than cats in terms of followers and post volumes. Perhaps this is down to the fact that dogs are more social than cats, and often have much more ‘human-like’ behavioural tendencies that cause us to be more drawn to them than we are to the much more socially independent cats.







Or perhaps the recent shift is due to the explosion in popularity of certain dog breeds, with pugs, dachshunds and french bulldogs all becoming ‘trendy’ across social media in the last five years. Photos and videos of breeds such as these practically guarantee likes and follows in abundance these days, so perhaps more people are choosing dogs over cats for a chance at social media fame.







Whatever the reasons behind it, it’s now a dog eat dog cat world we’re living in, according to the latest internet pet popularity stats. All that is left to do now is to say a big congratulations to the canines. Felines, perhaps your internet presence will one day be restored to its former glory. Until then, commiserations
