The makers of pet photo-sharing app Klooff released this fascinating infographic that reveals a number of interesting global trends in the pet world and social media.
Unsurprisingly for anyone who's ever spent a few minutes on the internet, cat photos were found to be shared more than twice as much as dog photos. This finding is sure to have dog owners up in arms and trying to close the gap on their feline-fond rivals.
There are also some interesting factoids about pet trends around the world. Being from India, it doesn't surprise me to hear that the German Shepherd is the most popular dog in India. But I was interested to learn that the Alaskan Husky is the most popular dog in Spain and the English Bulldog the most popular in Argentina.
Klooff's infographic also reveals that hedgehog is the top trending exotic pet of 2014, and that Japanese users are 24% more likely to post small dog breeds than American users, among other interesting factoids.
