The 2009 event directs Canada's thought leaders to consider the largest opportunity we have to bring change to our communities for companion animals.
How did we come to have cats in our society?
What are the prospects for cats in the modern urban community?
What has prevented cats from achieving the same status and services as dogs in our communities?
What does the science of cats tell us?
What makes for a feline friendly community?
What new urban animal strategies could we bring to our communities for the benefit of cats and the families where they live?
The 2008 Urban Animal Survey showed there are more than 8.5 million cats living in Canada with an average life expectancy of 5.7 years. The 2009 Urban Animal Survey will add definition and granularity to our understanding of cats in our communities.
