cat owners

People with pets

Cat owners are people who keep cats as pets.

The term implies a certain devotion—cat owners are often depicted as tolerant of their pets' aloof independence in ways dog owners wouldn't accept.

Cat owners know that furniture will get scratched.

The phrase sometimes appears in health contexts, since cat ownership correlates with specific allergen exposures and, some studies suggest, certain personality traits.
