Keeping pets is a hobby around the world, and it dates back for centuries. Many historical photos, paintings, journal entries, and more show people of all social classes owning dogs and cats, birds and reptiles, and more. In fact, keeping squirrels as pets was fashionable in the 1700s, and some American presidents have owned alligators or peacocks as pets. Today, though, squirrels and peacocks are not standard pets; rather, dogs and cats dominate, and many Americans also own songbirds, fish, and snakes, along with small mammals such as rabbits and hamsters. The APPA’s latest market research has stated that 68% of all American households own at least one pet, with a total of 90 million dogs and 94 million cats.
