Survey finds more than a third of owners Skype with their cat

More than a third of cat owners use FaceTime and Skype to check in on their feline friends, according to a new survey.

The poll of 1,000 cat owners, conducted by card retailer Hallmark, unveiled a number of other bizarre findings.

Men were found to be more likely to spend time on Skype and FaceTime with their cat than women (23 per cent), while more than a fifth of people said they would take their cat on holiday.

Nearly 37 per cent of men had also tried to teach their cat tricks, with many believing their feline was talented enough to enter Britain's Got Talent.

A further 15 per cent of owners confessed to serving their cat a specially-made meal every day.

Perhaps the oddest of the findings was the 12 per cent of men who claimed they chose to own a cat because they couldn't have a lion or a tiger and a cat is the next best thing.

Rachel Goodman, Hallmark, said: "We conducted the report as we wanted as much insight as possible into just how much we love our feline friends; it's clear that cats are a pet passion in the UK."
