The 1998 LIOC cat census totals 1404 CATS! This is an increase of 14% over the number reportedlast year. We believe the increase is more a reflection of improved reporting than an increase in the number of cats held by LIOC members. These totals include cats that have been reported by their owners on membership renewal forms, and do not include cats whose owners have not filled out the "How Many Cats Do You Have?" form.

Thank you for your participation! We could be especially accurate if you would include your cats sub-species on your renewal form, i.e., Bengal Tiger or Siberian Tiger, rather than listing "Tiger" and Canadian Lynx or Siberian Lynx, etc., rather than listing "Lynx."
