Well, there’s definitely a little more consistency for cats here than dogs. Weirdly though, we closely matched national trends when it came to everything except male cat names. We have no idea why this is the case, and we hope that some UBC researcher can solve the mystery for us.

Finally, there was an explosion of pet names related to the hit show Schitt’s Creek this year. Twyla and Alexis were the most popular names for dogs, while David and Moira were most popular for cats. Yeah, that definitely tracks with the characters in the show.
