One of the many things you and your Ukrainian sweetheart may have in common is a love of cats or dogs. When we surveyed HRB members, a huge majority (84%) of the ladies said that they’d like a cat or dog. And, Ukraine is one of the top ten countries for cat-owners, with over 7 million cats as pets. (The US is number one, with over 76 million pet cats in residence.)
