I misread the title and came in thinking it was about cats. I think we have a high proportion of those as well.

Solved it. Cats cause cars.

Ironic because cars cause less cats

Me too! Was wondering when the cats would show up

Same, was very surprised. Also there are almost zero to no cats in New Zealand, they are extremely protective of their native bird species.

Sorry to burst your bubble but New Zealand has one of the highest per capita rates of cat ownership in the world.

Also, only 6% of New Zealanders keep their cats inside and 30% of them are opposed to keeping cats inside.
