    Maybe just my US bias but it certainly feels like there should be >1% pet attributed biomass. If humans are 30+% then that’s only 1 pet per 10 people assuming the average pet(s) weigh 1/3rd the weight of a human. Feel free to correct my arbitrary numbers though.

      I’m just inventing numbers on the spot, but I’d guess the average human at about 60 kg. There are more adults than children and the obesity rates are higher than ever. The average cat is about 4 kg, I looked that up. That’s one cat for every 2 humans to get a full percent.
