Life’s good if you’re a cat living in Burnaby.

The city is home to the most pampered cats in Canada, according to Amazon Canada.

The accolade is part of Amazon Canada’s annual list of the top cities in Canada with the most pampered pets. Overall, Burnaby ranked fifth behind London, Ont., Calgary and Edmonton, Alta. Vancouver came in first with the most pampered pets in the country, according to a press release from Amazon.

“Not only did Burnaby make its return to the top 20 this year after falling out last year, but residents ranked the highest in purchases for cat products. From beds to grooming to litter, they were all about the cattitude this year,” noted the release.

The rankings are compiled by comparing the number of items purchased for pets - on a per capita scale - from August 2016 to August 2017 on Amazon.ca. Only cities with more than 100,000 residents were included, and sales data was collected from products for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals.

As a province B.C. made quite a dent in the list with four cities making it into the top 20 (Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey and Richmond), but it was Ontario that came out on top with nine cities included.
