Meow Metrics adds 7 paying cities in three months and now covers 2.06 million inhabitants
This report covers activity between 3 August and 3 November 2026 and compares it with the previous three months. It includes cities, associations and individual accounts, and excludes test municipalities.

| Paying cities | 30 | 49 | 56 |
| Population covered (paying cities) | 0.66 M | 1.31 M | 2.06 M |

| Colonies | 866 | 1,512 | 1,712 |
| Actions and notices, cumulative | 7,489 | 19,933 | 33,253 |
More people are recording, and more consistently
205 people created actions or notices this quarter, up from 178 in the previous one. Active paying cities went from 32 to 33.
New cats and colonies are down because the previous quarter includes historical data loads from several cities. The census now grows through genuine new entries.

Daily feeding is now recorded through the feeding schedule, which creates the actions for each shift. Leaving it aside, the most frequent action is veterinary attention, with 384 records.
New-cat notices are how teams keep the census up to date: every new cat is logged in its colony.

The most active cities are so through daily use, not size
They include municipalities of a few thousand inhabitants and cities of over 180,000. What they share is that recording is part of the team’s daily work.
