When I was a kid, our beloved black Lab, Rocky, lived in a smelly and dusty dwelling called a doghouse. He came indoors only on extremely cold nights and was never very comfortable in the house. I remember cats as being free ranging, perhaps settling into the garage or barn. But nowadays they, too, more commonly live indoors.
Add to this the menagerie of other pets available to households: birds, hamsters, snakes, mice, rabbits, ferrets, potbelly pigs and more. It should be no surprise, then, that these inhabitants add to the complexity of pollutants in a home.
