The database was created by our research group to record some variables on cat ownership in the dairy farms of Tizayuca, Hidalgo, Mexico, in which we collected variables such as cat ownership status (domestic or stray), age (1= 0 to 5 months, 2= 6 to 12 months 3= older than 12 months), sex (M male, F female) and, for domestic cats, the type of food consumed, where 1 = raw meat, 2 = leftovers and 3 = commercial food, as well as the diagnostic result by ELISA, where 0 was negative and 1 was positive.
