+# It's the cats, stupid
+Inspired by @giulio_mattioli's [recent paper on the car dependence of dog ownership](https://twitter.com/giulio_mattioli/status/1466361022747455492) we thought we'd take a look at [cats](https://twitter.com/giulio_mattioli/status/1466710752606179331) and residential energy demand. Why? Well people like to keep their cats warm but, more importantly, they also cut big holes in doors and/or windows to let the cats in and out. Hardly a thermally sealed envelope!
+
+# What's the data?
+
+For now we're using:
+
+ * postcode sector level estimates of cat ownership in the UK. Does such a thing exist? [YEAH](https://t.co/ZEwaB5YEHI)!
+ * LSOA level data on gas and electricity 'consumption' at LSOA/SOA level aggregated to postcode sectors
+
+```{r loadData}
+postcodes_dt <- data.table::fread("~/Dropbox/data/UK_postcodes/PCD_OA_LSOA_MSOA_LAD_AUG20_UK_LU.csv.gz")
+postcodes_dt[, pcd_sector := tstrsplit(pcds, " ", keep = c(1))]
+lsoa_DT <- postcodes_dt[, .(nPostcodes = .N), keyby = .(pcd_sector, lsoa11cd, ladnm, ladnmw)]
+
+gas_dt <- data.table::fread("~/Dropbox/data/beis/subnationalGas/lsoaDom/LSOA_GAS_2019.csv.gz")
+gas_dt[, lsoa11cd := `Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) Code`]
+gas_dt[, mean_gas_kWh := `Mean consumption (kWh per meter)`]
+gas_dt[, total_gas_kWh := `Consumption (kWh)`]
+gas_dt[, nGasMeters := `Number of consuming meters`]
+
+elec_dt <- data.table::fread("~/Dropbox/data/beis/subnationalElec/lsoaDom/LSOA_ELEC_2019.csv.gz")
+elec_dt[, lsoa11cd := `Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) Code`]
+elec_dt[, mean_elec_kWh := `Mean domestic electricity consumption 
+(kWh per meter)`]
+elec_dt[, total_elec_kWh := `Total domestic electricity consumption (kWh)`]
+elec_dt[, nElecMeters := `Total number of domestic electricity meters`]

+
+We could also use @SERL_UK's [smart meter gas/elec data](https://twitter.com/dataknut/status/1466712963222540289?s=20), dwelling characteristics and pet ownership (but no species detail :-) 
+
+# What do we find?
+
+Well, in some places there seem to be a lot of estimated cats...
+
+```{r maxCats}
+pc_district[, mean_Cats := EstimatedCatPopulation/nElecMeters]
+head(pc_district[, .(PostcodeDistrict, EstimatedCatPopulation, mean_Cats, nPostcodes, nElecMeters)][order(-mean_Cats)])
+```
+LL23 is on the south east corner of the [Snowdonia National Park...](https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Bala+LL23/@52.8953768,-3.775299,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4865404ae1208f67:0x65a437b997c0dfb2!8m2!3d52.8825403!4d-3.6497989) while EH25 is on the outskirts of [Edinburgh](https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/EH25/@55.8518992,-3.2076308,13z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4887bf6548dd78d7:0xd6f980c5a3b93592!8m2!3d55.8560564!4d-3.1733124).
+
+Is there a correlation between estimated total cats and the number of dwellings (electricity meters)?
