1. **State the problem:** We want to find the probability that a randomly selected person is a young adult given that they own a cat.
2. **Recall the formula for conditional probability:**
$$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$$
where $A$ is the event "young adult" and $B$ is the event "owns a cat".
3. **Identify values from the table:**
- Number of young adults who own a cat: 7
- Total number of people who own a cat: 20
4. **Calculate the conditional probability:**
$$P(\text{Young Adult} | \text{Cat}) = \frac{7}{20}$$
5. **Convert to percentage and round:**
$$\frac{7}{20} = 0.35 = 35\%$$
**Final answer:**
$$P(\text{Young Adult} | \text{Cat}) = 35\%$$
