| 5/26/26 | ![]() Cat Anxiety, Aggression & Medication with Dr. Sagi Denenberg | Send us Fan Mail Cat aggression, overgrooming, and litter box “problems” are easy to label and surprisingly hard to solve, especially when we treat the behavior as the diagnosis. We sit down with veterinary psychiatrist Dr. Sagi Dennenberg to get underneath the label and into what’s actually driving the cat’s behaviors: fear, anxiety, frustration, learned patterns, pain, and even underdiagnosed skin disease. We talk about why behavior and physical health are inseparable in cats, including ho... | 36m 17s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | ![]() Cat Body Language & Stress Signals with Dr. Serenella d'Ingeo | Send us Fan Mail Your cat is “telling you” what they feel. The problem is that most of us are listening with the wrong cues. I sit down with Professor Serenella d'Ingeo, an animal physiology and behavior researcher, to unpack what the science of feline communication actually says and why humans routinely miss stress signals that are right in front of us. We talk about why cats can seem aloof or unreadable compared with dogs, including their different domestication history and the fact that c... | 38m 48s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | ![]() How to Help Your Cat Live Longer with Dr. Kevin Toman | Send us Fan Mail Your cat isn’t “fine” just because they’re quiet! Cats are built to hide pain, and that’s exactly why so many chronic issues like kidney disease, dental disease, arthritis, hypertension, and even heart disease get missed until they explode into a crisis. I sit down with veterinarian Dr. Kevin Toman, who has 40 years in practice and now focuses on pet longevity science, to talk about how to help cats not only live longer but live better. We dig into the subtle at-home signals... | 52m 57s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | ![]() How to Find a Lost Cat with Cat Detective Kim Freeman | Send us Fan Mail Your cat is missing and everyone has advice, but a lot of it can make things worse. I sit down with Kimberly Freeman, a professional lost cat finder who has reunited cats with their families across nearly every state and more than 24 countries, to lay out what actually works when a missing cat disappears into stress mode. We dig into lost cat behavior: why cats often hide in silence, why they may not come when called, and why a friendly cat can still hiss or bite when you fi... | 53m 48s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | ![]() Inside the Science of Cat Happiness with Dr. Zazie Todd | Send us Fan Mail “My cat is being difficult” is one of the most common lines I hear as a clinical feline behaviorist, and it’s usually pointing to something deeper than “bad behavior.” I’m joined by Dr. Zazie Todd, psychologist, animal behavior expert, psychologist and author of Purr: The Science of Making Your Cat Happy, to unpack what’s really going on when cats swat, bite, hide, scratch the wrong things, or seem moody and unpredictable. We get practical fast: how to set up your home for f... | 54m 41s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | ![]() All Cats Are Cute: Music, Cats, and the Art of Being Present with CatBeats | Send us Fan Mail Kindness is having a weird moment right now, and I mean that as a compliment. I sit down with CatBeats, a cat-loving electronic musician (and my longtime friend), to talk about how cats can pull us out of our heads and back into the present, whether that shows up as music, meditation, or just learning to live by consent and patience. We dig into how CatBeats began: two cats, a noisy news cycle, and a need for healing music. From there, we get real about grief and what cat gr... | 59m 03s | ||||||
| 3/5/26 | ![]() Feline Hyperesthesia Causes, Symptoms & Treatment with Dr. Stefania Uccheddu | Send us Fan Mail A cat’s skin ripples, the tail whips, and suddenly the whole house feels on edge. We sit down with Dr. Stefania Uccheddu, a veterinary behaviorist and diplomate of the European College of Animal Welfare and Behavioral Medicine, to decode feline hyperesthesia - a condition that blurs the boundaries between neurology, dermatology, and behavior. We share what caregivers actually see - rolling skin, flank licking, tail chasing, self-directed aggression - and why these even... | 47m 30s | ||||||
| 2/20/26 | ![]() Sterling “TrapKing” Davis on Diversity, Masculinity, and Breaking Stereotypes in Animal Rescue | Send us Fan Mail What happens when a rising hip-hop artist swaps tour buses for cat traps? Sterling “Trap King” Davis joins us to break down humane TNR with uncommon clarity and even rarer heart. We dig into how trap, neuter, return actually works, why the R is essential for cat safety, and how colony maintenance - shelters, feeding stations, heated water, and quiet routines - turns chaos into calm. If you’ve ever wondered how to start, what gear to use, or how to keep neighbors supportive, t... | 53m 51s | ||||||
| 2/5/26 | ![]() Peeing Outside the Litter Box? It Might Be FLUTD, Not a Behavior Problem | Send us Fan Mail A cat peeing outside the box isn’t a grudge - it’s often pain. We bring back Dr. Gina Rendon, Medical Director of Williamsburg Vets, to decode FLUTD and idiopathic feline cystitis and show how stress biology, environment, and hydration collide to shape behavior. If you’ve wrestled with “inappropriate urination,” this conversation reframes the problem with compassion and clear next steps. We break down how stress hormones can strip the bladder’s protective layer, why male cat... | 48m 09s | ||||||
| 1/21/26 | ![]() The Science Of Feline Hellos With Dr. Kaan Kerman | Send us Fan Mail Ever wondered why your cat saves their biggest “hello” for you at the door—and why some people get louder greetings than others? We sit down with Dr. Kaan Kerman to unpack a new study showing that cats vocalize more during greetings when their caregiver is male. The result surprised the team and opens a fresh window into human – cat communication, where meows, trills, and chirps act less like food requests and more like social glue. We walk through how citizen science made t... | 50m 08s | ||||||

| 1/8/26 | ![]() How Stress and Inflammation Shape the Aging Feline Brain with Dr. Federica Pirrone | Send us Fan Mail Senior cats rarely complain, but their brains may be asking for help. We sit down with ethologist Dr. Federica Pirrone from the University of Milan to unpack new research that ties subtle stress behaviors and low-grade inflammation to measurable changes in feline cognition. Using simple, at-home tests — a spatial memory task and an “unsolvable” problem that tracks gaze alternation — her team found that many older cats display greater social flexibility, a kind of earned wisdo... | 39m 00s | ||||||
| 12/24/25 | ![]() How Pet Owners Power Cat Science with Darwin's Ark | Send us Fan Mail Ever wonder what your cat’s DNA can tell us about fetching, affection, and health?

| 11/21/25 | ![]() Gut Feelings: How Microbes Shape Cat Behavior with Dr. Tom Gilbert | Send us Fan Mail What if the path from feral to friendly begins in the gut? We sit down with evolutionary biologist Dr. Tom Gilbert to explore how cat microbiomes act like tiny chemical factories, converting food into signals that can shape fear, calm, vigilance, and even training success. Drawing on a global shelter study across Denmark, Malaysia, Cabo Verde, Brazil, Spain, and Aruba, Tom explains why geography and diet change which microbes take root—yet similar biochemical functions keep s... | 59m 06s | ||||||
| 11/4/25 | ![]() Wobbly Cats, Big Hearts: Cerebellar Hypoplasia with Dr Gina Rendon | Send us Fan Mail A wobbly step can still lead to a full, joyful life.
