Today’s fun episode gives me the chance to chat with Dr. Kathryn Primm of Pet Life Radio’s Nine Lives with Dr. Kat, about cats, what they are up to and why we humans care. It turns out, cats are very complex and interesting and could even be capable of more than we think. Listen in while we chat about cats and how they create curiosity in us, learn our ways and influence us. Why do cats lurk in the shadows? Why do they like the dark? Are they plotting together? We have a little fun exploring theories and learning quirky cat facts!

April 19 is National Cat Lady Day. The reputation of a cat lady has come a long way since medieval Europe when a woman’s love for cats was a cause for suspicion and even scorn.

If you own a cat, you know that there isn't a day that goes by that you don't celebrate your animal companion! So, embrace your kitties and give your cat some catnip! Michelle Fern talks about things you can do and buy to celebrate the cats in your life on this special day!
