  • Life-Changing Cat Facts

    This is Radiolab for cat lovers. I thought I knew everything about cats. How wrong I was! 6 Degrees of Cats has taught me so much useful information both for cat care and cat culture that I apply all the time—at least weekly, now that I listened to the episode about Vikings and Norse mythology and learned about Freya’s Day. Ailurophiles, rejoice! And the host and her meownagers are charming.
