  • Gay cat mom?

    Really great show, so glad I found this. Could you please do an episode on sexy time in cats, specifically queer cats? My two neutered boys like… get it on a lot. And it doesn’t seem to be a dominance thing. They literally seem to enjoy this and other bonding experiences and they’re always together. Happy that they are happy, just curious as I have never seen this before.

    Also I’d love to hear all about Cat Nights (Aug 17), I can’t seem to find much info on it.

  • Behavior sign?

    Dear Molly

    We have a two year old cat named Pepper who has a rather unusual habit. She drinks water by dipping her paw into her metal water bowl. Is the a behavior sign?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Listener Questions - Nutrition, Feeding, Omega 6 to 3 ratios and more!
Q: How should I balance omega-6 and omega-3 intake when feeding chicken or other proteins, and what supplements are safest?
Balance matters: chicken can have a higher omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, but it is not inherently inflammatory if balanced with omega-3s. Fresh fish oil capsules are a safer, more stable way to provide omega-3s than powdered forms; avoid relying solely on dry diets for essential fatty acids and consider supplementing with fish oil capsules or fresh sources.
Listener Questions - Nutrition, Feeding, Omega 6 to 3 ratios and more!
Q: What are practical feeding options for bonded cats or households with busy schedules, especially regarding dry vs wet food and weight management?
Prioritize a schedule with multiple smaller meals, use food timers if home not available, and lean toward wet food when possible to support hydration and weight management. If dry food must be used, target lower-calorie options and ensure adequate protein while supplementing omega-3s; consult a KCow-style formula to guide portions and monitor body score.
Listener Questions - Nutrition, Feeding, Omega 6 to 3 ratios and more!
Q: What should I do about a cat who leaves a half-full bowl or tests me by chasing me to the kitchen to eat more?
The behavior is highly learnable and often driven by a cat wanting control and feeding routines; setting predictable meal times, using proper portioning, and considering external factors like noise or stress can help reduce testing behaviors. It's about balancing routine, environment, and ensuring the cat feels in control without using food as a leash for attention.
The Hidden Risk in Your Medicine Cabinet: GLP-1 Drugs and Pet Safety
Q: What should a cat owner do immediately if they suspect exposure?
If exposure is suspected, do not induce vomiting unless advised by a veterinarian; contact a vet right away or reach out to emergency centers, bring the packaging to help the clinician assess exposure and treatment options.
The Hidden Risk in Your Medicine Cabinet: GLP-1 Drugs and Pet Safety
Q: Why are these medications particularly toxic to pets, even in small doses?
Pets metabolize medications differently than humans, especially cats whose gastrointestinal systems are highly sensitive. GLP-1 drugs increase insulin release, slow gastric emptying, and can affect multiple organs, making even small exposures potentially dangerous.
