    A cozy show about enthusiasm for animals of all kinds, real and unreal. If you greet the dog before the person walking them, or wander around the party looking for the host's cat, this podcast is for you.

  • The cats pajamas!

    It’s so satisfying to hear other people who are like me and just love all animals, who feel as much as I do, with deep empathy and understanding. The show is filled with stories and poems and science and friendship and laughter and tears sometimes but tears that are from your heart filled up with love!

    They always have interesting questions or points of view that I just never would have thought of. They give their guest a lot of room to speak on the things that they are an expert in (or just things they’re excited about).

    The episodes without guests are amazing too, along wi... more
