    I recently just discovered this podcast and it’s everything I could ask for! I adore cats and learning about cats and just listening to others who love them as much as I do.

    I’m sad to see there hasn’t been a new episode in quite a while. I surely hope you start them up again. It was a wonderful educational opportunity for so many and overall just wonderful for cat lovers.

  • Love Hiss &Tell

    5 Stars - this podcast has been so needed. I am learning so much from you. I do have a question, my cat wants to play all the time. However, when it is play time, she just wants to watch me put

    on a dos and pony show and she only interacts for the first minute or two. Any suggestions?! Oh and she is 10 and she is the sweetest kitty ever.

Sterling “TrapKing” Davis on Diversity, Masculinity, and Breaking Stereotypes in Animal Rescue
Q: What does a typical day look like for you? Are you trapping? Are you educating? What are you up to on a typical day?
Every day is a new challenge. I start with emails, trap at night, and focus on educating people about TNR and animal welfare while maintaining my indoor and outdoor cats.
Sterling “TrapKing” Davis on Diversity, Masculinity, and Breaking Stereotypes in Animal Rescue
Q: Can you explain what TNR is, why it's important, and what you mean by humane TNR?
TNR stands for Trap Neuter Return, a method to control cat overpopulation and disease. It's crucial for preventing overpopulation and involves catching feral cats, neutering them, and returning them to their colonies.
Peeing Outside the Litter Box? It Might Be FLUTD, Not a Behavior Problem

Peeing Outside the Litter Box? It Might Be FLUTD, Not a Behavior Problem
Q: At what point should house soiling always be considered a medical emergency rather than a training or behavior issue?

The Science Of Feline Hellos With Dr. Kaan Kerman
Q: Do you have any thoughts about why cats are vocalizing more towards male caregivers?
Currently, there is no definitive reasoning, but it's suggested that cats might be adapting their behavior based on different interaction styles of male and female caregivers.
