Are cats truly aloof, or are we just misunderstanding them?

In this fascinating episode, I was privileged to talk about my favourite topic: cats! Together, Mikel Delgado, author of Play With Your Cat, and I explored the mysterious world of cat behaviour. Discover why cats can be so perplexing, how their subtle body language differs from dogs', and the emotions they really feel, including love, grief, and anxiety. The conversation explores what makes cats happy, signs of stress owners often miss, and how to foster a genuine bond with your feline companion, on your cat’s terms. Learn why play is crucial for cats of all ages, how to enrich your indoor cat’s life, and get expert advice for managing tricky issues like multi-cat households, fighting, and boredom. Perfect for cat lovers, pet owners, and anyone wanting to understand the secret lives of their feline friends! Tune in for science-backed tips, heartwarming stories, and practical strategies to make your cat’s life (and yours!) happier and healthier.
