Dog Lawyer Attorney Jeremy Cohen gave up his insurance fraud law practice to focus only on dogs. He is one of the few "dog only" lawyers in the U.S. Jeremy represents dangerous dogs that usually have a death sentence. He tells us that lots of people have threatened him and harass him, but it's worth it if he can save the life of a dog. Listen Now Maybe We're Not Smart Enough To Know Dr. Frans de Waal asks the poignant question, "Are we smart enough to know how smart animals are?" Many of us suspect that our cats and dogs have a sixth sense. They seem to know things are going to happen before humans do. Is this smarts, or is it hyper-observation of your every move? Maybe a little of both. Listen Now Supreme Court Puts a Value on Pets The Georgia Supreme Court will soon decide the value of a pet. Currently, the law sees pets as property, like a car or a toaster. The Georgia Supreme Court is set to rule on the value of the dog whose death was allegedly caused by a fancy, high dollar kennel that allegedly gave the dog the wrong medicine that ultimately killed her. The kennel says that Lola the dog was property, and the family should get her "market value" - which, because she was a free rescue dog, is nothing.

Welcome to all Doughboys listeners. I want to remind all of you that though doughboys is a fun comedy podcast, this is not a comedy show. This is for a more serious, thought out discussion of Heathcliff as a comic and cultural icon. There may be jokes, but they will be from the strip itself! I have seen some misgivings about my intent because of the link to the doughboys podcast, and want to make this clear to everyone. I will read a statement regarding this on tomorrow's episode.

Adam Myatt a.k.a. The Cat Man of West Oakland is not your normal crazy cat lady. After taking photos of West Oakland's feral cat population for about a year, he found a litter of kittens that would change his life… The kittens would lead him to Ann Dunn, the founder of non-profit organization Cat Town. That meeting led Adam, Ann, and everyone in the Cat Town team, to open the Cat Town Cafe & Adoption Center… the first cat cafe, and open colony adoption center in the USA! Cat Town has had an amazing success in it's efforts to empty cages, lower the euthanasia rate in Oakland (42% in 2011 and 7% in 2015), and find deserving cats loving homes. Now Myatt is turning his focus back to advocating TNR in Oakland and beyond! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/adultingwell/support

So sit back, pop open a nice bottle of your favorite wine and enjoy the episode!

Interview! Ann Dunn, Founder of Cat Town, Oakland, CA "Nobody wanted to be standing in a cafe making coffee, they wanted to be helping the cats. But now, we’re seeing how helpful it has been to forgotten kittens and see how successful it has been." Ann Dunn founded Cat Town, which is a cat rescue organization focusing on helping the most vulnerable cats in local shelters. Cats that are too scared in that environment have a hard time showing their best selves and soon tend to be overlooked by potential adopters. After realizing this, she wanted to work with these cats that needed the most intervention and save them from being euthanized. She opened the first Cat Cafe in conjunction with Cat Town in 2014 and just opened an adoption center for the hardest to place cats. She worked for over 20 years in public housing redevelopment in managing, funding and planning. While she didn’t grow up with cats, she did end up adopting 2 cats after college. It was in their memory that she started volunteering at the local animal shelter. She never imagined it would lead her to open her own rescue shelter and she soon became obsessed with helping cats. In this new venture, she saw opportunity to apply her professional skills to address the high euthanasia rate she saw with the higher risk cats who weren’t having luck find homes. In 2011, Oakland had a 42% euthanasia rate, but by focusing on cats most likely to be euthanized, she has helped place around 1,800 cats and reduced the euthanasia rate to 14%! Ann brought a different perspective to the problem when looking at the variables that were in play at an animal shelter. She saw obstacles that were in place that prevented some cats from feeling safe enough to be confident, which in turn, led them to not be adopted and often times, euthanized. Instead, she wanted to find a way to help by finding a way to place these cats in something other than a cage, where people could get to see them open up more. She originally was thinking this would happen in the form of a quasi sanctuary/adoption center/ cat cafe, so people would be able to spend time with these types of cats in an easier environment for the animals. She wanted to see these troubled cats find a “safe place” where they would transform into confident cats that people would want to adopt. She now works on the Forgotten Kitten Project, as well. She uses a different approach with kittens that come in who may not be socialized because they are a little older. She brings them in and lets them become desensitized to an active environment, where they are amazingly resilient. It helps boost their confidence and gives them the skills they need to become more adoptable cats. She received a grant from Maddie’s Fund for this, where she documents her findings in order to hopefully inspire other organizations to do the same thing and replicate this approach elsewhere. Ann also participates in an apprenticeship program through Maddie’s Fun, where she shares innovative ideas with other organizations. Cat Town is a host organization, where they have different organizations come in and shadow them, to see how they are doing things and what they can do to implement their ideas and success in their own organizations. Find out Ann’s thoughts on the Cat Cafe and what she would do differently if she had to do it again. Would she even open a cat cafe if she was starting all over? Learn more at www.cattownoakland.org

Andrew & Fiona have the longest intro they've done, followed by a run-down of some hip(ster) places in East London. Did you want breakfast or a cocktail? They cover both those things. Just don't expect anything about lunch or dinner. Fun drinking game - a shot every time they use the word "hipster". You may be dead by the end of the podcast, but you'll have had fun.

Animal Cruelty Charges Dropped Against Cesar Millan The investigation of dog trainer Cesar Millan (Dog Whisperer on TV), is over and there will be no charges filed. It all began in February when an episode of Millan's show featured him using a scared potbellied pig to teach a French bulldog to get along with pigs. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's office says they were unable to find anything to charge Mr. Millan with.
