"The ultimate goal is to make cat welfare and population management so normal, so embedded in our communities, that it's simply what a community does." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, The Animal Rights Foundation, and The Underfoot Podcast. In this insightful follow-up to episode 605, Stacy LeBaron welcomes back global animal welfare strategist Harry Eckman, who shares groundbreaking findings from an ambitious five-country research initiative on cat population management. Funded by the Bates Global Enablers Grant and spearheaded by International Cat Care, the project explores the cat welfare landscapes of Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Australia, and the UK—identifying challenges, public perceptions, and innovative strategies tailored to each country. Harry delves into what makes this research unique: over 120 in-depth stakeholder interviews, public opinion surveys, and detailed country reports culminating in two critical resources—a foundational 18-month strategy and a visionary 10-year framework. With an upstream-thinking approach, he emphasizes aligning communities, funders, and policymakers under shared goals, whether on a city block or a national level. From addressing cat stigmatization in Australia to proposing a model project in Cyprus, Harry's holistic, data-driven approach provides a roadmap for turning compassion into coordinated, sustainable action. Whether you're managing a colony or planning municipal policies, this episode will inspire you to think bigger—and upstream—about community cat care.

Patrick delves deep into life's biggest regrets as shared by hundreds of patients on their deathbeds. From wishing they'd stay in touch with friends to not working so hard, the lessons learned are both profound and universal. Remember to live in the moment, cherish your loved ones, and let go of unnecessary worries. Patrick shares a story of someone who asked 100s of elderly people the biggest regrets they had on their deathbeds (00:54) Patrick and Cyrus on the importance of living in the present and cherishing every moment with loved ones. Karen - End of Life: Be present at all times to everyone. I was more present to my husband, and it made the world of difference. He passed away a few years later and I was thankful I could love him well before the end. (19:43) Jim - My kids are in their 30s and 40s and I still tell them I love them. I'd like to share a story basically a rip off of Cats in the Cradle called Father and Son. (25:04) Marta - I have an aunt who I was estranged from. She is now bedridden. Can she receive the Anointing of the Sick even though she is using marijuana edibles? Patrick shares a personal story of regret and not saying something he should have (36:08) Marie - When I was in college, I had this need to hear the words “I love you” from my parents. I would call them every week and would always be afraid to say I love you. Eventually I built up courage, and it really transformed our relationship. As children, we can initiate that with our parents. Gabby - I lost my wife a few years ago unexpectedly. I could see her growing in her faith a few years before she died. We have some special needs kids, and I could not handle taking care of them without the support of my daughter. Originally aired on 05/17/24

In this episode, Collin talks with certified cat behavior consultant Laura Cassiday of Positive Vibes Cat Behavior and Training about decoding feline body language, aggression, and litter box issues. Laura shares her process for understanding the "why" behind cat behavior and offers practical steps for sitters in fearful or aggressive cat situations. Together, they discuss the importance of setting client expectations, documenting visits, and advocating for enrichment. You'll walk away with actionable insight to keep both you and your feline clients safe, happy, and understood. Main topics: Understanding cat body language and signals Managing aggression and fearful cats Litter box problems and environment setup Communicating with clients about cat behavior Enrichment for shy or stressed cats Main takeaway: "Working with animals comes with a whole lot of people." Most of us got into pet care because we love animals—the quiet moments, the connection, the work itself. But every visit, every behavior concern, and every hard day comes with a human on the other end who's worried, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. The job isn't just reading body language or scooping litter; it's translating what we're seeing into clear, compassionate communication. When we do that well, we don't just care for pets—we build trust, set expectations, and help families feel supported. Professional pet care is as much about people skills as it is animal skills. About our guest: Laura Cassiday is a certified cat behavior consultant (IAABC) and founder of Positive Vibes Cat Behavior and Training, based in Baltimore, Maryland. She specializes in solving complex feline behavior challenges, from litter box avoidance to multi-cat aggression. With a background in shelter behavior and a master's degree in professional writing, Laura combines science-based methods with compassionate communication to help cats and their people live harmoniously. She's also pursuing a graduate degree in Applied Animal Behavior and Welfare and works part-time with Forever Friends Cat Sitting.

New year, New show! This week we checked out a forgotten show called B.A.D. Cats. It's about two guys who used to be race car drivers and now are cops. At least I guess so, they never really explain it. The show also features Michelle Pfeiffer in one of her first starring rolls. There is a lot of car chases and some weird plot about stolen gold hiding in cars, but not really. Check it out!

Celebrating a Quarter-Century of Animal Radio Join us for a special celebration of America's favorite and longest-running pet show. Animal Radio looks back at the last 24 seasons with guest appearances by Actor Ed Asner, Dog Wig Maker Ruth Regina, The Monkees' Davy Jones, Comedian Paul Reiser, Actor Dick Van Patten, Singer Donny Osmond, and a final bow from Vladae The World Famous Russian Dog Wizard, Dog Trainer Alan Kabel, News Director Lori Brooks, Executive Producer Judy Francis, Groomer Joey Villani, Veterinarian Dr. Debbie and your host Hal Abrams. Listen Now If You Are Anxious, Your Dog May Be Feeling The Stress, Too Numerous studies have found that dogs and their owners can experience synchronized emotions and stress levels, especially during acutely stressful or exciting activities. A new study followed dogs and their owners to see how stress hormones in animals and humans changed over time. The results suggest that if the owner is stressed, then the dog is also likely to mirror that stress. The researchers then took hair samples from the dogs and their owners to test for the stress-related hormone cortisol, which can be detected in hair. They found that dog cortisol levels mirror the personality traits of their owners. Maybe even more interesting was that the owner's personality influenced the dog's cortisol level, rather than the dog's personality itself. Listen Now Read more about this week's show.

With the New Year here and wellness top of mind, Best Bets for Pets host Michelle Fern explores how small nutrition changes can make a big difference in your pet's health. This episode spotlights Vital Essentials, a raw dog and cat food and treat brand that makes feeding real, nutrient-rich food simple and approachable. Joined by Ashlyn Lane, Consumer Experience Manager at Carnivore Meat Company and an animal nutrition expert with deep industry and hands-on training experience, Michelle dives into the benefits of raw nutrition — including improved digestion, increased energy, shinier coats, and overall vitality. Listeners will learn why you don't need a full diet overhaul to see results, how adding just 20% raw protein can support wellness, and why single-ingredient treats like minnows, beef liver, and crunchy mini nibs are an easy way to get started for both dogs and cats.EPISODE NOTES: New Year, Healthier Pets: Simple Raw Nutrition Wins with Vital EssentialsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-bets-for-pets-the-latest-pet-product-trends-pets-animals-pet-life-radio-original--6667904/support.

Cats is one of the most famous plays of all time and dominated Broadway in the 80s and 90s. It has timeless music by Andrew Lloyd Webber inspired by poems written by T.S. Eliot.

Tracey had a prolonged and close view of a black panther outside her car at a forest edge in Gloucestershire in 2001. Two years later she was able to compare the cat with a black leopardess at Heythrop private zoo in the Cotswolds. Tracey recounts other big cat reports from family and friends, including from her sister who was a sceptic until seeing a black panther in the same general area, and from friends who were confronted by a puma on a cycleway near Stroud.Tracey has had two puma encounters herself. The first on a mountain path when trekking in Patagonia, and then in October 2025, when driving on the edge of Cirencester. Rick recalls past big cat sightings in precisely the same area of Cirencester, unknown to Tracey.  In a final segment we play voice messages from Craig in Herefordshire as he follows up ep129 when he reported a puma on one of his trail cams. In December Craig was charged by a puma just meters from that camera and he's twice seen watching eye shine at close range. We then hear from Mark Graves, from ep 95, as he responds to Craig's comments and queries about these recent events.  Word of the week:   zoophobia11 January 2026
