Stacey is back on our podcast and is a communication specialist in Dr. Susan's clinic. She gives tips on dealing with social media in your clinic and handling demanding clients. Dr. Susan tells about her information prescriptions, where she curates a collection of information resources. Stacey is a big fan of using rewarding language with any clients.

Stacey Gonzalez is our week's guest, a communication manager at Bytown and Merivale Cat Hospitals. Stacey brings a lot to the hospital, and we talk about how important good communication is for any hospital setting. Stacey gives us tips when the media contacts us for an interview. Did you know the first thing you should ask is if you can have the questions in advance? An episode with lots of great communication stuff.

We have the awesome Dr. Mike Lappin with us, the most frequent guest on our podcast! We are discussing what you can catch from your cat, i.e., zoonosis. Mike is the One Health Grand Poobah at WSAVA. They have an official connection with AAFP, not the feline one but the American Association of Family Practitioners. The purrpodcast is happy to be the first media outlet to cover this pre-announcement. What a fun episode.

This is episode 2 with Dr. Emmanuel Fontaine, a therio expert from Canada. We love to talk about reproduction in cats. This episode we talk about the unintended consequences of spaying and neutering, next to the advantages, of course. How do you detect if an animal is spayed if the animal still shows signs of heat or sexual activity? Emmanuel gives us all the answers.

Dr. Emmanuel is our guest on the purrpodcast. He is a therionologist and Diplomate for the European College of Veterinary Reproduction and we discuss lots of cool stuff in repro or therio as they call it here in the US. Did you know that repro reseachers are looking for the holy grail in veterinary medicine: how to spay cats without surgery? Emmanuel knows all about it!

Dr. Kelly and Dr. Jolle are back with an episode discussing recent articles. One article is about foxtails or grass awns in cats and the d-word. Most foxtails occur near the eye in cats! Another article discusses Ragdolls and specific blood values in this type of cats. Do we now have to have normal values for all breeds of cats?

Our second episode is here when Dr. Kelly and I talk with the incredible Dr. Mary Gardner about her new book Nine lives are not enough; a practical guide for caring for your geriatric cat. You still have time to buy it for yourself! With lots of tips on how to care for our precious older felines.

We are so excited to offer you this podcast during the holidays! The fabulous Dr. Mary Gardner joins us to discuss her new book: Nine lives are not enough. This is the best holiday present you can buy for yourself and your loved ones. It is wonderfully illustrated and discusses everything you need to know about your aging cat. We love this book!! Happy holidays to all of you.

Dr. Kelly and Dr. Jolle discussed new articles this week. The first one discusses the use of non-core vaccines. There is quite a variation in coverage in the USA, and the article explains the possible why behind this. There are quite a lot of cats involved with this study! Another article discussed the student's attitudes toward working with cats. Dr. Jolle confesses his inaptitude with dealing with horses in general.

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle discuss the new AAFP magazine focusing on feline pain and mental health. We love this new magazine, and it is available for AAFP members. So time to become a member @catfriendlyhomes @catvets

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle are back live from beautiful Kansas. We discuss a new magazine from AAFP, the American Association of Feline Practitioners. This new magazine will be available for all AAFP members for free and we also think about open access vs paid journal subscriptions

A great episode with Dr. Leslie Lyons. We talk about all genetics as she is the cat gene expert in the world! We start with the pharaohs and end with crispering news. Wow, what a replicated and exciting episode!

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle discuss recent articles. The first one is deleting the gene that is responsible for the protein to which most people are allergic. A technique called Crisper was used to delete the gen out of cell lines. The second article talks about cats recognizing the other cat's name. If the wrong name was used, the cats were confused.

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle are back, and how! They have not done a podcast for a long time so this first one is an update about what is going on in their lives and yes we do talk about cats too! What else?

This is a repeat episode of our most listened-to podcast with Dr. Panos Xenoulis where we focus on feline pancreatitis, and the best news is that next week we will be back with a brand new episode to start our 5th year of podcasting!

This is a repeat episode of a while ago with our amazing guest Dr. Panos Xenoulis. He is one of the world's most famous pancreas experts, especially when we talk about cats (and that is all we do!). Panos lives in Greece and did most of his graduate work in the US and worked at Texas A&M for more than 10 years. We discuss how cats are different in showing signs of pancreatitis and discuss the most common tests to diagnose this disease. Whoever thought that pancreatitis is not common in the cat, listen up! The topic was requested by a faithful listener, so thank you for that suggestion.

The last of our cat bites of summer. This is an interview with Dr Panos Xenopoulis, the winner of his year's most downloaded podcast. We are still in Rhodes and are talking about the cat population on the island.

Dr. Sarah Heath is joining us for this short summer cat bite. Taped in beautiful Rhodes, Greece, during ISFM. Dr. Sarah Heath is from the UK and talks about cat behavior and the importance of thinking about the health triad: the interplay between emotional, cognitive, and physical health. One of the topics is zero pain in cats. A cool 10 minutes in the Greek heat of summer.

Dr. Hillary Noyes shares her learnings from the ISFM meeting in Rhodes, Greece. A multidisciplinary approach to cat behavior is so essential to be successful.

Dr. Kelly joined me in Rhoides Greece at the ISFM Congress where we reminisce about all the things we have heard. This is a 5 week summer edition of the purrpodcast with short podcasts full of info and lots of fun interviews.
