The Medical Side of Cat Behavior Most People Miss
Is your cat "acting out"… or trying to tell you something? In this episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly sits down with veterinarian Dr. Kevin Toman to explore the often-overlooked connection between chronic medical issues and feline behavior.

You'll learn how to spot subtle warning signs, when to seek veterinary care, and simple, practical ways to support your cat's health and well-being at home, as well as longevity forward solutions.

Burnt Bits: Is Your Cat's Kibble Cooking Up Cancer?
What if the biggest health risk in your cat's bowl isn't what's listed on the label… but what's created during processing? In this eye-opening episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss explores the potential dangers of charred kibble and what those dark, burnt bits could mean for your cat's long-term health.

Molly breaks down the science behind how these compounds form, what research is revealing about their presence in pet diets, and why cats may be especially vulnerable due to their unique biology and eating habits.
