What do a neurologically impaired squirrel, a disabled sheep who herded cats, six cats with feline leukemia, and a beloved former police horse have in common? They’re all part of the extraordinary life of Michelle Lerner, author of A Series of Opinionated Animals: A Memoir. On this episode of Cattitude, Michelle Fern talks with the Harvard-educated lawyer, author and lifelong animal advocate about the rescued animals who shaped her life and taught her to see beyond age, illness and disability. Michelle shares the unforgettable story of Teddy Bear, a tiny, mostly hairless kitten with serious health challenges and an enormous personality; Lammy, the disabled sheep who wore children’s skateboard pads and actually learned to herd cats; and Shire, the horse she calls her soulmate, whose influence helped set her on the path to animal law. Michelle also reveals how an animal-rights sticker on her Harvard Law School locker helped spark a student movement that eventually contributed to animal law being taught at Harvard. It’s a funny, moving and inspiring conversation about rescue, advocacy and the remarkable lessons animals can teach us when we recognize their value for who they are.EPISODE NOTES: A Sheep That Herded Cats?!

Nathan the Cat Lady is back—and he’s traded some of the laughs for a whole lot of lifesaving! This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern catches up with social media sensation Nathan Kehn, aka Nathan the Cat Lady, who reveals how his world has changed since his last visit nearly six years ago. After a health scare forced him to reevaluate his life, Nathan left his full-time job and threw himself into animal rescue—and he hasn’t slowed down since. From TNR and transporting hundreds of shelter animals to safety with Wings of Rescue, to helping rescue Spanish galgos, building catios and animal sanctuaries, and even raising $150,000 in donated supplies for a former animal-testing facility turned sanctuary, Nathan is proving that having a huge social media following can do a whole lot more than generate likes. He also shares the hilarious story of why “Nathan the Cat Daddy” lasted exactly ONE DAY, gets candid about why animal rescue groups need to stop fighting and start working together, and delivers an important message to his more than one million followers: you don’t need money, expertise or a huge platform to save animals—everybody can do something. It’s funny, outspoken, inspiring and unmistakably Nathan the Cat Lady!EPISODE NOTES: Nathan the Cat Lady Unleashed: Cats, Chaos & Saving Lives!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
What if your cat could tell you exactly what they're thinking? This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes animal communicator Zan Ottaway, whose approach combines intuitive communication with an understanding of animal behavior. Zan explains how she connects with cats, why she believes anyone can become more receptive to what their pets are communicating, and why cats aren't being spiteful when they act out—they may instead be expressing insecurity, excitement or stress. Michelle even puts Zan's ideas to the test with her own misunderstood cat, Charlotte, as they explore one of the most frustrating feline problems of all: litter box issues. The conversation also takes a touching turn as Zan discusses how cats grieve, communicating with pets who have passed, the guilt many pet parents experience after losing a beloved animal, and her work helping rescue animals. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic or simply wish your cat came with a translator, this episode may have you looking—and listening—to your feline companion in an entirely new way.EPISODE NOTES: Your Cat Is Talking—Are You Listening?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes actor and filmmaker Joey Luthman, whose heartbreak over losing his beloved cat Winter to chronic kidney disease has turned into an extraordinary mission to help save cats everywhere. Joey shares how he teamed up with EveryCat Health Foundation with an ambitious goal of raising $1 million for feline health research, then took that mission across America on a OneWheel electric skateboard—an incredible journey now chronicled in the documentary CAT MAN: Journey to Save Cat Kind. But Joey isn't stopping there! On September 19, he's taking on an even crazier challenge: attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive hands-free pogo stick jumps, aiming for a whopping 20,000 jumps to raise even more money and awareness for cats. Joey and Michelle also discuss chronic kidney disease, why cats can hide signs of illness, the importance of hydration and early detection, and how pet parents can support the search for better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. It's an inspiring story of turning loss into action—and just how far one devoted cat dad is willing to go (and jump!) to make a difference for cats.EPISODE NOTES: Joey Luthman - A Million Dollars, 20,000 Jumps & One Very Determined Cat Dad!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes Chef Scot Hill of Wolf Creek, a professional chef for 35 years who traded the restaurant kitchen for the world of pet wellness—and is now turning his attention to cats with the launch of Feline Foundation. Chef Scot explains why cats aren't simply smaller versions of dogs, from their unique digestive physiology and status as obligate carnivores to their need for animal protein, taurine, proper hydration and feline-specific nutritional support. Michelle and Chef Scot dig into the fascinating connection between gut health and a cat's immune system, skin, coat, behavior and overall wellness, while revealing subtle signs that your cat's digestive system may be out of balance. They also cut through misleading pet-food marketing buzzwords, explain what pet parents should really look for on ingredient labels, and explore why cats may not actually be “finicky” eaters—they may just know more about what they need than we give them credit for! Plus, Chef Scot shares the surprising lessons he's learned by watching animals instinctively select herbs and reveals the mysterious neighborhood “Ghost” who just might turn this lifelong chef into a cat dad. It's a deliciously informative episode that serves up a fresh perspective on what we put in our cats' bowls.EPISODE NOTES: Cats Aren't Small Dogs!

What happens to the love we share with our cats after they're gone? This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes back author Josephine Spence for a touching and uplifting conversation about her new book, Echoes from the Rainbow Bridge, inspired by the loss of her beloved cat, Onkyo, after 19 extraordinary years together. Josephine shares how writing 37 imagined letters from Onkyo helped her navigate the silence, sadness and grief that followed her passing—and gave her comfort in believing their bond continues beyond this life. Michelle and Josephine explore why pet-loss grief is very real, meaningful ways to honor and remember a beloved cat, whether and when to open your heart to another pet, and the beautiful lessons cats teach us about unconditional love and living in the present. It's a heartfelt episode for anyone who has ever loved—and had to say goodbye to—a very special cat, with a hopeful reminder that the pawprints they leave on our hearts never disappear.EPISODE NOTES: Echoes from the Rainbow Bridge: When the Love of a Cat Never LeavesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
