LIVIN’ ON A PREYER

Who the hell is Terry? This is a super-pervy episode, and no one is sorry about it. Cats are self-possessed! Trash for your cats! It’s the season finale, baby (which doesn’t really mean anything; it’s just the last episode of szn one). From edging to disemboweling, Kate and Eggs talk about what kind of player your cat might be (and what their kinks are).

THE HAND THAT FEEDS

Is your cat a picky eater? It’s probably your fault! Just kidding (or maybe not). Cats don’t graze! Save the deep dish for pizza! Kate and Eggs get into reasons why your cat is “finicky.” Spoiler alert - it’s not because they’re “spoiled!”

DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS

Got a sensitive gag reflex? Keep that thing in check, baby. Today’s episode is GROSS (but oh so important) as we discuss vomit. We’re talking about balls (of the hair variety), mucosal linings, intestinal blockages, and how your cat’s puke is like a mood ring!

Seriously - don’t eat while enjoying this episode. Even Kate - who can stuff her face while watching medical shows and gory movies - had to hit pause. Parasites and foreign bodies and IBD, oh my!
