In this special National Cat Day episode of the Pets Add Life Podcast, host Chris Bonifati is joined again by guest co-host Harrison Forbes for a feline-focused celebration. The duo share hilarious and heartwarming cat stories, from Boston’s “Bike Path Cat Mayor” to the expressive felines of the New York Pet Fashion Show. They’re then joined by the one and only Jackson Galaxy, the world-famous “Cat Daddy” and host of My Cat from Hell. Jackson shares how he went from musician to cat behaviorist, discusses enriching feline environments through “catification,” and highlights the incredible work of the Jackson Galaxy Project. Later, the hosts welcome Dr. Matthew Gray, President & CEO of the Healthy Trade Institute, who explains his organization’s groundbreaking national reptile and amphibian adoption program and its mission to ensure disease-safe, ethical pet trade practices.
