Evidence-based conversations about cats & the people who care for them
Each episode of Hiss & Tell features in-depth conversations with veterinarians, animal behaviorists, researchers, rescuers, authors, trainers, and other experts working to improve the lives of cats.
Topics include feline behavior, enrichment, stress and anxiety, nutrition, training, grief, rescue, cognition, welfare, and the evolving science of the human-cat bond. Whether you’re a devoted cat guardian, animal professional, foster, rescuer, or simply fascinated by feline behavior, the show is designed to help people better understand cats through compassionate, evidence-based conversations.
Hiss & Tell is independently produced. Listener support helps offset hosting and production costs and keeps the show accessible and minimally sponsored. Click here to help fund the podcast!
