What if aging didn’t have to mean inevitable decline for our cats?In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we’re joined by Penny Wood, also known as Dr. Zoolittle, a Longevity Zoologist dedicated to studying how animals can live longer, healthier, more resilient lives.Penny’s work goes far beyond symptom management. She studies aging itself - the biological processes that determine how fast animals age, why disease risk increases over time, and what actually supports long-term vitality at a cellular level.Together, we dive into The 7 Pillars of Cat Longevity, exploring the foundational elements that influence lifespan, healthspan, and quality of life. From metabolic health and immune resilience to environmental stressors and species-appropriate care, this conversation reframes what “anti-aging” really means for cats.Penny also introduces her groundbreaking Animal Anti-Aging approach - a science-based framework described as the key to biology’s Time Vault, designed to slow aging, enhance disease protection, and optimize health for the animals we love, both now and in the future.If you’ve ever wondered:• Why some cats age gracefully while others decline quickly• Whether aging is something we can influence - not just accept• How to support longevity before disease shows upThis episode will change how you think about feline aging forever.Because longevity isn’t about living longer at all costs.
