A communication manager is essential in any veterinary practice, but what does such a person do? Stacey Gonzalez is interviewed by Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle about her career and what roles she plays in a cat hospital.

Dr. Emmanuel Fontaine is a specialist in veterinary reproduction and talks with Dr. Susan and myself about if we can spay cats without doing surgery. At the end of the podcast we talk about the difference between ovariectomy (removing only the ovaries) and ovariohysterectomy (removing the ovaries and the uterus) in cats. What is more exciting than cat repro? Did you know that cats are inflatable?

Dr. Kelly and Dr. Jolle discuss the new cat book, "nine lives are not enough, a practical guide to caring for a geriatric cat' with the author Dr. Mary Gardner. Mary is a veterinarian and expert in geriatric animals. Her new book is fantastic and we recommend all cat owners read it. It is a practical guide to changes that will happen when cats get older, and it is always so much fun to have Dr. Mary on the show.

Dr. Kelly and I discuss a recent article about vaccinations in cats. Some vaccines are considered core (for all cats) and noncore (only for cats that are at risk). Dr. Kelly and Dr. Jolle discuss the vaccines needed for your cat and why you should or should not vaccinate. There is a lot of discussion about this, but it is pretty simple.

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle are back together and are so excited! They are discussing some major myths about being a wonderful feline. Do you think a cat is a social breed? All myths will be busted!!!

Dr. Leslie Lyons explains why cat genes are essential and educates us about all the new tricks genetics research uses to determine where your cat comes from. Is she a single-breed cat of a nice mix of many breeds?

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle are back, and how! They have not done a podcast for a long time so this first one is an update about what is going on in their lives, and yes, we do talk about cats too! What else?

The last of our cat bites of summer. This is an interview with Dr Panos Xenopoulis, the winner of his year's most downloaded podcast. We are still in Rhodes and are talking about the cat population on the island.

Dr Sarah Heath from the UK is our guest and talks about cat behaviour and how important it is to think about the health triad: the interplay between emotional, cognitive and physical health. One of the topics is zero pain in cats. A cool 10 minutes in the heat of Rhodes, Greece

This summer we will have short Summer Cat Bites. These are 10-minute-long episodes that were taped in Rhodes Greece during the latest ISFM Congress. The first one hosts Claire Bessant, the leading voice behind International Cat Care where they believe in a world in which each cat’s life experience will be as good as it can be. They do this by providing cat owners, veterinary professionals and those that live and work with cats with the resources, support and advice they need to care better for their cats.
