In this episode, Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle discuss two new inventions for cat lovers. The first is a litterbox that recognizes the cats and has lots of features that are pretty interesting, and the second is an app that identifies the cat's facial features and predicts if the cat is feeling in pain or not. Will the cat be as enthusiastic as well?

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle are chatting about cats (what else), do you know where the Persian comes from? We also talk about things that bite cats and cat bites in general. How to avoid them and what to do if your cat gets bitten.

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle have a bloody topic: blood transfusions. We talk about different blood types and why we care about them. Sometimes your cat gets him or herself in trouble and needs blood from another cat. Give it some blood may you think but it is not that easy. Cats may have antibodies against the blood that you give and this can be very dangerous.

This week we discuss the eye of the cat, a beautiful organ that makes a cat special. Don't you love looking at those beautiful cat eyes? How are they different than our eyes and what diseases should we beware of. This week's guest is Dr. Rick Sanchez, a specialist in cat-eye diseases. Happy International Cat Day 2021!
