Is your cat secretly in pain? There's an app for that! Seriously. Tably app from Sylvester.ai has created an artificial intelligence app for your iPhone that predicts your cats pain level with over 90% accuracy. Molly talks with Dr. Liz Bales, Chief Medical Officer and primary Veterinarian consultant for Tably, about how this app really works. We all know that pain can lead to various behavior issues, so it's important to get your cat medical care when it's needed. The challenge is, most cats disguise their pain, so it's very difficult to diagnose pain levels - even if we've lived with the cat for many years, and think we can read it well. Tune in to find out how to take the mystery out of determining cat pain!

Does your cat have dandruff? What is worse, dander or dandruff? What causes it and how can you help your cat to have a healthy, dandruff-free coat?

This episode is sort of a compilation of short stories. We read you their situation and talk about solutions and the interesting behaviors of our feline companions, including: The Wild Child, Steve, Organic cat food & Treats, and Post Trauma Behavior.
