Going on vacation should be relaxing—but for cat parents, figuring out who you can trust with your feline family member can be the most stressful part! This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes Emily Grossman, Chief Marketing Officer of TrustedHousesitters, to explore a unique approach to pet care that connects pet parents with verified animal-loving sitters who stay in the home while their owners are away. Emily explains how the membership-based community works, how sitters are vetted, why trust and transparency are so important, and what cat parents should look for before inviting someone into their home. Plus, Michelle and Emily tackle the myth that cats are perfectly content being left alone for days, why staying in their familiar home environment can be especially important for felines, and how photos, updates and a little preparation can give nervous cat parents some much-needed peace of mind while they're away.EPISODE NOTES: Have Cats, Will Travel!

It’s the 300th episode of Cattitude, and Michelle Fern is celebrating in a big way with a very special guest: Valerie Bertinelli! From One Day at a Time to Hot in Cleveland, Valerie has been part of our lives for decades—but on this episode, cat lovers get to meet a whole different side of her: devoted cat mom, passionate animal lover, voracious reader, and the heart behind her new projects, including Getting Naked and Valerie’s Place. Valerie shares hilarious and heartfelt stories about her feline family—Batman, Henry, Tigger, Bubba, and Beau—along with the chaos, cuddles, spraying, scratching, litter box drama, and unconditional love that come with life in a multi-cat household. She also opens up about vulnerability, grief, books, food, and why animals help us see ourselves with more compassion. It’s funny, warm, deeply real, and the perfect way to mark this milestone episode of Cattitude.EPISODE NOTES: Valerie Bertinelli Talks Cats, Chaos & Cat Mom LifeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.

In Part 2 of Cattitude’s special two-part series on the Cats of New York City, host Michelle Fern welcomes Peggy Gavan and Daniel Rimada, co-founders of Cats About Town Tours—the city’s first walking tours dedicated to feline history, lore, and legendary local kitties. Discover how their tours weave “mini history lessons” with unforgettable cat stories across Brooklyn Heights, the Lower East Side, and the Financial District—featuring iconic felines like Jerry Fox (the blind cat who helped save Brooklyn Borough Hall), Nicodemus (a star of the first national cat show at Madison Square Garden), and Mutilator (the famous newspaper cat of The New York Sun). Then the conversation turns to the beloved—and sometimes controversial—bodega cats: what they are, why they matter, the myths people get wrong, and how a community-driven movement may help improve standards of care (and even influence legislation). If you love cats, city history, or both, this episode is a purr-fect NYC adventure—no subway fare required.EPISODE NOTES: Cats About Town: NYC’s Secret Feline HistoryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
