We have the awesome Dr. Mike Lappin with us, the most frequent guest on our podcast! We are discussing what you can catch from your cat, i.e., zoonosis. Mike is the One Health Grand Poobah at WSAVA. They have an official connection with AAFP, not the feline one but the American Association of Family Practitioners. The purrpodcast is happy to be the first media outlet to cover this pre-announcement. What a fun episode.

This is episode 2 with Dr. Emmanuel Fontaine, a therio expert from Canada. We love to talk about reproduction in cats. This episode we talk about the unintended consequences of spaying and neutering, next to the advantages, of course. How do you detect if an animal is spayed if the animal still shows signs of heat or sexual activity? Emmanuel gives us all the answers.
