Cat Talk Radio

Is your cat "acting out"… or trying to tell you something?
In this episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly sits down with veterinarian Dr. Kevin Toman to explore the often-overlooked connection between chronic medical issues and feline behavior. From litter box problems to aggression and withdrawal, many behaviors we label as "bad" may actually be signs of pain, discomfort, or underlying illness.
With decades of clinical experience, Dr. Toman shares how conditions like arthritis, gastrointestinal issues, and even heart disease can quietly impact your cat's behavior—and what you can do about it.
You'll learn how to spot subtle warning signs, when to seek veterinary care, and simple, practical ways to support your cat's health and well-being at home, as well as longevity forward solutions.
Because when cats don't feel good, they don't just suffer physically—they communicate it through behavior.
Dr. Toman also invited our listeners to a free vet call - see www.FreeVetCall.com

On this hilarious episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss sits down with comedian Matt Koff to talk about his new comedy special Cat Man — an hour of stand-up centered around divorce, middle age, and yes… cats.
Matt believes society has a strange bias against men with cats, saying:
"People love cats, but men with cats make people uncomfortable. Including me."
Molly and Matt dive into why cats challenge masculinity stereotypes, why cat people are often misunderstood, and how living with cats can humble even the most confident human. They also explore dating as a cat guy, emotional support cats, why cats are masters of boundaries and consent, and whether owning a cat is actually a giant psychological red flag.
The conversation is packed with comedy, cat behavior insights, awkward truths, and plenty of laughs.
If you've ever canceled plans because a cat was sleeping on you… this episode is for you.

Your cat isn't just cute—they're a highly specialized predator with a lot in common with one of history's most iconic hunters: Tyrannosaurus rex.
In this episode, Molly breaks down the surprising similarities between cats and T. rex—from ambush hunting and jaw mechanics to sensory superpowers and energy conservation (aka sleeping all day, chaos all night).
If you've ever been ambushed in a hallway, stared down from across the room, or judged for your life choices… this episode will make a lot of sense.

What if the biggest health risk in your cat's bowl isn't what's listed on the label… but what's created during processing?
In this eye-opening episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss explores the potential dangers of charred kibble and what those dark, burnt bits could mean for your cat's long-term health. High-heat processing methods used to make dry food can create harmful compounds like heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs)—both linked to cancer and chronic disease.
Molly breaks down the science behind how these compounds form, what research is revealing about their presence in pet diets, and why cats may be especially vulnerable due to their unique biology and eating habits.
If you've ever wondered whether dry food is truly safe—or if there's more to the story—this episode will change the way you look at your cat's bowl.

What happens when a cat survives something unimaginable—and finds their way to joy?
In this powerful episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss speaks with Deborah Felin Magaldi, Director of Cat PAWS, about the incredible story of Benny—a cat who was found with a broken jaw and has since made a remarkable recovery… complete with a birthday celebration.
But Benny's story is about more than survival.
It highlights an important and often under-discussed reality:
👉 animal abuse and domestic violence can be connected.

You'll learn:
Benny's journey from trauma to healing
Subtle signs that something may not be right
How awareness can make a difference
Why "see something, say something" matters in animal welfare
This is a story of resilience, compassion, and the power of community.
