Prepare yourselves, feline fanatics, as we embark on a brand-new chapter of our cat-filled journey, transitioning from the well-loved pages of Your Cat Magazine to the exciting realm of podcasts. Bringing our trusty ragdoll, Binks, along for the ride, we'll regale you with tales from our past, including the kooky auction of a former resident cat Charlie's scab on eBay, and our many trips to cat cafes around the UK. 

This episode beams with the heartwarming story of Garfy, the beloved ginger tomcat of Ely, whose tale is relayed by Cate Caruth. From friendly encounters with Sainsbury's shoppers to leaving an indelible paw print on the community, Garfy's story shines through. You'll learn about the campaign which saw him immortalised with a bronze sculpture and how the Your Cat team helped make it happen. 

As the yuletide season beckons, we're thrilled to have Clare Hemmington on board, a former city worker who swapped the hustle and bustle for the quieter, albeit equally challenging, vocation of a cat behaviourist.
