    Episode 17 - A Head of Steam

    When an urgent Mindfulness Meeting is called beneath Weasley’s house, tensions quickly spiral out of control. What begins as a discussion about feral cats and community safety soon descends into arguments about collars, heritage sites, cyclists, 1080, Facebook outrage, and who exactly should be apologising to whom. Meanwhile, Serafina struggles to maintain order from atop her beloved “Podium of Truth” — with increasingly questionable results. A satirical tale of small-town politics, social media chaos, and the dangers of giving cats microphones. #ComedyPodcast #Satire #CatPodcast #NZPodcast #SmallTownDrama #FacebookDrama

    Episode 15 - The Lockdown Party

    During the Covid-19 lockdown, Serafina’s carefully managed isolation bubble begins to unravel—first with arguments about dogs breaking the rules, then an unexpected barbecue disaster, surprise visitors, too much catnip, too much gin, and one truly regrettable party that ends with Meghan vomiting on Weasley’s brand-new cat bed. Sometimes home really is the safest place to be. #catsoftiktok #fictionpodcast #comedyfiction #orangecat #gingercat #catpodcast #humour #satire #nzpodcast #lockdownparty

    Episode 12 - Scarface

    When Weasley’s portrait goes on display, it attracts more than just admiration. A new arrival takes a particular interest — refined, attentive… and perhaps a little too keen. But between romance, reputation, and an unexpected trip to the vet, Weasley discovers that not everything is as it first appears — especially in matters of the heart. #DiaryOfAnOrangeCat #CatPodcast #FictionPodcast #NZPodcast #Satire #CatLife

    Episode 11 - An Unexpected Visitor

    An unexpected visitor arrives in Diamond Harbour -opinionated… informed… and entirely unapologetic. While Weasley is still grappling with some health concerns of his own, the morning quickly becomes something of an impromptu analysis — complete with advice, certainty, and a few uncomfortable truths. Not all visitors are welcome … but some may leave you with more to think about than you’d expect.

    Episode 10 - C.A.T.

    At this week’s Mindfulness Meeting, Serafina returns with a bold new initiative — Climate Action Together (C.A.T.) — and a plan to take urgent action in Diamond Harbour. There’s just one small detail… No one else seems entirely clear on what that action involves.Or why it requires superglue. Meanwhile, Weasley is dealing with concerns of his own — though, as usual, timing is not on his side.

    Episode 9 - What's New Pussycat

    A change of venue leads to an unexpected revelation when Squeak introduces his latest idea — online dating. With questionable profile choices, unsolicited advice, and a photograph that doesn’t quite match reality, Weasley finds himself navigating a whole new kind of social experiment. #funnycats #catdiary
