    When Skin Tells Tales: The Hidden Cancer Connection in Cats

    In the February open access episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, Yaiza Gómez-Mejías is joined by Sandra Guillén to discuss her latest JFMS article entitled  ’Cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes in cats: a comparative clinical review.’ Together, they explore how certain feline skin presentations can act as early warning signs of internal disease, discussing key clinical patterns, diagnostic reasoning, and why these cases are so easy to miss. The conversation highlights practical take-home messages for recognising when a dermatological problem may be signalling something far more serious beneath the surface.

    Cats, Cohabitation and Cardiac Care

    In the January episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, we explore two distinct but equally important areas of feline health: welfare research and clinical cardiology. First, Sarah Ellis speaks with Morgane Van Belle, recipient of the iCatCare Welfare Research Award 2025, about her research into social behaviour in multi-cat households. They discuss why understanding and describing feline interactions matters, and how this work can support better welfare outcomes for cats living together. Then, Kelly St. Denis is joined by Sonya Gordon to discuss the practical use of pimobendan in cats. Together, they explore key considerations around evidence-based decision making and how clinicians approach treatment choices in real-world practice.

    Cracking the Code on Cat Dental Care and Parasite Control

    In the December episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, we focus on two essential areas of feline practice: oral and dental health, and parasite prevention. Firstly, Kelly St. Denis and Heidi Lobprise, co-chairs of the new JFMS Oral Health and Dental Care Guidelines, explore key themes in clinical decision making and how best to support caregivers in maintaining good oral health for their cats. Then, iCatCare’s Sam Taylor speaks with Ian Wright about risk-based parasite prevention, exploring how lifestyle and regional factors influence practical choices in everyday veterinary practice.

    Cats in Context: Global Care and New Feline Diabetes Guidelines

    In the November episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, we explore two sides of feline health: global strategy and practical clinical decision making. First, Severine Tasker reflects on her first few months as iCatCare’s Veterinary Strategic Lead. She talks about what drew her to the role, the international challenges shaping feline welfare, and why understanding context and caregiver realities can change the way we help cats. Then, Sam Taylor joins us to discuss the newly released iCatCare Diabetes Guidelines. We explore what has shifted since the previous update, how new treatments and monitoring tools are influencing practice, and the considerations that matter most when supporting diabetic cats and their caregivers.

    Emotional Health Isn’t Extra: The Heath Model in Practice

    In this special episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, sponsored by Orion Animal Health, iCatCare’s Yaiza Gómez Mejías and Laura Watson are joined by Dr Sarah Heath to explore the clinical relevance of emotional health in feline practice. Drawing on decades of experience, Dr Heath outlines the principles of the Heath Model - a framework that integrates emotional, cognitive, and physical health as core components of veterinary care. Using accessible tools she offers practical ways to identify emotional bias and arousal in cats, even within time-limited consults. The conversation moves from subtle behavioural cues and their diagnostic value, to the role of veterinary nurses in emotional assessments and client communication. Rather than treating behaviour as an afterthought, this episode challenges practitioners to recognise behavioural medicine as a veterinary discipline in its own right - essential not only for accurate diagnosis and treatment, but for improving clinical outcomes, reducing repeat visits, and supporting long-term feline welfare.

    From Big Cats to Breakthroughs - Emerging Diseases & New Therapeutics

    In the October episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, we spotlight progress and innovation in feline clinical medicine through two compelling conversations. First, Sam Taylor speaks with Gabriele Ratti, winner of the ABCD Young Scientist Award, about his research into emerging infectious threats in cats. They explore the shifting landscape of feline infectious diseases, the challenges of studying both unowned and wild felids, and the critical role of prevention and biosecurity across species and settings. Then, Kelly St. Denis is joined by William Whitehouse and Katrina Viviano to discuss their recent JFMS article on feline clinical therapeutics. Together, they unpack new developments in pain management, drug therapies for conditions like FIP, HCM, and chronic kidney disease, and what these advances mean for veterinary teams and cat caregivers. From once-untreatable diagnoses to evolving best practices, this conversation highlights how ongoing research is reshaping feline care.

    In the September episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, we bring together two conversations on how innovation and teamwork shape feline medicine. First, Yaiza Gómez Mejías speaks with Morgane Debuigne, winner of the JFMS Resident Best Paper Award 2024, about her article on feline supraglottic airway devices. What does the latest research reveal about their role in anaesthesia and where do they fit alongside established practice? Then, Dr Kelly St. Denis continues her discussion with Mary Ellen Goldberg on feline rehabilitation. In this second part, they explore therapies, exercises, and the practical ways veterinary teams and owners can play a role in supporting recovery. Catch up on the first part of their conversation by tuning into our July episode!

    Steroids, Stools, and the Surprises In Between

    In the August episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, we explore how feline care often requires thinking beyond the obvious - especially when clinical signs don’t match expectations. First, Yaiza Gómez Mejías speaks with Annamaria Tiozzo Ambrosi about her award-winning JFMS Open Report on hypokalaemic myopathy associated with iatrogenic hypercorticism. The case, involving long-term steroid use in a cat with subtle but serious symptoms, highlights the diagnostic value of persistence, good history taking, and knowing when the usual differentials don’t quite add up. Then, Katie McCallum and Giulia Cattaneo join Yaiza to discuss their JFMS Clinical Spotlight review on feline enteropathogens and molecular diagnostics. They explore common risk factors for enteric disease, from shelter environments to raw feeding, and unpack how genetics, co-infections, and gut ecology influence both testing decisions and clinical outcomes.  For further reading material please visit: Hypokalaemic myopathy associated with iatrogenic hypercorticism in a cat Feline enteropathogens and molecular diagnostics: benefits, limitations and clinical applicationsView The Transcript Here For iCatCare Veterinary Members, full recordings of each episode of the podcast are available for you to listen to at portal.icatcare.org.
