    Episode 24 - Time to Go Home

    Weasley finally summons the courage to use his dreaded microchip cat door—but one impulsive decision leads him to a fireworks party, a desperate journey back to his old home, and the heartbreaking discovery that not everything has stayed the same. Lost, frightened and longing for the familiar, Weasley embarks on his greatest adventure yet. Along the way, he learns that home isn't simply a house or a favourite sleeping spot—it's the people, friendships and love that make us feel we belong.

    Episode 23 - The Authorised Pet

    Weasley's long-awaited cat door has finally been installed, but instead of celebrating his new freedom, he's convinced he's become part of a sinister surveillance network. Between internet-connected pet doors, disappearing dirt-boxes and Squeak's suspicious enthusiasm for modern technology, Weasley begins to fear that becoming an "Authorised Pet" comes with rather more strings attached than he'd bargained for.#DiaryOfAnOrangeCat #ComedyPodcast #FictionPodcast #AuthorisedPet #CatDoor #CatLife #CatHumour #Satire

    Episode 22 - Deep Trouble

    🐾 Weasley thought the worst was over after moving house. He'd finally been allowed outside to explore his new neighbourhood... until a confrontation with a mysterious tabby cat sent him running in blind panic. Before long, he finds himself back at his old home, living off compost-bin leftovers, avoiding capture, and becoming the subject of a full-scale search across Diamond Harbour. Meanwhile, Facebook detectives, well-meaning neighbours, and even a cat trap all become part of the hunt for the harbour's favourite missing ginger cat. Will Weasley ever find the courage to go home? The Diary of an Orange Cat is a humorous fiction podcast following the adventures of Weasley, a thoughtful (and slightly neurotic) ginger cat whose observations on small-town life, politics and humans are often far wiser than he'd care to admit. 🐈 New episodes every Sunday. #ComedyPodcast #AudioDrama #FictionPodcast #Cats #CatStories #Humour #Satire #NewZealand #GingerCat #MissingCat #DiamondHarbour #DiaryOfAnOrangeCat

    Episode 21 - Conflict of Interest

    Newly installed as leader of the local cat Cabinet, Weasley is determined to make his mark on Diamond Harbour. Unfortunately, his plans are derailed by a house move, a controversial "Chip and Snip" proposal, an injured kererū, and a journalist with difficult questions about family connections. Politics, as Weasley is about to discover, can be a very messy business. The Diary of an Orange Cat is based on The Woes of Weasley by Claire Jewitt. #DiaryOfAnOrangeCat #ComedyFiction #CatPodcast #AudioDrama #FictionPodcast #NewZealandPodcast

    Episode 18 - An Abundance of Caution

    When concerns are raised about a series of mysterious bird deaths, Serafina responds in the only way she knows how: with an emergency meeting, a Podium of Truth, expert advice, and a bewildering collection of new rules. Weasley, Ron and Squeak attend with increasing scepticism as caution gives way to chaos.

    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
