In this special Ask Me Anything episode, I’m joined by my husband Bobby as we share what’s coming next for KittyCatGO in 2026 — including my upcoming cat enrichment course and new one-on-one training consultations. I also answer listener-submitted questions covering common cat training and enrichment challenges, like helping cats feel more comfortable around passing cars and fireworks, addressing restless or unsettled behavior, and navigating everyday life with sensitive or high-energy cats. We also mix in a few fun, lighthearted questions for a behind-the-scenes look at our life in a multi-cat household.
