I asked members of my Trailblazers community a simple question: why do you take your cat on adventures or provide enrichment — and what difference has it made?

The stories I received were powerful.

In this episode, you’ll hear about three very different cats with very different personalities and comfort levels. Some go outside. Some don’t. But all of them benefited from enrichment, engagement, and doing things with their humans.

These real-life stories show how enrichment builds trust, confidence, routine, and a deeper bond between cats and their people.

It’s a reminder that enrichment isn’t about doing big, impressive things. It’s about understanding who your cat is and helping them thrive. 🐱🧡

How and when you feed your cat matters more than you might think. In this episode, I’m joined by cat behaviorist Joey Lusvardi to talk all about proper feeding schedules for cats and how meal timing impacts behavior, enrichment, and training success.

We dive into cats’ natural feeding behaviors, the pros and cons of free feeding, common behavior issues linked to improper feeding routines, and how feeding schedules affect food motivation for training. We also share practical tips for transitioning to more frequent meals, feeding cats when you’re not home during the day, and managing feeding routines in multi-cat households.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re working on cat training, enrichment, or behavior challenges.

For years, I thought I was a “good cat mom.”

I fed my cats, loved them, played with them, and kept them safe. But I had no idea how much I was underestimating them — and how much more they actually needed to truly thrive.

In this episode, I’m sharing the full story of how one wobbly cat named Sophie changed everything for me, how I accidentally did harness training completely wrong at first, and how each of my cats — from fearful rescues to confident adventurers — taught me what cats really need.

This isn’t just about outdoor adventures. It’s about enrichment, engagement, and the relationship you build when you start doing things with your cat instead of just living alongside them.

You’ll hear how my cats shaped KittyCatGO, why enrichment matters just as much indoors as it does outside, and why it’s never too late to start doing more with your cat. 🐾✨
