39. Enriching Feline Lives and Understanding Pet Behavior

In this inspiring episode, Kristen and Chris bring you two incredible guests who are redefining the world of pets with innovation and expertise.
First, we’re joined by Cynthia Chomos, founder of Catio Spaces. Cynthia shares how her passion for design, nature, and cats led her to create beautiful and safe outdoor enclosures—or catios—that protect wildlife and enrich the lives of cats. She also provides tips for creating pet-friendly spaces and discusses how catios can be especially beneficial for senior cats during November’s Senior Pet Month.

Next, we welcome Dr. Annie Valuska, principal scientist on Purina’s Pet Behavior Team. Dr. Valuska talks about her fascinating career in animal behavior, including her experience at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and offers practical advice for understanding and improving pet behavior. She also shares insights into the importance of play for cats, how to decode their body language, and her journey to becoming a social media sensation with her account, Annie Knows Animals.
