This week on My Cat's Tale, the emotional story of Kekoa.

Kekoa is an inquisitive cat, a cat who knows when they want affection and when they want to be left alone… and a cat who was incredibly lucky to survive playing with some toxic stargazer lilies.

Ewan listens to Alyssa as she takes us through the emotional and powerful story of Kekoa, the horror of discovering his body drenched in pollen, the anxious nights waiting for news from the vets, and the joy of welcoming him home and helping him recover.

This week on My Cat's Tale, we listen to the story of Cuarta, the little kitten found in the middle of the road.

From a chance encounter at one week old, Cuarta has found her forever home with Tom and his family… along with their two dogs. A cat was never planned for in the house, in fact, a cat was never considered given the two dogs already living with them. Bringing up Cuarta was and is a learning experience.

Tom talks to me about those first nights with Cuarta, where her name comes from, and why she likes the house’s internet router so much.

This week on My Cat's Tale, we catch up with Malcolm the Cat.

Caroline told us Malcolm’s tale of his injuries and treatment earlier this year. After he was hit by a car, his community rallied round to help fund his extensive medical treatment.

This week on My Cat's Tale, we meet Cedric.

Cedric is one chill cat. From a very early age, he just sat back and enjoyed the world… unless he hears the hoover. Chelsea was introduced to him when he was a one-week-old kitten, and there was never any doubt that he would be joining Chelsea and her partner as they all started a new life in a new home.

Ewan talks with Chelsea about moving house (twice) with Cedric and how he has adapted to moving house, matching the new sofa styles to Cedric’s cat tree, and the two other cats in his life who could be his Uncles.
