CatCog: Cat Science & Psychology

CatCog: Cat Science & Psychology

CatCog is the podcast for people who don’t just love their cats—they want to understand them.

Hosted by Adam, a psychologist who treats feline behavior with the seriousness it deserves, we decode the "why" behind the meow. We skip the fluff and generic tips to dig into the actual science: How does their vision work? Why do they really zoom at 3 AM? And how can we use biology to give them a longer, happier life?

Join Adam and his cat, Moon, as they translate complex research into a user’s manual for your favorite predator.
