Welcome to Heart, Cat & Soul—a podcast dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the feline world on physical, emotional, and energetic levels.
As a cat and nutrition specialist, I aim to offer a unique perspective, beyond the conventional discussions you often hear. Cat science can be slow to evolve, and daily challenges arise, but here, we explore every alternative, whether grounded in science or shaped by over 12 years of experience.
Starting with what research can prove, we’ll dive into hypotheses and insights that keep science engaging—never boring

EPISODE 10: Are Cats Truly Complicated?
In this episode, we'll explore how society often labels cats as complicated, aloof, or mean, and how these perceptions can shape the way we interact with our feline companions.

EPISODE 9: Women and Cats - Underestimated by Science
In this episode of "Heart, Cat and Soul," we delve into the intricate connections between women, cats, and the realm of science. Inspired by the book Doing Harm, which examines the historical marginalization of women in medical research and treatment, we explore parallels between this bias and the treatment of cats, both in veterinary medicine and cultural narratives.
Key Discussion Points:
Gender Bias in Medical Research: We discuss how women have been historically underrepresented in clinical trials, leading to gaps in medical knowledge and treatment efficacy for female patients.
Cultural Perceptions of Cats: We also delve into how cats, much like women in science, have faced marginalization and superstition throughout history. Despite their contributions, they have often been misunderstood or undervalued, reflecting broader societal biases.
Resources Mentioned:
Book Doing Harm: This insightful work delves into the biases women face in medical settings. You can purchase it on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Doing-Harm-Truth-About-Getting/dp/0062470809).

Join us in this episode as we uncover the shared narratives of women and cats, shedding light on the importance of recognizing and valuing contributions that have historically been overlooked.

EPISODE 3: Dealing with Cat Allergies
Cat Allergies are not only bad for the guardian, they are also bad for the cat because most times they end up abandoned in shelters because we are left with few alternatives and poor resources to deal with allergies.
This is not a justification but a reality and I hope this episode bring some light in the matter

EPISODE 1: Why do we perceive cats the way we do?
To kick off this season, I believe it's important to establish how cats became a part of our lives and why they've been more successful companions than other animals.
I'll share a bit of my own story as an example to challenge the common misconceptions about cats—often labeled as aloof, independent, and self-serving.
These perceptions are partially shaped by historical views. It's time to rethink these beliefs and open ourselves to the best possible relationship with our cats.
