It all began on a sunny day in Rio—yes, that Rio, the one with the stunning beaches and samba beats, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Dr. Susan Little and I were there giving lectures when it hit us—there was a serious need for better information about cats, their health, and feline medicine. Dr. Susan had already penned two books on the subject, and I had contributed various articles. There were also incredible global associations focused on cats, but it still wasn’t enough. The world needed another educational platform.
But first, we had to change hotel rooms (long story short: toilet explosion—don’t ask). We ended up in this amazing spot on Copacabana Beach, and it was there, in the heart of Rio, that we made a decision. We would start a podcast. So, we grabbed our gear and recorded the first three episodes right then and there.
And thus, the Purrpodcast was born—a podcast for veterinary healthcare professionals, all about cats. Fast forward seven years, and we’ve just released our 200th episode! Sponsored by Norbrook, this milestone episode features Dr. Thomas Schermerhorn discussing feline hyperthyroidism, the most common endocrine disorder in cats.
It’s been an incredible journey, and I couldn’t be prouder. Catch the episode here and enjoy it as much as I did!
