Think you know how to play with your cat? 🐾 You might be surprised! In this episode, I chat with cat behaviorist Dr. Mikel Delgado, author of the new book Play With Your Cat, all about the right way to play — and why it’s one of the most important things you can do for your cat’s physical and mental health.

We talk about the science behind play, how it mimics hunting, why so many cats “lose interest” (and how to fix that!), plus Mikel’s favorite “power moves” and strategies for making playtime more enriching, effective, and fun. If you want to build a better bond with your cat through interactive play, this episode is a must-listen.
