This is Purrcast number 32 with special guest Windup. Once again asked to cat sit for a friend and as a value added feature I chased the cat around with a microphone for your enjoyment. Windup was found on the streets of Baltimore, was briefly at a shelter and then adopted by their original finder. There are many wonderful cats like Windup available for the adopting or fostering through your local shelter.
Thank you for listening to Purrcast.

This is Purrcast number 31 with the purring sound of Piglet. Despite being our second oldest cat, Piglet is the perpetual kitten of the household. That’s not because of his personality, his attitude is that of a grumpy old man. It’s partially his looks, the round face and disheveled fluffy fur, and partially because he was Justin and Amy’s first cat as a couple. Found as a sick kitten on the mean streets of Baltimore, he offset the grumpiness with typical kitten cuteness and impressive ear floofs, convincing us that he was worth both thousands of dollars in vet bills and a loving home despite his tendency to act like a jerk.
One surprising thing about Piglet is that he doesn’t mind most of the foster cats that come through the Purrcast World Headquarters. He may not be happy about them, but as long as no one runs across his head or jumps on him, he isn’t too concerned about who is staying in the guest room.
Piglet is probably our the most prolific of our podcasting purr-ers. He purrs for meals, for nip, for lap times, and bedtime. Bedtime is when he really shows off his purring skills. He sinks into the blankets and turns on the purrs, a steady rumbling with occasional deeper inhales and exhalations of contentment. On top of those he layers a little trill that is probably a result of his permanently stuffed up head. The whole performance can be hypnotic, and produces great audio for ASMR enthusiasts who like a little variety in their purring soundtracks.
As a former street cat, Piglet would like to make sure everyone knows about the Kickstarter campaign for Tuna and the Acrocats. This mobile cat circus/cat band/cat fostering group is in need of a new tour bus so they can thrill and amaze audiences across America while helping place needy cats and kittens in new homes. Their fundraiser is in its last week, so check out their page, pitch in if you’re able, and please spread the word!

This is Fatty’s morning feed me breakfast purr. The latest school of thought is that there is no canonical lexicon of cat meows, every cat has their own language with their owner that they both made up. It’s like a mutual training or an idioglossia, the language made up by twins. Fatty’s brother spoke with nuance of inflection and trills. Fatty has one word that he uses repeatedly until he gets what he wants. I think he learned to meow from listening to the cadence of the alarm clock. I sometimes try to push the snooze button on his head to make him stop in the mornings. Just like Simon’s Cat Wake Up
You can keep Fatty and the rest of purrcast flush with treats by supporting our patreon.com/purrcast campaign. Patreon is a service where you can be a patron of an artist by pledging money per month or per work. Purrcast loves all of our fans.

This is the first audio feature with Momcat Lady Jean Grey Kranz. She came to purrcast with kittens as a foster named Marine which was shortened to just Momcat. Her kittens were easily adopted. We kept her for a little while longer to try and socialize her because we feared her very vocal growling and stubborn ways would get her returned by a timid adopter. A year later it became clear that we had “foster failed” and as a birthday present she was adopted and renamed.
The foster program jokingly called her a Chesapeake Blue because of her silver blue fur and lack of pedigree. Amy wanted to call her Jean Grey after the X-men character and I extended the name to Jean Grey Krantz after NASA flight director Gene Kranz. She still growls if you look at her wrong but the tough street cat has softened and her ever curious nature finds her on top of the cabinets and having fun playing with our friends 4 year old marauding about pillow forts.
Purrcast is run by donations to our Patreon campaign at http://patreon.com/purrcast. As little as dollar a month gets you the super mega extended mix and other fun extras.
Thank you for listening.
