This has been purrcast number 24 showcasing the purring of Pig.
Purrcast would like to say hi to some friends. First up is the Amazing Acro-Cats, the trained cat show and rock band. Purrcast human producer Justin did sound for them in Baltimore and introduced to the high reward @tunathecat to specialty cooked chicken livers from Parts and Labor. The Amazing Acro-Cats helped raise money for the local shelters while visiting Baltimore as well as found new forever homes for the tour foster kittens. http://circuscats.com/
We would also like to give a meow out to the new cats in town The Purrrcast. The Purrrcast spelled with 3 R’s is a podcast about cats by the humans Sara Iyer and Steven Ray Morris. Every week they talk about cats with guest friends. Look for them where ever you get podcasts.
If you like the cats purring, please consider patronage through patreon.com/purrcast. A few dollars a month buys many treats for the cats. The cats like treats and will purr making everyone happy. Do it for the kitties.
Thank you for listening to the original purrcast.

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.

This is a special edition of Purrcast. Fatty back in February was diagnosed with a reoccurrence of Feline Vaccine Associated Sarcoma (an aggressive, cancerous tumor) 2 years after having surgically remove the tumor. With gofundme and your help we easily raised money for a second surgery to amputate the affected leg to prevent the tumor from spreading. Fatty is happily still here and purring away. He has adjusted very well to being a tripod and has found ways to snuggle deeper into the cat bed with out that leg getting in the way.
Purrcast isn’t just a podcast, it is a multi platform experience. From our twitter page @purrcast we are going to be doing some Periscope popup recording sessions and showing how the podcast is edited and produced.
Original music in this episode was pulled from a youtube improvised recording of my midified toy squeeze box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-13zwBsZnE

Cappy and @alyssumpohl are big fans of Purrcast, especially Fatty so I set out to record Fatty for this weeks episode. Wilma and Fatty were snuggling together (they are poor weather friends who use each other for heat) so I pulled out a second microphone and went for a twofer. If you listen carefully Pig is snoring away in the background.
Thank you for listening to Purrcast.

Purrcast Episode 17 ft Pig.
Listening studiously to so many different cats purring you begin to develop an ear for different purring qualities. Having found Pig on the street as a kitten he always has had stuffy sinuses. You can really hear every breath through his nose, sometimes giving a little whistle.
One of the Purrcast Patreon extras is a short recording of Pig Snoring. Right now we are $1 per episode away from the Patreon milestone goal of giving 1/3 of the Patreon money raised to a local (To Baltimore) animal charity. Do it for the kitties!
