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!

This recording is from our foster cat Twinkle’s first night with us. She was a street cat that has a rakish clipped ear from a tag and release program. She had a bad case of mites which had spread to the rest of her head which was scabby and awful looking. As you can hear from the purring she was ecstatic to be getting love, food and shelter (she prefers love). After recovering from an upper respiratory infection she is purring even louder and deeper when she isn’t acting the fool like any 1 year old kitten should. Purrcast will have her back on as a guest soon to compare recordings.
If you like cats and Purrcast consider donating to us through our patreon http://www.patreon.com/purrcast. Patreon lets us say thanks and present little extras to our supporters. Having our cats pay their own room and board by being on a podcast would be living the dream.

This is the contented nursing purr from our newest foster cat Ollie Mollie and some smackey sounds from her kittens. Sadly, Ollie Mollie was sick through her pregnancy and the kittens failed to thrive and didn’t make it. We are very sad and want to honor them with the relaunch of the podcast. Olly Molly is recuperating but will be up for adoption soon. (adopted by a friend of ours!) If you would like to help you can foster or adopt at your local shelters or donate to charities like The Franky Fund for critical medical treatment for injured or ill animals at Baltimore City shelters. It all makes a difference in the world.
