Some cats shut down in shelters. Others hiss, swat, or go silent. But beneath the “spicy” label is almost always one thing—fear.

In this episode of Animal Posse, Dixie sits down with Berlin Waters of The Spicy Cat Project to break down why so many cats struggle in shelter environments, how fear is often mistaken for aggression, and what rescuers, fosters, and adopters can do to help stressed cats feel safe again.

This episode is essential for anyone working with cats—rescuers, fosters, adopters, or anyone who’s ever wondered why a sweet cat can suddenly seem “spicy.”

Rabbit bonding can be one of the most stressful experiences for any pet parent. When the "one-size-fits-all" checklists fail, how do you move forward?

In this episode, we sit down with Fiona Murphy, the founder of The Bunny Bonding Coach. As Ireland’s only professional rabbit bonder with over 500 successful bonds under her belt, Fiona brings a wealth of hands-on experience to the table. We discuss why some bonds get "stuck," how to read subtle bunny body language, and why personality—not just luck—is the key to a successful long-term partnership.

Whether you are adding a third rabbit to your trio or starting your very first bonding journey from scratch, Fiona’s insights will help you approach the process with confidence, patience, and calm.
