Comfort Creatures

This week Ella and Alexis are joined by the joy that is Gilli Nissim, writer, comedian and dog-mum to WILMA! One thing we know about CC guests- they're gonna name their pets well! We chat about Gilli's childhood dogs, the validation that comes from being the only one an animal likes and whether dogs really do help you on the pull (is that a very british phrase? What's the US equivalent?)

Is a cockroach a pet? What if it hisses and you can enter it in a derby race for a child's birthday? What about a little octopus? Perhaps something bigger like a llama? This week, Alexis tells a few stories about just a few of her childhood pets. Plus, Ella has some childhood pet strories of her own, though they primarily lived inside her mind. Plus, we have a top notch Ready Pet Go from Connor and Jack and some important kitten updates!

BREAKING NEWS: A top secret group of incredible animal advocates in full camouflage have snuck past the people of Scotland like James Bond and reintroduced some ADORABLE wildcats back into nature! Or that's the way we like to picture it, anyway. Ella gives us the full report this week! Plus, Crumb is having a rough week and Cricket is handling it the grossest way possible, We do a brief introduction to the most famous Mountain Lion in Hollywood, and we have a CAPTIVATING Ready Pet Go from Peter and Wally.

This week Ella and Alexis are joined by London based celebrity vet Dr Bolu Eso. Dr Bolu trained in Budapest, treated Jaguars in the jungle and loves bichon frise. He shares some insights into his day to day life as a vet, reveals what he wishes people knew about cats and deep dives into other big topics such as burn out and being a person of colour in the animal welfare world. We get serious and silly and we think you're going LOVE it- Dr B is a legend and we are big fans. Also he may have the best ever answer to our final question. Sorry previous guests. Dr B has you Dr Beat.
