Speaker 6 (0:00) This bonus episode is brought to you by Arm & Hammer Cat Litter. We love a little extra bonus. Especially when it's about our cats. I could talk about my cat for two hours. I could do a full TED Talk. No, literally. She's stunning. She's gorgeous. She's a model. She knows she's pretty. Do you know how crazy I am about cats? Besides making everyone adopt them Speaker 5 (0:17) around me, Speaker 6 (0:18) I know what Speaker 5 (0:18) kind of cats everyone likes. So like when I see a cute cat, I go, wait, but which person would prefer this cat for me to send it to? So like I do have a ton of... like um rag doll cats on my feet because i send you all them and then i have tuxedo cats for grace and then for my mom's cats i have orange cats so i have so many cats in my algorithm of all shapes sizes colors dated with Speaker 6 (0:40) cats and i'm curating the perfect cat meme for everyone it's exhausting but it's the life i chose each one has a unique personality when you're meeting a dog it's like you know they're going to be excited you can generally suss out what their personality is Cats are so different, and especially when you have people over. Like, Butter doesn't... Butter's not into it. She's not socializing. She's not small-talking with Speaker 5 (1:05) you. Particularly if a man comes in her direction, she doesn't want to hear, see, she's hissing. A woman, she'll give a chance. Yeah. There were teenage boys. She was like, I'm calling the police. There's so many nuances of funny things cats do. Like, does your cat ever use the litter and then just decide to sprint around? Yeah, like gets the zoomies. Why do they do that after? I think because they're Speaker 6 (1:26) like, oh, I'm so skinny. Speaker 6 (1:30) I like to think that Daphne's like, hit my goal weight after that one. I'm not weighed down anymore. Let's go. Let's party. Let's get out of Speaker 4 (1:37) here. Speaker 6 (1:38) And then they're like, whew, that was a good run. You know another thing people don't talk about in terms of like cats and dogs? You get a dog, you get a puppy, you're training that puppy. Hey, this is grass, this is outside, this is where we go. You get a cat and you're like, hey, there's the litter box. And they're like, cool, thanks for the heads up. Thanks. You don't Speaker 5 (1:54) have Speaker 6 (1:54) to talk about it anymore. That's what I do. And that's all you talk about it with them. That's so much smarter, like, than a child. Speaker 5 (2:01) You have a long, you have to probably train your cat. Speaker 6 (2:05) Your cat is, like, perfect. I looked up one time, like, what is Daphne, not Daphne specifically, but, like, what is, what are rag dolls, like, brain capacity? And someone was, like, three years old. And Speaker 4 (2:16) I was, like, yeah, I have a three Speaker 6 (2:17) -year-old daughter who loves getting brushed. Speaker 5 (2:21) I do have Speaker 4 (2:21) to Speaker 5 (2:21) say, I've gotten people so close to the point of adopting cats to them. They go, but I have a really small, small apartment. I can't have it smelly. Yeah. I Speaker 6 (2:29) was one of those people. You were. I was one of those people that was like, I'm not having an odor in my apartment. I'm not having like a litter box. Speaker 5 (2:37) Arm and hammer cat litters job is to make sure that after the cat goes to the bathroom, the apartment does not smell. Cats actually can be a huge part of hosting. Whether your cat likes to be around guests like Daphne, who likes to sit atop the stairs and watch everyone below her because she's like, look at all these ugly people. Speaker 6 (2:57) She literally does act like it's 1456 and she lives in England and she's the queen and she's like, I don't remember inviting them over. Speaker 5 (3:05) Your apartment smells so Speaker 6 (3:07) good. Like you would never know. The odor is nice. That a cat lives there. Okay, so we asked some gigglers to send in stories about crazy things that their cat has done whilst hosting, while people are around. So we're going to listen to some of them. And make some comments. Yeah, and hear what other crazy cats are doing. Speaker 1 (3:25) Hi Paige! Hi Hannah! So my kitty's name is Margarita.
