    On this episode of Cattitude, Michelle Fern sits down with author G. David Stirling, creator of the wildly imaginative Cat Detective Series, including The Cat That Chased Cadillacs and The Cat That Followed Phantoms. His feline hero, Buck, is a black-cat detective with a secret agency beneath a backyard shed, solving crimes right under the nose of his human — the town’s only detective — who has no idea his cat is the real brains on the case! David shares how his real-life black cat, Panther, inspired the character, the surprising depth of feline intelligence and behavior woven into his mysteries, and why these books celebrate black cats instead of stereotyping them. If you love crime novels, fantasy, cozy mysteries, or simply adore cats with big personalities, this episode is a must-listen.

    Cattitude - Episode 281 Toby, Gus & Me: Choosing a Life Plus Cats with Rebecca van Laer
    2025/10/15
    This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern chats with writer and critic Rebecca van Laer about her debut memoir, Cat. Van Laer explores how our lives with cats reshape the wild we’ve tried to domesticate—what “tame,” “neuter,” and “indoors” say about nature and about us. She shares why she chose a life plus cats (not kids), and how “undomesticating” herself alongside her senior companions Toby and Gus reframed love, work, and family. From cats’ mysteriously divine histories to millennial burnout in a content-marketing grind, maternal fault lines, and the radical permission in feline laziness and pleasure, Rebecca’s reflections purr with humor and honesty—right down to Gus’s opinion: “I don’t want to be famous…I just want to go to the basement.”
