Marking this landmark the aim is to raise awareness of the great cat welfare given, and millions of cats saved, rehabilitated, and re-homed.\n\nTo celebrate this historic occasion, Battersea will mark it the only way they know how – by giving our feline friends the love we all know they deserve. Hazel and Brydie explain that over the next weeks and months, Battersea will share fur-filled stories of hope and happiness from their 140-year journey together, with a raft of stories and how they’ll be here for cats and their owners now and in the future.\nWe chat about the differences between cats and dogs, the fact cats haven’t been studied as much as dogs and why just as with their dogs, great care is taken in placing cats in the new homes. Many are re-homed on farms as their prey drives are better suited to a life of rat and mouse extinction. \n\nBut most of all this special anniversary is celebrating their pure unbridled cattitude and the incredible bond that we share.\nVisit battersea.org.uk and follow on Instagram\nIf you love A Dog's Life and would like to help support the show why not become a Patreon backer where you can also have access to some exclusive content.\nIf you want to move your dog to a raw diet or even switch brands we wholly recommend Paleo Ridge\nFor more about Anna go to annawebb.co.uk\nMusic and production by Mike Hanson for Pod People Productions\nCover art by Jaijo\nCover photo by Rhian Ap Gruffydd at Gruff Pawtraits\nAdvertising and sponsorship opportunities info@theloniouspunkproductions.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SLgeoUx3m9MB_RyxU7hOAH3XgMYI3irXhI3IU-hm-L0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNzNi/ZjA4Y2U4NDkzMGZk/MzI3NTI5MDFhZDgy/MDk2ZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
