Animal Party Episode 256 Monkeys, a Goat, and the Age of ‘Is This Even Real?’

It’s a full-on cat party in Deb Wolfe’s studio this week—three cats, one giant microphone, and a black kitty named Xena who literally announces herself (yes, Deb accidentally taught her the “Xena warrior yell,” and now she uses it like a doorbell). From there, Deb answers listener questions with a hilarious detour into the surprising perks of non-shedding dogs (more hugs, fewer “hair barbs” in your clothes), plus a fascinating look at whether mom and dad dogs recognize their grown puppies when they return home. Then it’s time for the episode’s quiz: what cat made it into the Guinness Book of World Records? (Spoiler: it involves wheels.) Deb wraps with wild animal news and a timely reminder about the internet: between AI videos and viral “sightings,” sometimes it’s hard to know what’s real—like the strange case of escaped monkeys… and a missing goat.
