Why does your cat think 3 AM is the perfect time to wake you up? If your cat walks across your face, yowls down the hallway, or taps your cheek in the middle of the night, you're not alone. In this episode of Cat Talk Radio, host Molly DeVoss explains why cats interrupt our sleep — and what you can do to finally get a full night's rest. Cats are often described as crepuscular, meaning they're most active at dawn and dusk. But that doesn't mean they sleep peacefully all night. In fact, many of the nighttime wake-up calls come down to hunger, pent-up hunting energy, and routines that accidentally train cats to wake their humans.

Do cats think we're in charge—or do they think we're just really weird-looking cats? In this episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss and Dewey Vaughn dive into groundbreaking research by biologist John Bradshaw, author of Cat Sense, revealing that cats don't see humans as authority figures at all. Instead, they treat us as conspecifics—members of their own species. We break down the cat behaviors that support this theory, including slow blinking, head bunting, kneading, play aggression, and why cats don't "obey" commands the way dogs might. We also address modern dog training science, explaining why dominance-based models miss the mark—and why understanding your cat's evolutionary history is the key to better behavior, deeper trust, and a stronger bond.

This week on Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss, Certified Cat Behavior Specialist, and Dewey Vaughn dive into one of the hottest and most controversial emerging topics in veterinary medicine: GLP-1 weight-loss drugs for cats. With early studies like the MEOW-1 trial underway, some researchers hope these medications could help reverse obesity and even prevent diabetes — a condition that leads far too many cat guardians to choose euthanasia due to cost or treatment difficulty.
