Diary of a Cat Mom

Then my rescue cats taught me something I never expected.From anxious vet visits to caring for injured community cats and saying goodbye to my beloved Russian Blue, Sheiba, I slowly realized that cats don't always purr because they're content. Sometimes they purr to comfort themselves during stressful, unfamiliar, or painful moments.In this episode of the Diary of a Cat Mom podcast, I share the experiences that completely changed how I understand one of the most familiar sounds our cats make.You'll Hear In This Cat Podcast Episode  The vet visit that changed how I viewed purring  Why my anxious rescue cat Snow White surprised me  What an injured community cat taught me  My final lesson from my beloved Russian Blue, Sheiba  How I now interpret my cats' purring differentlyTimestamps & Chapters00:00 Is My Cat Purring Out of Stress? 00:35 Snow White's surprising vet visit 01:25 I thought it was only Snow White... 01:45 The injured community cat changed my mind 03:05 Sheiba's final lesson about purring 03:50 Purring isn't always happiness 04:30 The EndThis is where I’ve gathered everything that supports me and my cats:https://diaryofacatmom.com/cat-care-resources/About the Diary of a Cat Mom PodcastDiary of a Cat Mom is a quiet, personal cat podcast created by Dagmar Gatell, sharing real moments, emotions, and experiences from life with cats.This space is meant for connection, comfort, and companionship.

What do you do when your cat starts urinating everywhere—and nothing seems to help?In this episode of the Diary of a Cat Mom podcast, I share the story of Peekaboo, a rescue cat who developed severe inappropriate urination. After medical causes had been ruled out, my friend became emotionally overwhelmed and asked for help.When Peekaboo came to live with me, I quickly discovered how physically and emotionally exhausting constant cleaning, washing, and uncertainty could become. The experience taught me an unexpected lesson: sometimes we cannot change our cats, but we can change how we respond.By learning to regulate my nervous system and my own emotions, observing Peekaboo's cat behavior without frustration, and creating an environment where she felt safer, I eventually saw meaningful improvements.This isn't a medical guide. It's a personal cat mom story about caregiving, patience, observation, and creating a better life for both cats and the cat parents who love them.You'll Hear In This Cat Podcast Episode  Why Peekaboo came to live with me  How constant cleaning affected my emotions  The realization that changed my perspective  Why creating a separate safe space helped Peekaboo  The importance of patience and observation  How caring for Peekaboo changed meTimestamps & Chapters (4:42)00:00 My Cat Urinates Everywhere 00:34 Why Peekaboo Came to Live With Me 01:27 When I Started Feeling Overwhelmed 02:06 If I Cannot Change Her, I Need to Change 02:51 Learning to Regulate My Own Emotions 03:24 Discovering What Was Triggering Peekaboo 03:52 Creating Her Own Safe Space 04:20 What Peekaboo Ultimately Taught MeThis is where I’ve gathered everything that supports me and my cats:https://diaryofacatmom.com/cat-care-resources/About the Diary of a Cat Mom PodcastDiary of a Cat Mom is a quiet, personal cat podcast created by Dagmar Gatell, sharing real moments, emotions, and experiences from life with cats.This space is meant for connection, comfort, and companionship.
