Sometimes cats come into your life and choose you. That was the case for Anna Webb’s cat Gremlin, who turned out to be a very special cat.

Last year, I chatted with Anna about how to make cats happy, and learned all about Gremlin and the things he got up to, as well as how he taught the dog in his chosen household to learn to live with a cat. Plus his ability to bring home gifts that sometimes caused an issue... 

Very sadly, Gremlin recently passed, and Anna has re-issued the interview in his memory.

You can listen to this very special Purrcast below or wherever you get your podcasts. It’s the only episode of A Dog’s Life dedicated solely to cats.

Many condolences to Anna on the loss of her beloved pet. Thank you for sharing all of these stories about him with me—he was the best cat.

Here’s to Gremlin!
