The CatsCast logo, with text: Match.Cat, written by Ember Randall, narrated by Laura Pearlman. "They say cats have nine lives, but that’s not quite right. Nine is more of an average--in reality, you get as many as Death gives you, which means it behooves any sensible cat to suck up while they can."

Um. If you're wondering why a random cat podcast suddenly followed you today, it's because a cat walked across our keyboard. Yeah, that's it. It certainly wasn't because our editor thought she was going through her own followers list and "following back" while logged in to the CatsCast account.
