My most recent Fireside C(h)ats guest, the veterinarian and cat welfare researcher Morgane Van Belle, was the recipient of the prestigious iCatCare Welfare Research Award (2025) for her work on intercat communication.

As households increasingly include more than one cat, and cats have to interact with one another in shelters, it is important to understand how cats communicate with one another and how we can make their lives the best they can be.
