On episode ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO of The Purrrcast, Sara and Steven take a look back at the biggest cat stories of 2017 with comedians Georgea Brooks and Blake Wexler (Ya Booze, Ya News). Georgea also updates us from her previous episode on her cats Jojo and Saige, we learn how cat hair was used as evidence in a bombing threat, we finally answer the question, “Are cats smarter than dogs?,” and more! The Purrrcast, talking to cat people because we can't talk to their cats.  The Purrrcast is the cat podcast for you and your feline friends. Based in Los Angeles, hosts Sara Iyer and Steven Ray Morris chat with fellow cat enthusiasts about the furry little creatures they love. Not sure how the cats feel about it though.
