Cats are masters at hiding signs of illness or pain. By the time they show symptoms, they’re often really sick.

Have you watched Cat People yet? This delightful six-part documentary series features people in different parts of the world who have dedicated their lives to cats, including our friends Samantha Martin and Sterling Davis.
