Now, let's read and relax. Find a comfortable spot. Adjust your volume. Take a nice deep breath in. Let it out slowly. And off we go.

Tonight we're relaxing with a request from one of our very youngest listeners at seven years old.

And what she's requested is pretty perfect for this podcast.

Because if you've ever looked at our logo,

you'll see a cat, a subject about which I've never read. So Robin, this one's for you. Tonight we're relaxing with our

cats and all about them, their varieties, habits and management, and for show.
