If you've ever found yourself reacting to your cat’s health issues—rushing to the vet after symptoms show up—this episode is for you. I sat down with the one and only Pam Roussell, holistic health junkie and founder of Purrrfectly Holistic, to talk about how cat parents can finally stop playing symptom whack-a-mole and start taking a proactive approach to feline wellness.
This episode is packed with wisdom, stories (including some about Mia, Niko, and Milo), and simple tips to help your cat thrive—not just survive.
🐾 What We Talked About:
Why so many cat parents stay stuck in the “treat the symptom” cycle
The #1 question you should ask when your cat is having ongoing issues
What “proactive cat care” actually looks like in real life
How to spot when your cat isn’t truly thriving (even if they “seem fine”)
New diagnostic tools you can do from home 🧪
Why symptoms are actually your cat’s best ally
Pam’s holistic journey from fitness trainer to feline wellness expert
