The Catmaste Chronicles Podcast


The Catmaste Chronicles will feature a collection of conversations from people who have inspirational stories to share. The main topic of the podcast is about well-being and how our beloved pets have contributed to our mental and physical wellness.

We have a variety of guests that come from all walks of life from coaches, personal trainers, yogi’s artists, cat daddies and mummies, who have such interesting stories to share. We created this podcast to give space and opportunity to people who are passionate about wellness and animals.

As a cat sitting company owner, my team and I know how much we get from doing this job with cats. It is literally the best job I have ever had and it comes with so many therapeutic benefits. We aren’t just caring for cats, they are also caring for us and showing us in their little unique ways and quirks. So we are interested in bringing together the topics of cats and well-being to see just how fitting they are together.

So whether you want to bring some wellness into your life or just love listening to stories about cats, the catmaste chronicles is for you.

This week Michelle speaks with Iona Allan, she is an Australian violinist and avid cat lover, who also happens to be one of our cat sitters at Chatty Cats Care. Iona moved to London 3 years ago to start a master's degree in music and has been performing and teaching violin. She grew up with a variety of animals in Australia including a bird, guinea pig, and finally, after many years of begging her mother, on her 14th birthday, she got her dream pet, a cat! Iona's beautiful cat Dusty was a rescue and in such poor condition her fur looked like it was covered in dust, hence the inspiration behind the name! She needed a lot of special attention and many vet trips as a kitten to get her healthy. When Iona has to leave Dusty with her mum to move to London it was one of the hardest things she has ever done. Sadly Dusty passed away just over a year ago when she was visiting back home. Iona's experience and love for cats made her an exceptional candidate for Chatty Cats Care and now she looks after our sweet Chatty Cats.
