I have a cat named Amy Winemeow. Before we saw this show, we had no idea how to stop her making frequent pitstops in various places around our house and biting when we play with her. This show has taught me how to use posititve reinforcement to train my cat to use good lifeskills! Thank you housecat housecall!!!

What Parents Need to Know
About Housecat Housecall
Parents need to know that this series shows examples of troublesome cat behavior like aggression, excessive licking (of humans, that is), and anger. While feline-loving families may pick up some helpful tips from the veterinarian host, the show tends to oversimplify both the cats' behavioral issues and the solutions, so viewers -- especially kids -- need to remember that there's no substitute for the firsthand advice of a trained animal expert. But from a content perspective, this show is age appropriate for virtually all viewers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk the cat owners' concerns. Do you relate to them? What kinds of issues do you face with your own pets? What have you done to try to fix their behavioral problems? Who do you go to for advice about your animals? Would you ever seek help from someone on television for a problem? Why or why not? What do you think the purpose/goal of this show is? How does entertainment affect the messages sent by an educational series?
