Diary of a Cat Mom
Diary of a Cat Mom is a reflective cat podcast created and hosted by Dagmar Gatell about living in deeper awareness — with your cats, nature, and yourself.
Based on real experiences with over 50 cats cared for throughout her life, each episode shares quiet observations, emotional moments, and gentle insights from everyday life with cats. From daily routines and caregiving challenges to grief, gratitude, and the small, meaningful connections that often go unnoticed — this is not a how-to podcast, but a space for reflection shaped by lived experience.
Beyond life with cats, Dagmar also explores our connection to nature, personal awareness, and the ways our inner state influences the animals we care for. Because caring for cats is never just about them — it’s about how we show up, feel, and live alongside them.
Created for cat lovers who see their cats as family, this podcast offers companionship, perspective, and reassurance — especially during seasons of responsibility, change, and letting go.
Diary of a Cat Mom is a personal storytelling podcast and does not replace professional veterinary advice. Every cat is unique, and any health concerns should always be discussed with a trusted veterinarian.
You’re not alone on this journey.
We’re learning, loving, and growing together — one paw print at a time.
