Season 6 of AnimalZone explores in depth the relationship between humans and our four-footed friends. Each episode’s goal of this season is to educate, entertain and inspire viewers about rescue animals and the wildlife we share the planet with.
Season 6, Episode 1
This first episode of Season 6 features Dr. Paul Koudounaris’s new book about cats entitled A Cat’s Tale, A Journey Through Feline History. With the help of his rescue cat Baba the Cat, his book is a fascinating odyssey through the highs and lows that cats have experienced since the days of ancient Egypt. 3,000 years ago, mistreating or even making fun of cats in Egypt carried the penalty of death! We also hear some wonderful stories about cats that show they can be as loyal and faithful to humans as dogs but rarely get the credit. There are true stories, such as when a cat had been on a ship with its crew to control the rodents. At the port, the cat went ashore but then missed the boat when it departed. The cat somehow caught up with the crew and the boat in another port in a different country! We also learn about a feral cat called Room 8 who walked into an elementary school in Echo Park one day and captured the hearts of the students. Room 8 stayed with the students for 15 years each year, finding new students to bond with. When he passed, students and alumni raised enough funds to buy a large memorial headstone for Room 8 who now rests at the Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park in Calabasas.
