Author name: Brandy Arnold

Like most animal lovers, Brandy's love for our non-human friends began at an early age, when she brought home every stray cat and dog (and even a few wild animals) that she could find. But it was in her early twenties, while volunteering for an animal shelter, that Brandy realized her true passion for animal advocacy. Seeking to build stronger bonds with her own pets, she studied animal behavior and cognition through Duke University and enrolled in dozens of animal training courses. These studies further confirmed what Brandy already knew, that cats are sentient beings, capable of feeling and showing love. That they thrive on companionship, and that they need more than just food and water to be happy. When it comes to caring for cats, she's passionate about nutrition, enrichment, and safety. Her scholarly pursuit of understanding our non-human friends underscores her deep-rooted love for all things wild and domestic. At home, Brandy's life is filled with the companionship of two Golden retrievers whose loyalty is only matched by the sass of a certain calico named Betty, the true ruler of the roost. Even Gene Swimmons, her Betta fish, knows who runs the show. Brandy's travels often lead her to mountains, rivers, and forests, where hiking and kayaking are her outlets for adventure.
