2025 01 25 — Recording one of many purrs from the cats at Cowboy Cat Ranch. Here, five cats live together with Sebastiaan and Evelien, cat scientists and founders of the non-profit organization that has been helping cats through ethical research for more than a decade now. To accurately record these low frequency purrs, a specialized, high-quality microphone and recorder are needed.
The cat in the photograph below is Pumpkin, a 15-year-old tortoiseshell who was adopted from a shelter at age 7. The veterinarian at the shelter diagnosed her with heart disease, which is likely the reason she had been waiting for her forever home for more than 6 months! She has been with us for over 8 years now and has been happy and healthy all that time!
