The Joy of Cats: Stories about our feline friends

This week, for National Pet Parents day, we bring you two stories of our relationships with our cats.

Part 1:  In a battle over her apartment's air quality, cat foster mom Tracy Rowland discovers how to use her kitten's parasite as a weapon. 

Part 2: Gianmarco Soresi learns more about cats than he ever wanted to when his girlfriend adopts five.

She won a local Emmy in  2010, but her mom still thinks it was the regular kind.  Check out more at www.tracyrowland.com.
