This week Rowan and Tracey discuss the links between cats and femininity; and the disastrous effects it’s had on women and pets. They explore the many stories surrounding the Sphinx, and take listeners through the history of cats and sexism. From historical suffragette memes, to modern expressionist theatre, as Robert Heinlein says, “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”
