Nancy's Bookshelf: A show for people who like cats with two guests named Sarah

With more than three decades of experience, renowned cat behavior scientist and author Dr. Sarah Brown has studied cat behavior and how cats use tail signals to interact with each other and their owners.

In her book, "The Hidden Language of Cats: How They Have Us at Meow," she explains how cats communicate with humans and other cats.

Also, children's book author and NSPR team member Sarah Downs tells us how we can help rescue cats locally.
