Vet tech Michelle Badeaux takes the Cat Daddy challenge

Vet Candy’s Pet Candy Radio has published a new Cat Daddy episode featuring Michelle Badeaux, a veterinary technician “by day” and baker “by night,” in a feline trivia showdown hosted by Clay and Caitlin Palmer. The episode, highlighted on Pet Candy’s Zoetis tag page on December 15, 2025, frames Badeaux as a clinically experienced cat professional testing whether hands-on feline knowledge translates into game-show trivia success. Vet Candy’s broader programming positions Caitlin Palmer and her husband Clay as recurring hosts of veterinary entertainment and education content, with Cat Daddy sitting alongside other quiz-style shows in the company’s podcast lineup.

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, this is lighter fare than a clinical or regulatory update, but it still says something about where veterinary media is headed. Quiz and personality-driven formats are increasingly being used to keep veterinary teams engaged, spotlight technicians, and make feline medicine more approachable for both professionals and pet parents. The episode also appears in a sponsored ecosystem tied to Zoetis and Solensia, underscoring how animal health brands continue to back veterinary-adjacent media that blends education, entertainment, and cat-focused awareness.
