We're back after a loooong hiatus! Thanks for tuning back in!

To celebrate our return, we're doing a series of Profiles of Childfree Lifestyles. We're interviewing a number of awesome childfree people, starting with Jared H. who is the founder of the Best Childfree Life Possible Facebook group and the Childfree Convention! Teresa and Jared H. talk about what it means to be childfree, his journey, what the lifestyle means to him, and why his "kids" (i.e., the group and convention) are so important.

Jared H's socials are:
Instagram - @bestchildfree
YouTube - www.youtube.com/c/childfreeconvention
Website - www.childfreeconvention.com

Don't miss out on the two-day Childfree Convention extravaganza July 30th and 31st. Best of all, it's free!

What's the deal with fanfiction always focusing on characters having babies?! Can't they come up with something besides the old "make 'em pregnant" card? We decide to spice up some of the uh.. more interesting fanfics we found and make them into Mad Libs. Listen as we take some of the weirdest stories and make them even stranger as we explore the wild and wacky world of Harry Potter, Malcolm in the Middle, and Grease fanfiction.

Covid may be a relief to some people, since they have an excuse to NOT visit friends and family for the holidays and will be able to avoid their intrusive questions like, "when are you settling down and having kids?!" (spoiler alert: NEVER!) But for some of you, you're not so lucky! We read some face-palming, jaw-dropping advice columns where some people just don't know how to mind their own business! Plus, we discuss some advice and tactics you can use if you have to endure a familial interrogation in person (or via Zoom?). It may be the holiday season, but we ain't home for the holidays this year!

Our Cat(s) of the Week are Tali and Denali from Germany! See their adorable pics on our instagram. Send yours into catsoverkids@gmail.com.

It's our anniversary! Live vicariously through some of our anniversary celebrations over the years since we're all stuck at home anyway. Great deals with strings attached await you in Mexico! Feel a little schadenfreude-y at some excruciatingly embarrassing stories from Scotland that will have you cringing! Who are those awkward Americans? Why, it's us!

Plus, what's it like dating as a childfree person in this day and age? We don't know, but some people do, so we share some red flag stories and discuss the difficulties of finding trustworthy partners who aren't hiding secret children. Jared's story about a past coworker might have you cringing or laughing -- depending on your sense of humor.

Our Cat of the Week is our dear, departed Cupcake who left for the Rainbow Bridge in May 2018 -- see her cute pics on our instagram and submit your kitty for a future episode!

Desperate to go travel, Jared and Teresa briefly relive some Vegas memories then scoured reviews for some of the best angry parent reviews for Sin City. What are some people complaining about when the naughtiest, booziest city in the world isn't catering to their kids? And, the top five countdown points out some of the most adult-friendly destinations we all wish we could go to.

Cats Over Kids will be taking a couple weeks off while they take care of a sick kitty recently diagnosed with cancer but will be back soon!
