Best Cat Whisperer

Michelle Oliveri, Austin Vet Care

Michelle Oliveri talks to cats – and listens to them, too. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in Austin who better understands and explains feline behavior, which can be – err – quirky at times. There's good reason for Oliveri's expertise. Not only does this vet tech work at Austin Vet Care at Central Park, but she also has nine cats of her own. For reals: nine. And to top it off, those were all bottle babies. Needless to say, she's put a lot of time and effort into figuring out exactly what our purr-y friends are trying to tell us. And we're glad she has. Meow.
