From Broadway Dreams to Cat Trivia: Micala Henson Takes on Pet Candy's "Cat Daddy”
When Micala Henson swapped musical theatre for veterinary medicine, she probably didn't imagine she'd one day be facing off against two cat-obsessed comedians in a battle of feline knowledge. But that's exactly where this week's episode of Pet Candy's new gameshow "Cat Daddy" finds her—and honestly, we couldn't be more excited about it.
What Is "Cat Daddy" Anyway?
If you haven't caught an episode yet, here's the premise: hosts Caitlin and Clay Palmer, two self-proclaimed "crazy cat lover comedians," invite guests to test their cat knowledge in the most entertaining way possible. Think rapid-fire trivia, hilarious challenges, and enough cat facts to make even the most devoted ailurophile's head spin.
The Palmers bring their signature comedic energy to every episode, turning what could be a straightforward quiz show into something genuinely fun to watch. They're not just testing knowledge—they're celebrating the quirky, wonderful world of cats and the people who love them.
Enter Micala Henson: Veterinary Student Extraordinaire
This week's guest is no ordinary cat enthusiast. Micala Henson comes to the "Cat Daddy" stage with quite the resume. She's a soon-to-be veterinarian, military spouse, mother of three, and someone who literally worked her way up from kennel assistant to vet school candidate.
Oh, and she used to be a musical theatre performer. So she's got the stage presence thing down.
"I went from center stage to cattle calls—literally," Micala jokes about her career transformation. After leaving the theatre world, she found her true calling at a veterinary clinic, where she started as a kennel assistant and never looked back.
The Ultimate Test: Does Vet School Trump Comedy?
Here's where things get interesting. On paper, Micala should have this in the bag, right? She's spent years working in animal shelters, humane societies, and private clinics. She's pursuing a veterinary degree with plans to serve rural and underserved communities. She's essentially dedicated her life to animals.
But Caitlin and Clay Palmer aren't your average cat parents. They're comedians who have turned their feline obsession into comedy gold, and they know their stuff. Plus, they wrote the questions.
The real question isn't whether Micala knows her cat facts—it's whether her clinical knowledge can compete with the Palmers' encyclopedic knowledge of internet cat memes, bizarre feline behaviors, and that very specific brand of cat trivia that only true enthusiasts possess.
Why This Matchup Works
What makes this episode particularly fun is the contrast in perspectives. Micala brings the science—she understands feline anatomy, behavior, and health from a medical standpoint. The Palmers bring the culture—they live and breathe the internet's cat obsession and know every viral cat video by heart.
It's book smarts versus street smarts, except the streets are lined with cardboard boxes that cats inexplicably love to sit in.
Micala's journey from theatre to veterinary medicine also adds an extra layer of entertainment. She's someone who understands performance and knows how to work a room, which means she's not just answering questions—she's playing the game with personality and charm.
More Than Just Trivia
What Pet Candy has created with "Cat Daddy" is more than just a gameshow. It's a celebration of cat culture and the diverse community of people who love these mysterious, independent, occasionally infuriating creatures.
Whether you're a veterinary professional like Micala, a devoted cat parent like the Palmers, or someone who just appreciates a good cat video at 2 AM, there's something in this show for you.
And let's be honest—in a world that can feel pretty heavy sometimes, watching passionate people compete over cat trivia while celebrating their shared love of felines is exactly the kind of wholesome content we need.
