Fluffball's Heart Murmur Vanishes & the Heatwave Panic Attack Theory

At 34:55 · chapter starts 34:25

The post-Father's Day resolution: Fluffball went to a heart specialist on Tuesday and the murmur had completely disappeared. The specialist could find nothing wrong with her heart. The working hypothesis is that the heatwave caused Fluffball to have a panic attack — a diagnosis the vets admit they can't fully explain but seems the most plausible cause. Rob is delighted by the idea of a cat having a panic attack and wonders if she's caught it from Josh. It's a neat resolution to the wildest 72-hour pet emergency story the show has ever produced.
