Comedian Russell Kane, Itchy ears and mischievous meerkats

Russell Kane chats to Anne-Marie & Rob about why it's important to train cats plus AM finds out about Learning with Horses and how they're helped by Children in Need.

Comedian and 'cat nerd' Russell Kane explains to Rob and Anne-Marie why he takes the training of his three cats, and pug, very seriously. From cat proofing the garden to teaching his pug Colin sign language, Russell is something of an expert when it comes to training animals.
Does your pet suffer from persistent itchy ears or has your dog damaged its cruciate ligament?
What happens when a meerkat is rejected by its mob? For Sammy the meerkat it meant a whole new life being the star attraction at Avon Valley adventure and wildlife park, teaching kids how to handle animals and giving the staff a boost on busy days!
Anne-Marie meets up with Susan and Shelagh to discuss their equine therapy project helping children and young adults across NI. The BHS ‘Learning with horses’ course helps young people who, for a variety of reasons, have become negative in their approach to education and life in general. The BHS Ireland provides those young people with a unique opportunity to learn through working with horses.
