Dr Cathy Bezuidenhout has a full house: a husband, two teenagers and a menagerie – three of her own dogs, a foster dog, a cat, two cockatiels, an aviary with various birds and Zuma, her rooster. Dr Cathy has a horse, Dancer, that she rescued – she says he is an amazing darling horse and most of her spare time (and money) is spent on him. Dr Cathy loves spending time with her family and plays the guitar and read if there is any time left.

Dr Luke Michaelides is a versatile veterinarian, having worked all over the country with all kinds of animals – from doing my masters with white rhinoceros in the Kruger National Park, working with lions and elephants in KZN, working for an animal welfare organisation along the west coast, to working at VetPoint in Cape Town. When not working, Dr Luke spends his time birdwatching, hiking, running, watching sport or playing golf.

Dr Andrea Lau is a tea-drinking, pineapple-on-pizza person. She is rarely still, as she thrives on being busy. Dr Andrea gets her daily dose of oxytocin from a variety of pursuits, including gym workouts, hiking, scuba diving, yoga, swimming in the ocean, or relaxing on the beach. When she’s not enjoying the outdoors, Dr Andrea loves exploring new foods, reading, or playing Sims.
