Hi, I’m Jackson Galaxy AKA The Cat Daddy. Welcome to my channel, the home of everything that is unbelievably amazing about your cat. I’m the host and Executive Producer of Animal Planet ‘s "My Cat From Hell." Don’t let the name fool you, though - I’m here to challenge every negative stereotype you’ve ever heard about cats - and the people who love them.
I was a working musician who took a job in a shelter, developed something I call Cat Mojo, and I’ve spent over 25 years preaching it everywhere - in houses like yours, in classrooms, on stages around the world, on TV, in the middle of the street - and right here.
I also write books! "Total Cat Mojo,” Cat Daddy,” and the New York Times Bestsellers "Catification" and “Catify to Satisfy.”
Please check out JacksonGalaxyProject.org to learn more about helping cats everywhere.

When my 19-year-old was a kitten, she would suck my earlobe and make biscuits on my chest while she purred her little head off. We have a very strong bond; I am and have always been Mom to her, even though u has other family living with me when I got her. She still cries when I leave the house. My mom tells me she cries for me until I come home. Fortunately (in this case) I don’t leave the house a lot due to disability. I also have major depression and anxiety, and she helps so very much with my emotional health. ❤❤❤
my cat does it too. the worst part? i sleep on those stuffed animals. they’re squishmallows so they’re essentially like pillows and i just cry “i sleep on that!!” every time i catch him lol
Piffle - All of the orange cats I have ever known & had have been overwhelmingly loving, purr monsters, snuggly, and absolutely perfect gentlemen 😻. Nothing beats a good ol' orange kitty boy❣️
Maybe the animal wants a treat or some food and he proceeds to imagine it while chewing. Something similar to what we do when we think about food and start salivating thinking how the food would taste.
I have a beautiful sweet tortoiseshell tabby girl named Lucy, she came onto my patio and adopted my mini house panther boy Pippin and me..and she is a sweetheart
That was good composure that cat really got you probably scares though. To be honest I think he likes your singing seem to be the one thing to soothe the cat.
I've set all of the "deluxe" things for my new 9 year old cat. He's not interested in any if it. He's taken to sitting on the stairs and guarding them so when I go past him on the stairs he hisses at me. He is clearly scared of me and is keeping himself isolated away from where I am in the house. Everytime I try to pet him he hisses or swipes me with his nailed paw. I'm not enjoying having him. 😢
So... Basically every tip you see everywhere that never work. Cats are cats, i have two brothers one is a angel and the other is satan himself. Both under the same enveryoment yet one is cute and cuddly and the other wants to rip my limbs off.
I’m so sorry to hear about Caroline. There is nothing so difficult than losing our furbabies. We DO KNOW when they are close to their end of life. Any one who actually pays attention to their beloved pet. It just amazes me how few people I have met that seem to pay attention. THATS why the sharing you do with us is so important, Jackson. Because you educate people on the importance of paying attention to their furkids. FOR THEIR SAKES! Even through your pain, you were teaching us the importance of watching, and communicating with our furbabies. I’m so sorry for your loss. Been there so many times myself. I feel your pain. My thoughts are with you.🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
I miss my cat so much....he died in 2019 at only 6yr old .....❤ ....I'm blessed to have another two furbabies whom i adore....but that cat was super special and he will stay in my heart and mind forever ♥️
What is humping? I just adopted two cats 6 month old (were desexed at 3 months) from the shelter. Now they are 11 months and I noticed the male does this to the female usually once a day around nap time in the evening and they are siblings 😅 I think I’m gonna message the shelter and ask what this behavior is… how to deter it. Pleaseeeee help me galaxy what’s going on?!!! I thought his nuts were snipped early and this wouldn’t happen! 😅
Yeap, my little bubba has a pound purry kitten that is his 'special' friend. That girl travels around the house, but I still feel bad for him (he's 3 times it's size) 😅
My poor girl penny is recovering from her spay and for the First time Ever growled at me in the morning before her breakfast, I put her pain relief in her food and she’s back to happy chilled cat almost as soon as she ate her food. Vets happy with her progress and I’m excited to let her out in her catio when she’s fully healed 🤞
He could be what breeders call a "pleaser". They're a neutered boy who still likes to do the deed w/ the girls. They're worth their weight in gold to a breeder, bc the "deed" takes the girls out of heat, but bc he's neutered, there won't be any kittens. She should hire him out...
My previous boy did the same thing with fleece blankets, mostly the ones we were currently using. He combined it with aggressive smurgling and if you tried to move him, he'd throw a fit 😂
I'm autistic and have always related to cats for these exact reasons. The hypersensitivity, the tendency to get overstimulated, the need for routine and personal space, and the difficulty trusting someone until I get to know them are all autistic traits. It's easier for me to make friends with other autistic people because there's less of a communication barrier, just as it's been easier for me to bond with cats because I feel we can understand each other.
