Cat behaviorist and star of Animal Planet's hit show My Cat from Hell, Jackson Galaxy isn't what you might expect for a cat expert. Yet Galaxy's ability to connect with even the most troubled felines--not to mention the stressed-out humans living in their wake--is awe-inspiring. Here, Galaxy tells the poignant story of his thirteen-year relationship with a petite cat named Benny, and gives singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving the feline in your home. When Benny arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician with a part-time job at an animal shelter and a drug problem. Benny's previous owner brought the cat to the shelter, insisting he was "unbondable." This inspiring account of two broken beings who fixed each other is laced throughout with Galaxy's "Cat Mojo" advice for understanding what cats need from us humans in order to live happier, healthier lives.--From publisher description.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Heartbreaking and Inspiring submitted by KaileyH20 on June 30, 2014, 10:27am While not obsessed, I'm a fan of Galaxy's work on "My Cat From Hell". I absolutely loved this book. If you're not afraid of some self-reflection, I believe that everyone can find a little bit of themselves in Jackson Galaxy--he has overcome some powerful obstacles to reach the place where he's at now. And if he can keep going to make a difference in the world, then so can I. I laughed, I cried, I resolved to make my life as meaningful as possible after reading this book. Amazing!
