CAT DADDY How One Very Special Cat Fixed One Very Broken man JaCKson galaXY The star of Animal Planet’s popular TV show My Cat from Hell shares the inspiring story of one petite grayand-white cat who turned his life around—as well as his singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving your own special feline friend (or friends!). © John Lennon 62
Praise for Jackson Galaxy and My Cat from Hell “Galaxy might not seem like a typical ‘cat person’—but who better than a New Yorker inked with images of cats and his own set of whiskers to mediate between a fussy feline and its guardian?” —New York Post “If you have a cat from hell, Jackson Galaxy may be the guy who can get little Mittens to start acting normal.” —aol news Jackson Galaxy, aka “Cat Daddy” and star of Animal Planet’s My Cat from Hell, isn’t what you might expect as far as “cat experts” are concerned (as The New York Times recently noted, he “looks like a Hells Angel”). Yet Galaxy’s ability to connect with even the most troubled feline—not to mention the stressed-out humans attempting to carve out some semblance of sanity in the wake of its wrath—is truly astonishing. In this book, Galaxy shares the unlikely story of how he came to be known as “Cat Daddy,” focusing on his thirteen-year-long relationship with an incredible cat named Benny. When Benny arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician with a drug problem and a part-time job at an animal shelter. When Benny’s previous owner handed him to Galaxy in a cardboard carrier, Benny had seen better days—his pelvis had just been shattered by the wheels of a car—but the woman declared that he’d been “un-bondable” from day one. Nothing could have been further from the truth. A poignant account of two broken beings who fixed each other, Cat Daddy is laced throughout with Galaxy’s amazing “Cat Whisperer” advice for understanding what cats need most from us humans in order to live happier and healthier lives.
