Tonight is the premiere of My Cat From Hell

[Medusa]

Saturday, May 7, 9 - 10 PM. That's tonight, folks. Below is more info:

For the first time on Animal Planet, the network will utilize a man who “speaks the language of cats” to tackle feisty felines and the human bonds they have threatened to break in the new series MY CAT FROM HELL. In this three-part mini-series premiering on Saturday, May 7 at 9 PM. (ET/PT), cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy brings his unique understanding of kitty nature to relationships on the verge of collapse due to aggressive a...nd sometimes violent felines.

At first glance, Galaxy appears tough – with a shaved head, stylish goatee and multiple cat-themed tattoos – but his looks can be deceiving. When he forms a personal connection with problem cats and mentors couples in crisis and desperate to hold onto their furry companions, his softer side emerges. Armed with his trademark guitar case filled with cat toys and training aides, he investigates the reasons why these cats have evolved from cute kittens into unruly felines. Then, utilizing his 15 years of experience and proven training techniques perfected at countless animal shelters and in private consultations, Jackson works with both the cats and their owners in hopes of curbing their habits and rescuing them from these nightmare situations.

In each episode, viewers witness first-hand, in-home accounts of cat guardians struggling to reign in their feisty felines and once again find domestic harmony, including one woman’s emotional dilemma after moving cross country to live with her boyfriend only to discover that his cat does not want her there. In another story, Jackson attempts to save a fiancé who realizes he hates his bride-to-be’s cat and its dangerous habit of going from calm to vicious at a moment’s notice. With limited time and tons of work to do, it’s a race against the clock to save these relationships and the cats before it’s too late.

“I truly believe that I can walk into anyone’s home and use my special skills to resolve their cat issues, whether caused by the owner, the feline or both,” says Jackson. “If it keeps one cat out of a shelter or off the street, I know I have done my job.”

Thank you letting us know this. Mr. Spunky is not unruly, but he is VERY demanding and HIGH MAINTENANCE.

I will watch if I don't fall asleep. I guess my DVR might come in handy here.

I think it'll probably be a good show for those who try to socialize ferals or semi-ferals. We'll see.

Sounds interesting, I'll set the DVR in case a dark, handsome man calls or I need to check my eyelids for holes...LOL!!!!
Thanks Mary

Thanks for the heads-up! Just what I've been hoping for: a Cat Whisperer! Maybe I can figure out how to keep Blue from harassing Althea. (Have you noticed that Blue gets into a lot of trouble? )

I'll try to watch! Too bad they didn't have this show while my Sassy was still with me!

I didn't even know about it but I had Animal Planet on so I was able to watch it. It was a great show and I learned even more about cats. I've seen this man on some other Animal Planet shows about cats before. One was a contest for America's Cutest Cat.

I reminded everyone then forgot about it myself. I did watch the second half, though, and I loved it. When I saw the cat who sat in his litterbox, I felt bad b/c that's what my Specs used to do. He's still so very timid, won't show himself at all when company is here, especially my son for some reason. (I can assure you that my son loves him, he loves all my cats and we can't figure out why Specs is so afraid when he's here. He stays in the basement and as soon as my son goes out the door, Specs will come out. My son feels so bad about it and so do I.) Anyhow, Specs is no longer sitting in the litterbox but he's still so timid. If even I make a sudden move, he bolts. I've had him for nearly 10 years so if he was abused before I rescued him, you would think he'd be more secure by now. I'm going to be sure to watch the show if it's on every week.

Great show!!!

I DVRed all 3 episodes and watched them this weekend. I LOVED the show. He's awesome and the people were able to turn their behavior around to give their cats a happy life.

I always knew my guys loved being up high, and gave them their space, so its nice to see I've done something right But now I want to add shelves and perches in every room throughout the house

We caught up on all the episodes this weekend while in Tahoe. We watched Animal Planet for over 3 hours!! Caught the last part of the Lulu and Sully episode again too. But my boyfriend watched with me and was also amazed at Jackson. Oh, and there was an episode of Me or the Dog in the middle too. hee hee
