Episode 48 with Jackson Galaxy
Popularly known as “The Cat Daddy,” Jackson Galaxy is the host and executive producer of Animal Planet's long running hit show “My Cat From Hell.” Jackson, an animal advocate and cat behavior and wellness expert, is also a two-time New York Times best-selling author with more than 25 years of experience working with cats and their guardians. He is on a mission to educate people about cats and deepen the human and cat bond, while reducing the number of animals that end up in shelters.
Long before Jackson was known as “The Cat Daddy,” the working musician found he had a unique ability to connect with cats when he took a job at a local animal shelter. During the decade that followed, he worked with thousands of cats, successfully lowering the euthanasia rate at his shelter. His work at the shelter led to a private practice of working with cat guardians and cats in their homes, which helped keep cats out of the shelter in the first place, and became the premise for “My Cat From Hell.” An immediate hit, the show has been a broadcast staple for ten seasons and has become a global phenomenon, placing Jackson at the forefront of a worldwide obsession with all things feline.
All along, Jackson has stayed true to his roots as a shelter worker, educator, fervent advocate and in-home cat family therapist. At the root of Jackson’s unique approach is a philosophy known as “Cat Mojo,” which teaches cat guardians the skills to help their feline friends build confidence and thrive within their environment, and to better the human/cat relationship at the same time. Jackson has extensively detailed his work and life in his growing collection of authored books. His first, “Cat Daddy,” is a memoir, telling
the story of a life-changing relationship with a cat named Benny during his years as a musician, shelter worker and an addict struggling to find a path towards recovery. His subsequent books, co-written by Cat Style Expert Kate Benjamin from Hauspanther.com, “Catify to Satisfy” and “Catification,” which both landed on the New York Times Best-Sellers List, focuses on designing a home that works for both cats and humans. His latest book, “Total Cat Mojo,” is a comprehensive guide to his approach on total cat wellness and eliminating behavioral problems by understanding cats and their instinctive behavior.
Jackson has always been committed to bringing better products to the market that live up to his high standards. Jackson Galaxy Solutions, the only line of flower essence remedies designed by a behavior specialist and a veterinarian, has been helping animals live happier and healthier lives since 1995. More recently, his partnership with Petmate has brought a 20-year vision to fruition, providing innovative toys and products for every stage of a cat’s life.
True to his goal of helping to save all animals, Jackson started the Jackson Galaxy Project in 2015, now a Signature Program of GreaterGood.org, which seeks to better the lives of at-risk animals by transforming the places they live and helping the people who care for them. Jackson spends much of his time these days devoted to growing the reach and impact of the life-saving JGP Programs and partnerships, including Cat Pawsitive, which focuses on giving shelters and rescue workers the tools to train cats in their care in
order to help them find their mojo and get adopted, Safe Haven, which retrofits domestic violence shelters so victims can bring their pets when leaving an abusive home, and Operation Homeward Bound, which is
a transport program that flies cats and dogs to shelters around the country that have more room to find them new homes.
Jackson has been featured on 20/20, The Today Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Show with\ Steven Colbert, Adulting Well Podcast, The Tonight Show, EXTRA, The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post and more.

    Hi guys. First listener. Same age and ethos. I grew up in Eastern Washington two hour south of Spokane and three east of Seattle. A midway point by way of Boise. Now I heard the Built To Spill drop and just had to lay it all out for you. I currently live in a van in the mission district but the town I grew up in is called TRI-CITIES. So for me FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK MY LIFE (it still hurts so bad) the show I missed in 1992 was Small(?), TREEPEOPLE, Fugazi. Not lying I’d give both at 44 to be able to go back and not work my shift at Little Caesar’s for $ 4.10 an hour just to go. Now I already went on a bit of a ‘91 rant today because thanks to Treepeople and Fugazi and Nate Mendel of Diddley Squat, Sunny Day Real Estate(my first show being theirs too),Foo Fighters I grew up in arguably the best less than 100,000 population scene one could ever dream of. And I would like to share some of that history with like minded individuals. I guarantee I can turn you onto the best music you’ve ever heard in your life that has five likes. Now I’m going to have to assume that you are familiar with the treepeople. But if you are not boy are you guys in for the treat of your lives I mean this band toured from both Boise to Seattle stopping in my hometown to inspire the fuck out of some 30 to 50 kids. So I hope u don’t mind too much since there’s only 15 contributors if I use the space to been a few years as my gratitude for you all bending mine. Another aspect of my hometown that made the scene so great is the Seattle bands that would come Out to play to work on chops to build confidence to be adored bye hordes of 15-year-old acid heads. As a matter fact the Foo Fighters very first show is supposed to be there but it got canceled. Now I’d like to expose you guys to some of the local scene. I’m sure you will pick up on the obvious discord influence not only in the style of music but also in the practice of our politic all tho self admittedly I’ve been a junkie my whole life and the few sober nights I ever had where Fugazi shows because I’m not your average junkie I’m fucking loyal as fuck. I’m sure you will pick up on the obvious discord influence not only in the style of music but also in the practice of our politic all those self admittedly I’ve been a junkie my whole life and the few sober nights I ever had where Fugazi’s shows because I’m not your average junkie I’m fucking loyal and sentimental as fuck. And thanks for Fugazi I believe in having a structured belief system that I don’t break it’s what has kept me alive all these years. Thank You sooooooo much. So earlier today I ran across this video and this topic (1991 Seattle influenced music Presented bye the main stream memory of Rick Beato) as you might understand especially even the fucking word that starts with a G just kind of drives me insane and having grown up through the entire experience I got to experience the real deal. For instance in my eyes the real Nirvana was a band called Unwound. On the kill Rockstars label I believe this is the band Nirvana always wanted to be like as far as talent influence and success now again if you’ve not heard of this band you must seek out. Their progress was absolute in the final album they did On the kill Rockstars label I believe this is the band Nirvana always wanted to be like as far as talent influence and success now again if you’ve not heard of this band you must seek out.
