TV Review: My Cat From Hell Season Premiere - Page 2

Author: xoxoxoePublished: Jan 03, 2012 at 6:46 pm 4 comments

Jackson helps his clients use some seemingly simple techniques (restructuring the physical environment, getting the cat fixed) to help deal with emotional and territorial issues for the felines in question. He also has a lot of patience and stamina to work with cats that have been labeled "crazy," but he is always convinced that they can be helped.

We've probably all come across difficult cats in our lives, and watching this episode made me wish I had known some of his techniques years ago when dealing with a particularly difficult roommate's cat. Even if you don't have your own "cat from hell," both segments offered some interesting ideas for cat lovers to try in their own homes to form better relationships and make better environments for their cats.

Galaxy has been a professional cat whisperer since 2002. He works as a consultant, teaches classes, and has co-created a holistic flower essence remedy product line, Spirit Essences. He has such a great rapport with both Larry and Ruby and their humans in My Cat From Hell, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with the difficult cats (and people) in the next episode.

    Always thought a "Cat Whisperer" was more needed than a "Dog Whisperer." Hope this series lasts many years!

    Okay. I just watched the segment about Mad Max and am concerned. I taught parent education for many years and worked with parents of newborns. I would never encourage a parent to put a cat in the crib with a baby. It was a great idea to get Max used to the scent of a baby, but not by placing the cat in the crib with the doll. I would caution any parent to never leave their baby unattended with any kind of pet. It is an "old wives tale" that cats will suck the breath from a baby, but cats have been known to accidentally sufficate newborns. Some cats are attracted to the warmth of a baby and will snuggle up too close where the baby cannot breathe. For this same reason pillows and blankets should not be in the crib. I love this show and I love animals, but when it comes to the safety of babies and children, just don't take chances!

    I saw the vid about the cat needing eye drops. I would recommend Rescue Remedy about 20 minutes before the drops. Helped my cat turn sub-cutaneous infusion from a fight to a purr session. Of course check with your vet first. It was a miracle for us!
