Jackson Galaxy has been called everything from a cat trainer to a cat shrink. Drawing on his years of experience in animal shelters and as a consultant working one-on-one with thousands of cats in their homes, his unique "Cat Mojo" approach offers people a deeper understanding of why their cats act out in the ways they do. Galaxy maintains a private consulting practice in Los Angeles.
"Galaxy's candor earns the reader's trust...he seamlessly weaves
his relationship with Benny into the larger story of his life and
recovery, which will appeal to a readership beyond cat lovers."
--Publishers Weekly
"Mr. Galaxy--shaved head, arms full of tattoos--seems physically at
odds with his gentle voice and gentle approach to animals.... But
though he may be dealing with humans who have been terrorized and
even bloodied by their out-of-control pets, he's a model of
consistency. The cats, not the people, are his No. 1 priority."
--The New York Times
"Galaxy is not your average animal behaviorist. He speaks Cat. And
cats listen. He works miracles in saving death-row cats in shelters
by helping them get over their fears and increase their
self-esteem, and coaching them to 'work it' with potential
adopters." --mousebreath.com
"There's an undeniable authenticity that comes through in "Cat
Daddy;" its confessional nature and raw, often lyrical, prose are
sure to resonate with a broad audience."--Modern Cat
"He's the kind of magic man who can lull a shelter's roomful of
ferocious felines to sleep." --Yahoo!
"Each of us sheds light on our subject from our own particular
point of view. Fortunately for us all Jackson Galaxy's light is
very bright. His success at resolving behavioral difficulties in
cats stems from his ability to slide his mind into the cat's point
of view and proceed from there. His insights into both human and
cat behavior are right on." --Anitra Frazier, author of "The
Natural Cat"
"A joy.... Sometimes the biggest stories are actually the smallest
ones--one man, one cat, and a quiet love that was large enough to
save them both." --Gwen Cooper, "New York"" Times "bestselling
author of "Homer's Odyssey "and "Love Saves the Day"
"This book is no ordinary cat memoir, nor is it an ordinary cat
advice book. It is an inspirational tour de force that offers an
intimate glimpse at Jackson, the man, and Jackson, the Cat Daddy."
--Ingrid King, award-winning author of "Buckley's Story: Lessons
from a Feline Master Teacher"
"The book will take you on a roller coaster of emotions -- anger,
frustration, sadness, joy -- and will teach you a lot about cats
along the way.... ["Cat Daddy"] contains stories of love, healing
and the intense joy that comes with finding your higher purpose. It
is a must-read for animal lovers, rescue workers, lost souls and
anyone who has been touched by a cat in their life."
--CatChannel.com
"With his goatee and tattoos, not to mention his custom-lined
guitar-case-turned-pet-supply-kit, 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
"At first glance, Jackson Galaxy is the quintessential, bearded,
tattooed L.A. hipster musician type with a laid back tone and a
mellow voice; but scratch the surface and you'll find a
45-year-old, Jewish New Yorker who happens to love and understand
cats like no other." --Layla Morgan Wilde, The Boomer Muse blog
