#i’ve reblogged this like twice#and i think some people are reblogging this as a joke#but bless this man and what he stands for
how is this funny to anyone.
Those people obviously don’t realize the extremely high kill rate for cats at shelters, not to mention that people literally dump indoor cats outside when they don’t want them anymore, and indoor cats often die due to starvation/predators (duh they have no survival skills).
Also – I might also be crying.
Jackson Galaxy is awesome. His story is is that he used to be a drug addict, and that while he was in the beginning of his recovery he saved a stray cat and nursed it back to life, and in return the cat essentially did the same for him, and ever since then, he’s taught himself everything there is to know about cats and their behavior. Cats saved his life, so he’s saving cats lives. He’s awesome.
His show has taught me more about how to take care of a cat than I learned from growing up with one.
Jackson Galaxy is the patron fucking saint of cats and I swear to god I will fight anybody coming for him.
You will catch these hands.
I don;t like when people make fun of Jackson Galaxy when he gets emotional.
Because a.) I get really fucking emotional over cats too, fuck you
and b.) it’s mostly because he’s a man and a patriarchal belief that men can’t cry or have feelings.
I love his show. One of my cats has HsHa, and it was through his show that my husband and I learned how to train Jasper to be a better cat. Jasper is doing fantastic now. We learned our other cat, Cacoa, acts out due to not getting the attention she wants. Again, through his show, we learned how to be better cat people.
The show teaches PEOPLE how to understand cats. People so often put human features on their animals, like thinking their cats are “out to get them” or are being petty or whatever. No, cats are cats. They’re not people. Folks get a cat (or two) thinking one thing and not understand what’s in front of them. Then they dump the cat somewhere convinced there’s nothing to be had. It’s especially bad when dog people get a cat without doing ANY FUCKING RESEARCH because these are two TOTALLY different worlds. Cats don’t speak dog unless raised with dogs and dogs don’t speak cat unless they were raised with cats.
He also teaches how to introduce cats to each other, how to introduce them to new people and dogs and just…he teaches people how to understand cats.
The show is called My Cat From Hell but really it ought to be called My Human Knows Nothing.
Watch the show. Learn what he’s teaching. Apply what you’ve learned. Put your patriarchal bullshit toxic masculinity mindset in the trash. Would you be mocking him if this was about dogs?
