Review: A stunning story about learning to living well -- for humans *and* cats. - I've owned and loved cats for 30 years. I pay attention to what they try to teach me, and I think I have a pretty high level of empathy with animals. But Jackson Galaxy has more. He also has the benefit of experience working in an animal shelter, dealing with frustrated owners and traumatized cats. He's learned hands-on -- from the animals -- how to soothe, and how to teach cats as well as people. He knows what cats' signals mean. As much as I love my cats, I've often failed to understand what they're saying. Jackson's book about living with cats is the first I've read that conveys such profound empathy and understanding. When dealing with behavior problems, Jackson *knows* why methods work, or don't work, and what else to try. And he offers effective methods in a simple, clear, boiled-down fashion that takes the misery out of trying to get a cat to change her behavior. He gives you insight and confidence. He makes unknown territory... known. From his work at the shelter, Jackson knows what it's like to perform euthanasia on animals that had been, or could have been, beloved pets. This book gives you an overview of this miserable process, and it lets you know that almost any animal can be helped and saved. Jackson is a dedicated crusader to make kill shelters obsolete. He explains the necessity of spaying and neutering pets so well that I want to send a copy of this book to every kid who might own a pet some day, as well as every adult who needs a clue. While Jackson was learning about cats, he was also in recovery from multiple addictions, stripping his consciousness down to the nerve to learn what he -- and all living beings -- are really about. He made important discoveries about people and animals, and that's part of this story too. One of the most piercing moments in this book is Jackson's realization that he had made helping cats his higher power. That was his reason for living and for staying sober. You don't have to be in recovery to realize that helping an animal -- even just one -- is one of the most important things you'll ever do. And that seeing that animal living its life well is one of the greatest rewards. The last part of the book focuses on the declining months of his beloved cat and the process of deciding when it was time for euthanasia. He describes his experience in the most raw and honest way imaginable. It was hard to read, but his insight is powerful and the lesson vitally important. Next time I have to decide when to let an ailing cat go, I'll be reading his words again.
Review: BROKEN, ABANDONED SHELTER CAT FINDS AND SAVES A GIFTED ADDICT - A METAPHOR FOR GALAXY'S LIFE COULD BE A WORM CRAWLING ON THE EDGE OF A RAZOR BLADE (I.E., A LINE FROM THE MOVIE ''APOCALYPSE NOW''). LIKE MANY GIFTED PEOPLE, BECAUSE HE'S SO EXTRAORDINARILY SMART, GALAXY SEES FINE NUANCES IF HIS STRUGGLES AROUND PLEASING HIS FATHER, DISCOVERING AND MASTERING A CAREER, HE ACTUALLY CREATED FROM NOTHING LIKE VAN GOGH DID IN THE ART WORLD. GALAXY HAS MANY OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME. FOR EXAMPLE, HE ISN'T WELL UNDERSTOOD, LIKE MANY OTHER BRILLANT PEOPLE. IN MANY WAYS, HE'S ISOLATED COPING WITH CRONIC ANXIETY, PTSD, AND MULTIPLE ADDICTIONS (E.G. LEGAL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, AND FOOD). FOR 34 YEARS, I WORKED IN AN AREA OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE, SPECIFICALLY WITH BOTH YOUNG CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. THIS BOOK IS BRUTALLY HONEST, AND BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. IT'S PRECISE, INSIGHTFUL, FIERCE IN ITS DESCRIPTIONS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS OF GROWING UP ALONE IN THE WORLD. GALAXY IS A COMPLEX INDIVIDUAL. HE'S A MAN WHO WAS A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN BY NIGHT,NOW A WRITER OF BOTH MUSIC AND BOOKS, WHILE FOR ANOTHER PART OF HIS LIFE, GALAXY ALSO WAS EMPLOYED IN AN ANIMAL SHELTER WITH ALL ITS HORROR STORIES OF LIVING THINGS, WHICH NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THOSE BUILDINGS. GALAXY IS A GENIUS WITH NO FORMAL UNIVERSITY CREDENTIALS BESIDE HIS NAME, HOWEVER, FROM MINUTE OBSERVATIONS ALONE, GALAXY REINVENTS THE ENTIRE WAY CATS ARE UNDERSTOOD IN NORTH AMERICA. OF COURSE, HIS FATHER WASN'T PLEASED WITH HIM. HIS FATHER WANTED GALAXY TO JUST GET A REAL JOB, ANY JOB, THAT PAID WELL, BUT GALAXY IS GIFTED, CREATIVE, AND COMPASSIONATE. HE ABHORS SUFFERING IN THE INNOCENT AND THE HELPLESS. INDIVIDUALLY, GALAXY INVENTED A WHOLE NEW CAREER FIELD AROUND FELINES AND HE HAS BECOME THE TOP CAT BEHAVORIST IN THE UNITED STATES. LIKE STEVE JOBS, GALAXY IS AN INVENTOR. I USED TO WALK TO A PUBLIC LIBRARY WITH MY MOTHER, WHEN I WAS 4 YEARS OLD, 70 YEARS AGO. I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO BOOKS BEING READ TO ME, AND I HAVE BEEN READING BOOKS MYSELF EVER SINCE. THIS BOOK "CAT DADDY" IS IN THE TOP 2 BEST BOOKS, I'VE EVER READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I COULDN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! GALAXY IS SO VERY, VERY BRAVE, AND SO, SO HONEST. IF MOST PEOPLE WERE EVEN HALF AS AUTHENTIC AS GALAXY IS, THEY WOULD BE HIDING IN THEIR BASEMENT OUT OF EMBARRASSMENT AND NEVER COME OUT. HOW MANY OF US PRESENT A FALSE FRONT TO THE WORLD? HOW MANY OF US ARE AN ACTOR, OR AN ACTRESS ON A STAGE? HOW MANY OF US COMPLAIN ABOUT LIFE, BUT NEVER EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIND SOLUTIONS FOR LIFE'S UGLY PROBLEMS? DID AN ABANDONED, BROKEN CAT FIND GALAXY, OR DID GALAXY FIND HIM? THIS BOOK IS LIKE SCORCHED EARTH, THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE FOR ALL TO SEE. THIS MAN AND HIS CAT ARE MIRRORS OF EACH OTHER. BOTH OF THEM WOULD HAVE DIED YOUNG WITHOUT FINDING THEIR TWIN, BUT FATE AND LOVE INTERVENED. THIS BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT GIFT, AND VALENTINE'S DAY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic book for cat lovers
*by H***T on July 26, 2012*

Wow. I read this book in 2 days. Thanks, Jackson, for laying yourself bare for us. As I read the book, I felt some kinship with you in that I have isolated myself with my husband and cats because people are so disappointing sometimes. Kitties were my crying pillow when I was a little girl living with an alcoholic mother. As an adult, I still found that kitties never disappointed me, but people always did. I never had to deal with demons of drugs and finally found the most wonderful husband and we just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We've had as many as 15 rescued cats in our home and each was loved and respected as an individual. I wish that I had your book long ago when introducing new kitties into the home. We did pretty well over the years, but wound up with some kitties living in the bedroom for not getting along with the others. Fortunately we have a big house and master bedroom suite. The years have passed and in the last few, we lost 6 precious kitties as they aged. We were down to 5 and it was actually feeling a bit lonely. When at the vet recently with our 19 year old for a blood pressure check, a tech burst into the room and thrust a kitten into my arms - "they need a home! and we think you guys should take them!" We're getting a bit older and not sure about the work with more kitties. Our vet and entire staff love us because they knew how well we care for them. They begged us to take them! I felt like these 2 little guys were sent from God above to soothe my hurting heart from losing 2 last year, one of which was my special, once in a lifetime kitty who dove under the covers with me every morning. We were better at introducing 2 new little grey kittens and our resident cats had not one hiss! The kittens are a delight and snuggle with us already, they are very special. I had learned a few tips from watching your show, but the book is AWESOME! I really loved reading your story and hope that you realize what a strong, courageous, special man you are for accomplishing what you did. Life ain't easy, but you still kept trying and always dug to the deepest of the problem, trying to solve it. That takes courage and pulling yourself up from the bottom. For readers, this is a great story of triumph over demons and the journey to become a special advocate for cats. On a stormy night, Jackson was new at trying to help scared cats in the shelter and went one by one, saying "I love you" with the slow eye blink, to each one until they were calmed from the horrible thunder and all screaming at the top of their lungs. 45 cats were calmed one at a time as he went patiently to each one through the night. That's amazing! I just can't say enough about this book. I just loved it. Thanks, Jackson and God bless you!
