Jackson Galaxy
About this listen
Cat behaviorist and star of Animal Planet's hit television show My Cat from Hell, Jackson Galaxy, a.k.a. “Cat Daddy,” isn't what you might expect for a cat expert (as the New York Times noted, with his goatee and tattoos he “looks like a Hell's Angel”). Yet Galaxy's ability to connect with even the most troubled felines-not to mention the stressed-out humans living in their wake-is awe-inspiring. In this book, Galaxy tells the poignant story of his 13-year relationship with a petite gray-and-white short-haired cat named Benny, and gives singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving the feline in your home. When Benny arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician with not too much more going on than a part-time job at an animal shelter and a drug problem. Benny's previous owner brought the cat to the shelter in a cardboard box to give him up. Benny had seen better days-his pelvis had just been shattered by the wheels of a car-and his owner insisted he'd been “unbondable” from day one. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
An inspiring account of two broken beings who fixed each other, Cat Daddy is laced throughout with Galaxy's amazing “Cat Whisperer” advice for understanding what cats need most from us in order to live happier, healthier lives.

Cats are skilled manipulators who can talk you into just about anything without a single word. They can get you to drop whatever you're doing and play with them. They can make you serve their dinner way ahead of schedule. They can get you to sit down right this instant and provide a lap. On the other hand, try getting a cat to do what you want.... While it's hard, persuading a cat is possible. And after that, persuading humans becomes a breeze, and that is what you will learn in this audiobook.

When street musician James Bowen found an injured cat curled up in the hallway of his apartment building, he had no idea how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London, barely making enough money to feed himself - the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet, James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent, but very sick animal, whom he named Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, never imagining that he would see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

The history of philosophy has been a predictably tragic or comical succession of palliatives for human disquiet. Thinkers from Spinoza to Berdyaev have pursued the perennial questions of how to be happy, how to be good, how to be loved, and how to live in a world of change and loss. But perhaps we can learn more from cats - the animal that has most captured our imagination - than from the great thinkers of the world. In Feline Philosophy, the philosopher John Gray discovers in cats a way of living that is unburdened by anxiety and self-consciousness....

Cats are skilled manipulators who can talk you into just about anything without a single word. They can get you to drop whatever you're doing and play with them. They can make you serve their dinner way ahead of schedule. They can get you to sit down right this instant and provide a lap. On the other hand, try getting a cat to do what you want.... While it's hard, persuading a cat is possible. And after that, persuading humans becomes a breeze, and that is what you will learn in this audiobook.

Story
The history of philosophy has been a predictably tragic or comical succession of palliatives for human disquiet. Thinkers from Spinoza to Berdyaev have pursued the perennial questions of how to be happy, how to be good, how to be loved, and how to live in a world of change and loss. But perhaps we can learn more from cats - the animal that has most captured our imagination - than from the great thinkers of the world. In Feline Philosophy, the philosopher John Gray discovers in cats a way of living that is unburdened by anxiety and self-consciousness....

I could not stop listening
Jackson Galaxy has written one of the most passionate and moving accounts that I have read in a very long time. His ability to connect his life lessons with the lessons he learned with the help of his cats, gave the story something extra. I so appreciated his willingness to share his journey so honestly.
Galaxy did a superb job of narrating the story, as well. I could feel his love for those animals. I didn't want it to end but it ended perfectly. There aren't many audiobooks that hold my attention as did this one.

The BEST Audible Book I've ever listen to.
Where does Cat Daddy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is easily the best audible book I've ever listened too.
This quote from "Dead Poets Society" best describes the combination of Jack Galaxy narrating his own book:
"We didn't just read poetry, we let it drip from our tongues like honey."
Honest, funny, biting, sad, thought provoking, atmospheric, this book has it all and I can't say enough how good Jackson is as the narrator. He makes you feel like you're in the room as these things are happening, the mark of a genius writer, narrator, poet and cat loving human being.
This book embodies the "very best" of what Audible can be.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cat Daddy?
When Jackson saves his cat from dying.
What does Jackson Galaxy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He makes you feel like you're actually in the moment with him as it's happening.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, laugh, cry, anger, motivation, everything.
Any additional comments?
Best audible book I've ever listened to!

The loss of his kitty. Been there and understood how he felt.

Awesome story.
I love listening to Jackson Galaxy's passion to animals. This book was a emotional book, some with happy times and some with sad.
There are cat tips at the end but this is mostly an autobiographical account told though Jackson Galaxy's eyes.
I enjoyed this book. It spoke to my heart at times and facinated me to no end.

Great story line
Great story though I could have done without all the profanity! Just saying it would have been better without all the cussing especially when using the Lord's Name in vane as well as using the "f" word.
Jackson, you're smarter than all the cussing.😻😻😻

I really loved this book.
What did you love best about Cat Daddy?
This book is for everyone who ever took a round about path to find their own success. I will admit that I am a cat person but this book is so much more than a book about cats. Jackson is a very interesting person with a great story to tell. He is very bright, intelligent, very well educated an follow his heart through incredible challenges that would crush most people. This is an inspiring read that I had a hard time turning off at the end of my car ride. I guess you could call it a driveway book as I couldn't stop listening to get out of my car in the driveway.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cat Daddy?
He is a great story teller and I found my self talking out loud to the book in my car like I was somehow involved in his conversation or if he were speaking directly to me. I might have looked strange to other drivers as I wiped a tear, covered my mouth in shock or pounded on my steering wheel at tense moments.
What about Jackson Galaxy’s performance did you like?
He has a Master of Fine Arts degree and clearly he can perform. His narration is clear, passionate an emotional. He is a great narrator.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
He actually plays guitar too.
Any additional comments?
This is one of my favorite reads and I say that with all sincerity.

Wonderful & surprising story!
I can't remember why I got this book. I think it was actually an accident... But it turned out to be really great! If you love animals, this is perfect for you.
