Jackson introduces you to his whole crew. And they’re not all cats.
Now you’re part of the family 
We regret that Jackson does not answer questions posted in the comments. This is due to his demanding schedule and the high volume of requests he receives. But most importantly, since he has not met your cat, it would be contrary to his approach for him to give specific personalized advice for your specific situation. That being said, general questions and issues are addressed throughout this blog, in his book CAT DADDY and of course, the show My Cat From Hell.
Beautiful family, and lucky cats (and Rudy)!
Velouria has such pretty eyes!!
Velouria looks just my Duchess who’s part Maine Coon…looks like she has the same kind of gentle personality too.. Lovely cats….Maine Coons and all of Jackson’s Kitties too…and Rudy. I bet those cats have got Rudy properly trained!
Aww there gorgeous cats.
Chippy and Velouria look incredible for their ages! I want to know their secret.
Thank you Jackson! They are adorable! You can tell they love their CatDaddy! Linda Eisenhauer (and Isis and Sky Blue)
Beautiful family! We all say hello from Scotland. (Zeus, Shadow and Spook) Momma’s boys!
What a lovely family you have, Jackson! God bless your senior girls! Although I presently love two cats, I love all animals, and Rudy looks like a sweetie! You can tell that you are all one happy family, and they love you to death, so sweet!
aaaawwwwwwww! thanks for sharing.
I apologize in advance if I offend anyone….but that first photo of Jackson looks like it should be in a woman’s magazine as a pseudo “centerfold”, if you know what I mean! It must be that pose, with the “boudoir eyes”. Hey, might be a good idea to raise money for his shelters….a sexy Jackson Galaxy calender! I wouldn’t mind seeing more of his…tattoos.
Lol!
Finally! Someone else with a sense of humor!
You are NOT wrong there! =^.^=
I’ve met the guy, and he is just “sexy” in the sense that he is so GENUINE. Why aren’t there more men like him in this crazy world?!
ya… he seems like an wise, awesome, patient guy…
I would so buy 1 … or 12 (i know a few who would like it as a gift and I could have one in every room of the house! hehe)…
Joy would be knowing that my cats think they live with Jackson!
Love you Jackson!
Sent you an emai..hope you’ll read it it. Gizmo’s life is on the line. Before anyone tells me how cruel i am, please know that this is a cat we rescued at 4 weeks old. She doesn’t like people and we have met with little success in introducing another rescue into the family. Putting her down would be the kindest thing if Jacson cannot help us. She attacks the kitten and now she is attacking us. We have tried severak differrent medications to lower her aggression leven but nothing seems t be working. HELP save Gizmo’s life, PLEASE!
Have you tired separating them, & only SLOWLY let them meet each other while eating on opposite sides of a barrier/screen? Jackson did a show on this. If I were you, I would look up that show and WATCH IT. Then do exactly as he did on the show. He, of course, solved the problem, as I am sure you can, too…with some work on your point. Also, are you playing with them? It really does work in getting the cats to know one another, and it USES UP THAT AGGRESSIVE ENERGY. Please don’t give up, just yet!
Hi Bev,
I know how desperate you are, but I don’t think Jackson answers these posts himself. Do you watch the show at all? That would be a big help to you. How old is Gizmo and how long have you had her? What sort of living arrangement does she have? Can she have space that is her own away from the kittens?
Loved seeing your pet family! Especially Velouria since she mentioned in your book (which I loved too).
Great work you are doing!
My husband just asked me, How many cats does Jackson have? I couldn’t answer until now. We have 5 at present, two gals and three boys. Our oldest, Scratch, is a 10 year old Siamese who weighs 30 lbs, yes, a very big boy! He does not eat that much, yet the vet said it can’t be thyroid problems in a cat. Our Tuxedo, Lucky, will not leave Chantilly, the little Siamese alone. He is very mean to her, yet a lovely, friendly people cat. I have a hard time doing my housework because of him. I have to separate both all of the time. It would be so nice to just let them all roam and have NO problems. All of my boys are very local, they love meowing and making noises to tell me what they think.
Are you feeding dry cat food? That is the worse thing you can feed. It is high in calories and nothing but grains and fillers in it. I feed mostly raw but also canned with no grains in it.

Cute. My Dusty (Dakota) was just shy of his 22nd bday when I had to give him back to God. It was 1 yr ago Oct 18th. He was with me since I interned for my Masters. He lived with me longer than anyone…even my family. I miss him dearly. The year before I had to send Country back to God. He was a few years younger and I had adopted him from my brother. Now I have a 3 1/2 yr old Sterling who I adopted last Dec (21st) and he is just wonderful…the misunderstood…that is what he’d tell the ER doc. He bit me good when I first got him. Almost had to stay in the hospital but 3rd day was getting a bit better. I told him that was his one bite a lifetime. Dusy had once at the vet. Shot hit a nerve and I pushed him away from vet so then he faced me & got me, so I knew how serious they are and what to do. Hopefully Sterling will be with me a long time as well. He is fun and makes sure I don’t oversleep….kisses…well I think it is more him wanting to be fed. HA! But hey my 2 red eared sliders “Sam” & “Ella” also wake me up to be fed by splashing in the water. Dang that conditioning. Enjoying the show! Great for Learning Theory for my psych students.
Hi there Jackson. Love your family. My husband and I are kitty people first, horse people second, then the dog figures in there somewhere! JK! Almost tho! No kids so they take their place for us. Love from our family, Bujo, Pinkie Smudge, Marcella, Nuno, Scooter, Livia, Lyka (3 kitties, 3 horses, 1 dog)

Beautiful family!!! Very similar to my household…4 cats and 2 dogs. Enjoy your show and look forward to the new season.
Is your dog a Jack Russell, Jackson? I have a 6-year-old Jack Russell and an 11-year-old cat who “secretly” love each other.
Thanks Jackson for sharing the photos of your beautiful family.
Glad to know you also have a dog too! It also helps people with cats and dogs at home who may have problems with them!DO they all get along most of the time?
Hello Jackson, thanks so much for sharing your precious darlings with us. We have a Tuxedo cat named Helio, and a deer-head, long-haired Chihuahua named Scarlet. Helio will be three this year and Scarlet will be five. Both are rescues and we have had them since they were a few weeks old. Helio found us as a stray and he and I formed a super close bond, while Scarlet was rescued by an organization and adopted by us. Most of the pets we have had in the past have been rescues or adopted, and all were always spayed/neutered. I had to smile knowingly after watching the show the other night with Tony and his seemingly un-neutered actions because we used to have a female cat who we had spayed, yet she exhibited all the signs of being in heat. We actually took her back as well and they went back in to see if something was missed but all was as it should have been. Eventually she finally overcame it and was ok, but everyone said it was so unusual to see that kind of behavior in a cat that was fixed. So like many viewers our first thought was that he was not neutered and were shocked at first to find out he was and then I remembered our Cleopatra.
Thanks for the great show in which your love for the cats is so wonderful and all your work and advice really is informational and great.
Wishing you all the best for continued success.
Nice to see well aged kitties!
I rarely see someone in real life who keeps their pets that long! In fact most people around here don’t seem to realize cats can live 20+ years! We just put my Tally to sleep recently. (He had gotten Renal Cancer). He was only 9 years old… the top comment I got was at least he was older?! SO yes- yes I am VERY happy to meet someone else with aging kitty friends 
. Well met, well met. Now just to get my new shelter adoptee and Tally’s bro to get along! – Off to watch your show for tips. 
Beautiful cats, all of them (and the dog too!). Caroline reminds me of my very first cat: a pregnant calico someone dumped at the side of the road in front of my parents’ house. I was about ten at the time. In short order she had three kittens. Unfortunately we could not keep the cats because of my Dad’s asthma, but my Mom’s sister, always a sucker for animals (and also an inability to refuse her nephews anything), ended up taking in the whole family.
We have a Tuxedo Cat named Harrison, named after Diana’s butler in the Trixie Belden books. He’s an indoor-outdoor cat, meaning he spends most of the day inside and goes in and out constantly. We love him and he is apart of our family.
We also want a dog. (minus my mother; she hates dogs and claims Harrison would run off if we brought a little puppy home this summer) I have read your posts about dog-to-cat introductions, and they seem to work. I watch your show every Saturday night with Harrison sitting on my lap. I’m very afraid my cat would turn into a cat who would live under the bed.
I know Jackson himself won’t reply, but a helpful blog reader will. What are your expieriences in dog-to-cat introductions?
