If you like the show "My Cat From Hell," then you'll love this book. Jackson Galaxy shares his personal story of how he discovered his path and traveled it while battling and overcoming obstacles such as drug addiction and food addiction. I especially like that Jackson uses his own words and tells his story in a brutally honest way. He's a gift to cats and cat lovers everywhere!

I enjoyed this book which was definitely more of a memoir than a cat advice/information resource. It provided the backstory for Jackson Galaxy's journey to his cat behaviorist career which was far from straightforward. This story must include Galaxy's personal traumas and addictions, as these play a leading role in his later, eventually more healthy choices. The relationship he has with Benny, was instructive, both for Galaxy and for this reader, as many of the techniques Galaxy employs with success as a cat behaviorist today, began with his work at the shelter, and with Benny. I was impressed by the sheer volume of research he did on cat behavior and how he experimented with all he read to see what really worked. I found much of his story with Benny moving and as a fellow cat owner/lover I appreciated this book.
