If you are still one of the few people left on this planet who have not gotten your cat Da Bird, if this entertaining video to follow doesn’t convince you, nothing will! Rather unfathomable to me in retrospect, but in all my 50 plus cat loving years, I actually had not heard of Da Bird until I watched Jackson Galaxy use it as a behavioral toy on My Cat From Hell a few weeks ago. Apparently I had been living under a rock, because when I found the item and read the reviews, not only was every cat in the universe in love with this toy, they were addicted to it like a drug addict… Read more

Well, these darn cats have done it again! I haven’t even been asked to visit our local TV station after living here almost 20 years, and my cats, just like that have been invited to walk the Academy Award Red Carpet! You heard it right, my cats, along with the cats of several other highly esteemed cat bloggers will be part of a live pre-Oscar Red Carpet Cat Twitter party with world famous cat, Gracey, of The Tiniest Tiger, and the Cat Daddy himself, Jackson Galaxy of My Cat From Hell!!

I know I say this over and over, after all, it is the anthem and crux of the book I wrote, but I need to say it again. The greatest lesson I have learned from my cats is to “embrace the ordinary in life and dare to make it extraordinary.” Read more

Editors Note: I am happy to say that Zeuss Catt from Boston and his human Sean, are both “My Cat From Hell” converts now that I have brought the show to their attention. Zeuss is the most amazing cat – he actually does not have behavioral issues – he has captivated me with his intelligence, witty writing skills, and superior athleticism since he was a little kitten. Please enjoy his take on Jackson Galaxy and the infamous “Da Bird” toy as he discusses the show from his point of view.

Jackson Galaxy

Last month Deb posted an interview with a human named Jackson Galaxy.  Mr. Galaxy is an actor, and he stars in my new favorite TV program My Cat from Hell.  Each episode consists of Galaxy portraying a “cat behaviorist” who visits with some troubled cats and their humans.  Galaxy uses hypnotic eyeglasses and his magic case of toys to win over the troubled cats, thereby saving the day and gaining the respect of the other humans. 

Mr. Galaxy excels in his starring role, but this show wouldn’t be so much fun to watch without the performances of some top-notch feline co-stars.  These cats demonstrate tremendous range while acting out their varied roles and deserve to be recognized.  Bear, Lu Lu, Sully, Duff, Minibar, Larry, Avery- I’m sure that I’m forgetting some names- all of these cat actors gave great performances and had great chemistry with Mr. Galaxy.

The beauty about video as a medium, is that it can take the words from a book and bring them to life with startling reality! One of my favorite chapters of The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey is Chapter 23 – A Door is a Door is a Door. The whole essence of this chapter is the essence of the book – that cats find the ordinary in everyday life and make it extraordinary. No where is this more evident than Saturday mornings. Read more
