how is this funny to anyone.
Those people obviously don’t realize the extremely high kill rate for cats at shelters, not to mention that people literally dump indoor cats outside when they don’t want them anymore, and indoor cats often die due to starvation/predators (duh they have no survival skills).
Also – I might also be crying.
Jackson Galaxy is awesome. His story is is that he used to be a drug addict, and that while he was in the beginning of his recovery he saved a stray cat and nursed it back to life, and in return the cat essentially did the same for him, and ever since then, he’s taught himself everything there is to know about cats and their behavior. Cats saved his life, so he’s saving cats lives. He’s awesome.
I have his book, he took the most assy cat, like a terror cat deemed unredeemable and they helped each other. He wasn’t able to buy drugs because he was buying the cat food, he started to sober up, started watching the cat to figure him out, and eventually realized a lot about cat behavior. He studied the cat, tried to get the cat’s respect, and eventually this cat that everyone had said couldn’t be saved became one of the most tame, sweet, kind, loving creatures.
Every animal and person can be redeemed. Sometimes it takes a bit of help. That’s his message.
