Jackson Galaxy

Jackson Galaxy is an American cat behaviour consultant best known for visiting households on Animal Planet's My Cat From Hell to work on aggression, inappropriate elimination, and scratching.

His approach starts with environment and interaction: check whether territory is divided sensibly and whether key resources (food, water, litter boxes, scratching and hiding spots) are sufficient, then adjust the daily rhythm of play and feeding instead of labelling the cat as badly behaved.

His cat mojo framework breaks a stable feline state into eating, playing, and loving as daily routines, using predictable schedules and active play to reduce anxiety and conflict.

For ordinary households his public advice centres on small, doable changes: add vertical space, spread resources out, and use a wand toy once a day to complete a full hunt-and-eat sequence.
