In the pantheon of famous internet cats, few stand as tall as Lil Bub. The perma-kitten with saucer-sized eyes and a tongue perpetually flopping from her mouth became a social media star in the 2010s, and she remains a cherished favorite two years after her death in 2019 at age eight.

Now, a new limited-edition coffee table book, Lil Bub: The Earth Years, will celebrate Bub’s legacy and impact. Bub’s owner, Mike Bridavsky, compiled the book, which will boast photos and biographical commentary alongside quotes from Whoopi Goldberg, Jack Black,...

When a fan told Jimmy Lavalle that a song he wrote about 18 years ago had become really popular with cats on TikTok, he was shocked. He wrote the track in Reykjavík, Iceland, gazing at the Esjan mountains across Kollafjörður bay — now, cats were prancing across their living rooms to the tune.

Last December, the ambient and electronic musician (also known as Album Leaf) received a video in which the serene opening strains of “Window” — the first song on 2004’s In a Safe Place — unexpectedly piqued the attention of a cat...

Author and cat expert Jackson Galaxy believes firmly that confidence is key in cat’s lives – and wants to help cats get their mojo back. “Cat mojo is the ultimate level of confidence.

As part of the new partnership, The Jackson Galaxy Foundation will now be known as The Jackson Galaxy Project, and will join other distinguished initiatives as a GreaterGood.org signature program. Rooted in the goal to better the lives of animals at risk and the people who care for them, the program was founded by Jackson Galaxy, animal advocate, cat expert and host of Animal Planet’s hit show My Cat From Hell.

“We began collaborating with Jackson Galaxy about three years ago, to great success,” said Liz Baker, Executive Director of GreaterGood.org. “I am thrilled to officially join forces, and work together to expand his philanthropic endeavors. As part of GreaterGood.org, we’ll be able to create even more innovative programs that improve the lives of both people and pets.”

This month, Helen Woodward Animal Center will once again unite with animal welfare proponents and organizations worldwide for the 5th Annual Remember Me Thursday.

Honored on the fourth Thursday of September, the campaign asks pet lovers and animal rescue groups to create an unstoppable, integrated voice advocating for homeless pets to live in forever homes, not die waiting for them. Grassroots candle-lighting ceremonies and a global avalanche of social media buzz will shine a light on the millions of animals still awaiting adoption and encourage communities to opt to adopt and reduce the millions of homeless pets euthanized each year. As in previous years, some very big names are stepping forward to lend their support to the cause, including Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress, Kristin Chenoweth, who has been named the 2017 Official Spokesperson for the campaign. Helen Woodward Animal Center encourages the world to join with these philanthropic celebrities and...

One of this year’s most innovative design events, Architects for Animals “Giving Shelter” exhibit, returns to the Herman Miller Showroom in Culver City on October 19th 2017.

The event is expected to be a sold-out fundraiser for La-based non-profit FixNation, which provides free spay and neuter services for the city’s skyrocketing population of homeless cats.

La’s top architecture and design firms as well as individual architects and designers have been invited to design, build and donate one-of-a-kind and functional outdoor dwellings for cats. Shelters will be displayed at a cocktail reception attended by the public, VIPs and media representatives. Also on display: cat food bowls decorated by feline-loving celebrities such as Jay Leno, Beau Bridges, Morgan Fairchild, Tricia Helfer, Jackson Galaxy and Elvira; all bowls will be available for purchase via an online auction.

“These cat shelters are absolutely remarkable,” says FixNation’s Co-Founder and Executive Director Karn Myers.

Jackson Galaxy experiences one of his most tense ever moments on tonight’s episode of Animal Planet’s My Cat From Hell — when a cat he’s playing with suddenly collapses during filming. Mr. Weasley the Himalayan Persian and his owner Karen feature on the show as she tries to get help dealing with his hyperactive nature. But as the cameras are rolling and Jackson is showing Karen some proper playing techniques, Mr. Weasley suddenly collapses on the floor. Jackson urgently tells producers: “Let’s get this cat to a vet, like now.” There are tense moments for Jackson, Karen and the rest...read more...

Sometimes, cats just gonna cat. That’s the case with Cali at least, a pretty kitty who will attack any and every human being on the planet — besides her guardian Tara, that is. Tara did the only thing a responsible cat owner could do: she called “My Cat From Hell” host Jackson Galaxy. Also Read: '90 Day Fiance' Spinoff Season 2 Premiere: Anfisa Is Back and Worse Than Ever (Exclusive Video) “I’m afraid of her,” Tara admitted of her relationship with orange-and-black feline, who was left for dead by her four-legged mom. The Animal Planet show then rolled a highlight reel of Cali drawing.

“I don’t even have a cat,” SummerUnicorn10 commented on a YouTube video posted by Hannah Shaw, aka The Kitten Lady. “Why am I watching this?”

The answer ­– the Washington, D.C.-based Shaw proves that even non-cat aficionados (We mean you, YouTube commenter Doug Ingram, who owns three dogs) can find joy in neonatal kitten rescue and care.

“I have no doubt this is having an impact,” said Shaw hours after returning from the Miami-Dade area where she hosted workshops for the 2017 Animal Care Expo conference, hosted by the Humane Society of the United States, and Miami-Dade Animal Services.

On tonight’s My Cat From Hell on Animal Planet, host and feline answer to the dog whisperer Jackson Galaxy has a real problem — May the cat, who attacks him over and over. Cat-behaviorist Jackson is no novice to difficult moggies but May is a special case. “I’m trying to get May to be in a relaxed state with me,” he says. When he tries to get her “normalized” she seems to get worse. And when May’s owners leave the room, the fur flies! May is not responding well to Jackson, who explains he is trying to rationalize with a cat...read more...

[[tmz:video id="0_7ftljt9t"]] Animal Planet's Jackson Galaxy is stepping up to solve Taylor Swift's cat troubles.  We got the unofficial cat whisperer and host of "My Cat from Hell" at Lax, and he said there's been a sea change -- cat ladies are in now, and that includes Ms. Swift ... who has two kitties.  Taylor's documented her feline issues -- the damn things won't let her sleep. It's an easy fix though, according to Jackson ... but she's...

Animal Planet's "My Cat From Hell" host Jackson Galaxy's former partners want to scratch his eyes out -- legally speaking ... because they say he's cheating them out of thousands.  According to the docs ... consulting producer Brian Rochlin and publicist Susan Mainzer say they had a deal with Galaxy -- he'd give them 10% of his take, and another 15% of any back-end money. Rochlin and Mainzer say Jackson started shorting them after 3 seasons of dutifully paying.

Among Ravens wants to be the The Big Chill with Gen-x assholes, a weird ambition.

It's the kind of film in which the setup is conveyed via a pre-dinner toast and couples pick fights at the table. Directed by Russell Friedenberg and Randy Redroad with the nuanced staging of little kids pushing the heads of dolls together ("Now, you two kiss!"), the film concerns an annoying group of obvious, badly written stereotypes that meets for an annual lake-house douche huddle. To wit: There's a male life coach assembled from 1990s Burning Man clichés, who looks like Buddy Hackett with Jackson Galaxy sideburns, beaded chokers, and a fucking ukulele. ("You just gotta keep it real," he says, in lieu of life advice.)

Saul (co-director Friedenberg) is a Rasputin-r...

In theory, it certainly seemed like a match made in heaven - the world's leading cat behaviorist and the world's craziest cat. In reality, however, things turned out differently for Jackson Galaxy, host of the Animal Planet show My Cat From Hell, and a 22-lb. feline named Lux, who made headlines around the planet in March when he allegedly flipped out on his owners, forcing them to call 911 for help. "In the 20 years I've been doing this, I've never met a cat like Lux," Galaxy tells People of his time spent trying to help the troubled feline, which viewers can...

The June 14 episode of Animal Planet’s My Cat From Hell will find host/cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy visiting Lux, the infamous “911 cat” with a “history of violence” who earlier this year made headlines by terrorizing his guardians so much that he forced them to call the emergency number. On the 911 call, the terrified family reported that they were shut off in a bedroom, with their infant and dog, as the crazed cat screeched in the background. “He’s trying to attack us,” the man who called the number told the dispatcher. Apparently, the cat would charge at them every … Continue reading →

You may not know the name Catie Wayne, but if you spent a lot of time on YouTube around 2009 or so, you're probably familiar with her alter ego: Boxxy. Wayne's excitable, rambling vlogs turned her most popular character into an Internet sensation, but she has recently expanded her presence to other endeavors. Wayne is the host of Weird, Gross, and Beautiful, a web series set starring the unusual members of the animal kingdom. Weird, Gross, and Beautiful is part of Discovery's Animalist network. The three adjectives in its title probably give you an idea of what it entails. Each episode will take on a different revolting critter, with Wayne explaining why it is beautiful, not ugly. She gushes about maggots in the first episodes, and by the time her vlog makes its way to botflies, its less "beautiful" and more "unbelievably horrifying." As with any other series on a Discovery vertical,...

The holiday season means many things to many people, but there's one thing it means for all of us: family couch time. There's a lot of sitting around in many of our very near futures, which also means a lot of scrolling through lists of shows in an attempt to reach a consensus, followed by the mutual "I don't care, whatever you guys want to watch" response, followed by silent seething. Let us help.My Cat From Hell (Netflix) Good for: All ages, including children; pet lovers; fans of Intervention, Hoarders et al, but also fans of The Dog Whisperer, Super Nanny, and lifestyle-guidance shows. The Pitch: Let's grant that host Jackson Galaxy has a very cultivated persona, with a silly name and a really silly beard and the job of being a cat whisperer. Fine. My Cat From Hell is still great on two fronts: First, holy moly, there...

Jackson Galaxy and the Internet share one very important thing in common: They both love cats. Galaxy, the host of My Cat From Hell on Animal Planet, is taking his unique appearance, Zen demeanor, and feline philosophy to YouTube. He is the host of Cat Mojo, a new web series affiliated with Revision3's Animalist vertical. On My Cat From Hell, Galaxy stars as a trainer who helps pet owners deal with their ill-tempered kitties. On the Internet, however, Galaxy is expanding his reach to include not just cats but also his secondary passion: music. He even wrote the show's theme song. In the first episode of Cat Mojo, Galaxy takes the time to discuss what viewers can expect from the series. "We're going to be doing stuff like giveaways...question and answer stuff, people on the street stuff," explains Galaxy. "I'm going to be interviewing some people who I...

Because there is seemingly no end to cat lovers, and no end to cats from hell, Animal Planet announced this morning it has renewed its series of the same name for a fifth season. My Cat From Hell will return in early 2014 with 16 episodes in which “cat listener” Jackson Galaxy visits homes to solve feline issues. The series recently completed its fourth season among Animal Planet’s top 10 series with women 18-49 and 25-54. The fourth season’s third, epic episode, “Penny Hates Puck” – both cats, Btw – clocked series highs, including 1.2 million viewers, more than a quarter million of whom were men 25-54. Of that 1.2 mil, 607,000 were 18-49 (363 of whom were women 18-49). In rough numbers: Penny hated Puck, Penny attacked Puck so often and so viciously, poor Puck was left utterly terrified, completely clawed up, and peeing on herself after every fight. McFh is produced for Animal Planet by Eyeworks USA.

Cat owners need to become more literate ... about reading cats.

Cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy wraps up his fourth season of Animal Planet's My Cat From Hell on Saturday (8/7c) and boils down why people misunderstand their feline friends. "We really try to read them through dog-colored glasses and are trying to look for these very specific types of responses that are very much human-based," Galaxy tells TVGuide.com. "And if we don't see them, we assume that they don't care.

Saturday nights on Animal Planet are devoted to pet-related programming, and that opens up a range of possibilities in what you might see on the network’s varied series on those evenings, from the soft, cuddly puppies and kitties of Too Cute! to the fiery felines and their overwhelmed owners featured in My Cat From Hell, which at first glance may appear to be anything but cute.
