About My Cat from Hell

Desperate families bring their cats and their stress into the spotlight, hoping a professional eye can untangle years of bad behavior. My Cat from Hell follows Jackson Galaxy as he studies how felines think and why mounting problems flare up in everyday homes. The show reframes pet issues as a mismatch of needs and signals rather than a simple act of misbehavior, and it focuses on practical steps families can take to restore harmony. Galaxy observes the cat's body language, social dynamics, and the household routines that feed or defuse tension. He coaches owners through staged demonstrations, feeding plans, and live anxiety management to pave the way for calmer coexistence.

The show premiered in 2011 on Animal Planet and centers on Jackson Galaxy appearing as himself, a cat behaviorist who guides families through hands-on advice.

Galaxy has helped popularize the idea that cats respond to understanding rather than punishment, turning at home coaching into a recognizable format for many pet owners. The series contributed to a broader interest in humane behavior modification for felines.

Viewers responded to the mix of empathy and practical tips, with a public rating of 7.433 out of 10 from 45 votes. The show centers on acceptance, patient training, and the bond between people and their cats as a path to safer homes.
