Hahah so it turns out that the other day at my birthday party down here, a friend of mine knows this guy! She said she's a longtime friend of his girlfriend, and says he's actually pretty cool in real life. I dunno, I was more bemused by the show than anything else.

He reminds me of this asshole I know who goes by D@ve-O and has annoying catch phrases. For example, if he shows up at a party and someone says, Hey, it's good to see you D@ve-O, he says "It's good to be seen!" He would think this cat idiot was super cool.

He looks awful but he's actually a pretty decent guy from what I can tell.

He's a geek and sartorially embarrassing, but he knows cats. Cats really aren't that hard to figure out: the crazy ones need to play hunt, the mean ones are hurt or don't have a quiet spot to be alone, the ones with bad bathroom behavior are sick or have a grungy, badly placed or inappropriate litter box, and they all appreciate a little cat style communication (blinking, purr-talking, petting). I don't think he's a genius, but I do think a lot of cat owners are idiots.

Cats are pretty simple andf ppl are, indeed, prone to be idiots. This is essentially the entire premise of the show.

Would be interested to know how he deals with cats who weren't properly weaned off their mama's teat, as this has been the case with every broken cat I've ever known. Also is some variant of this problem the reason why he makes himself look like that.

michael white and grady otm: the look is a huge, huge problem, but he seems like a decent guy, and he clearly knows & loves cats. figure his appearance is some consequence of horrible LA style and the need for everybody on TV to have some kind of trademark (same thing, i guess).

I don't have a lot of experience with improperly weaned cats who are terrified of everything (because I like to adopt the ones that will talk to me in the shelter), but the ones who don't know their limits in playfighting because of early socialization issues aren't too hard to deal with: control your fear and don't react big, punish only by ignoring, and (as Galaxy says every episode because, duh, these are cats), make sure they're playing enough and have appropriate stuff to kill. That's worked for me a couple of times.

This does not fix all problems, and is an oversimplification. There are so many different things that can be going on with cats.

lol, j/k. i agree with you in general, but but i have experienced a number of cat problems that don't fit easily into one of those groups. imbalances in dominance behavior among multiple cats, for instance, or the psychological/behavioral consequences of improper weaning (can be a real problem with kittens lost or abandoned very early on). there are general "rules" that apply to most cats, and i think you described them quite well, but like any living thing, there's still an enormous amount of variety from individual to individual. some cats are just outliers, have weird little fur-brains.

Declawing and abuse can both have damaging psychological effects on a cat, and I don't think the solutions are always as simple as giving the cat space or toys, etc.

Anybody familiar with Jackson’s show My Cat from Hell (currently filming Season 3) has witnessed—and marveled at—how the man connects with cats, winning over even the toughest cases with his trademark “cat mojo.” (Like MCFH, the book includes lots of practical advice about behavior, nutrition, and environmental enrichment—or “catification”—for readers, whether their cats are from Hell or not.)
