DECLAWING CATS: just DON'T do it!Join Jackson Galaxy LIVE in his SECOND CAT MOJO Lecture Series on Google+ Hangout !

If ever there was a reason to join Google+  this is it!




When Cody and I were contacted yesterday asking us if we would help spread this info we were more than happy to do it!

We are long-time fans of Jackson Galaxy, who is a  "cat behaviorist by day, and rock 'n roller by night" as well as the host of the hit TV Show on The Animal Planet, "My Cat From Hell."

Jackson knew long ago that he had a deep understanding of animal behavior and a gift for enlightening people on how to identify with their pet’s actions. With his repertoire of holistic remedies and techniques like the “Cat I Love You,” Jackson can connect with even the most out of control feline and help strengthen the bond between pet and owner.. His first book, which we had the honor of reviewing, Cat Daddy: What the World’s Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life,Love, and Coming Clean  tells the story of how his work with animals helped him overcome drug addiction and personal hardships, and his second book Catification is due to publish in early 2015.

About Cat Mojo: Cat Mojo is an outlet for feline expert, Jackson Galaxy, to share his thoughts on all things cat related- from declawing, the essence of 'cat mojo', to squirt gun diplomacy, and of course Jackson's craziest behind the scene stories as a cat behaviorist. Join the feline frenzy at http://animalist.com/catmojo#about-show and share Jackson’s love of cats and expertise. #TeamCatMojo

STOPPING THE DECLAWING OF CATS is a cause that is super important to us. Declawing leaves cats defenseless, it can cause a bevy of behavior problems, as well as physical problems and is CRUEL.  We are grateful that Jackson will be addressing this issue and will education people about what they CAN DO INSTEAD.
