Publisher Description
A capacidade de Jackson Galaxy em se relacionar com os felinos mais problemáticos – já para não falar do stresse causado na relação com os seus donos – é inspiradora. Neste livro, Galaxy conta a marcante história da sua relação de treze anos com um gato de pequeno porte, de pelo curto, chamado Benny, e dá conselhos para quem vive, cuida e ama o felino que tem em casa. Quando Benny chegou à sua vida, Galaxy vivia uma fase muito conturbada, com dependências e isolamento, era artista de rock e trabalhava em part-time num abrigo para animais.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The famed "Cat Daddy" from Animal Planet's My Cat from Hell, with coauthor Derfner, has written an unconventional memoir documenting his path to sobriety and unexpected career as a cat behaviorist, with instructions and tricks for training and disciplining cats sprinkled throughout. Inspired by his years fostering, training, and eventually adopting an emotionally and physically broken cat named Benny, Galaxy vows to write a book "about how we cohealed, how we refused to let each other live broken ever after." While Galaxy doesn't deny his addictions to alcohol, drugs, and food, the gritty struggles of addiction are often glossed over. Instead, Galaxy focuses on the story of his career, which includes developing a consulting business called Little Big Cat, which helps cat owners manage problematic pets instead of dumping them at shelters, and thus reducing the number of cats euthanized because of space. Through his work, he finds his purpose as a "cat whisperer." Galaxy's candor earns the reader's trust, without being hackneyed; he seamlessly weaves his relationship with Benny into the larger story of his life and recovery, which will appeal to a readership beyond cat lovers.
