Jackson Galaxy and the Hero Cat
Last week, I previewed for readers that Jackson Galaxy, the colorful host of My Cat from Hell on Animal Planet, was to be a keynote speaker at the opening session of the HSUS Animal Care Expo. The event this week attracted animal advocates from 40 countries and all 50 U.S. states. I sat down with Jackson for an interview after his speech and we had a conversation about the high rates of euthanasia for cats, why cats still don't get the respect they deserve, and why the "hero cat" (who put a quick end to a dog attack on a child by hurling his body at the dog, as well as the best movie action star could have done) tells us more about the brains than the brawn of cats.
