Every cat lover is likely familiar with Jackson Galaxy, widely known as the “Cat Daddy.” With over two decades dedicated to resolving feline and human behavior challenges, he has become a trusted figure for those seeking harmony with their feline companions. His profound understanding of feline psychology led to the popular Animal Planet show, “My Cat from Hell,” which has resonated globally, helping countless individuals decipher their cats’ actions and needs. We at solcat.net deeply admire his work, as any effort that contributes to the well-being and happiness of cats in their homes is something we wholeheartedly support. While Feline Nutrition focuses on the dietary aspect of cat health, we recognize the significance of Galaxy’s broader approach to feline welfare.
Jackson Galaxy has long been a proponent of feeding cats diets that are biologically appropriate. On his show, he frequently advises against free-feeding and the inclusion of dry food in a cat’s daily meals. Recently, Jackson invited Margaret Gates of Feline Nutrition to his internet show, “Cat Mojo Show,” to delve into the crucial topic of feline diet. This opportunity allowed us to connect with the engaged audience of “My Cat from Hell” and introduce the advantages of bio-appropriate feeding to a wider community. We value every chance to contribute to the cause of feline happiness and health!
During the discussion, Margaret shared the origins of Feline Nutrition, stemming from a pivotal realization about the natural diets of cats, both domestic and wild. More and more pet owners are discovering the benefits of raw food diets for their cats. Interestingly, veterinarians, whose nutritional education is often limited, are increasingly learning about bio-appropriate diets from their own clients who have embraced raw cat food.
The conversation highlighted the detrimental effects of dry food on cats, even grain-free varieties. We explored the clear link between diet and prevalent feline diseases such as diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Margaret also outlined the numerous positive transformations observed in cats when transitioned to raw food diets. The video also showcased the Feline Nutrition website, guiding viewers to resources for further learning about properly feeding their obligate carnivore companions.

We encourage you to explore his “Cat Mojo Show” and “Q&A Hangouts” available on his website and YouTube channel for a wealth of valuable cat-related content! Here’s to the health and happiness of all kitties!
