His most comprehensive cat care guide to date, here Jackson Galaxy shows readers how to eliminate feline behavioral problems by understanding their instinctive behavior.
Cat Mojo is the confidence that cats exhibit when they are at ease in their environment and in touch with their natural instincts—to hunt, catch, kill, eat, groom, and sleep. And when cats lack confidence, that is when problem like litter box avoidance and aggression arise. That’s why Jackson’s most important piece of advice is to help cats harness their mojo. From getting kittens off to the right start socially, to taking care of cats in their senior years, and everything in between, this book addresses their physical and emotional needs from head to toe—whether related to grooming, nutrition, or just a stress-free trip to the vet.

Total Cat Mojo
By Animallover on Apr 14, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
If you have a cat(s) buy this book! J.G. talks about cats over the centuries and how we came to keep them indoors and how to meet their needs. Not your average cat care book. You'll understand cats a whole lot better after reading this book.

Top Cat advice!
By janestevenson on Oct 16, 2019
We have two dogs and one cat, and recently adopted a second cat (kitten). I have zero experience with cat/cat introductions so purchased this book for some advice. In addition to answering about every single question I had on this topic, there is a wealth of other information that I had also not considered with cats in our household. I am happy to say that my instincts were pretty good and so have managed to not screw anything up too badly!, but I have since added an additional litter box, and made a few tweaks here and there with feeding, etc. There is also amazing information about the history of cats and other very cool and fun facts. I LOVE this book and will use it as a reference for We have two dogs and one cat, and recently adopted a second cat (kitten).

This is an excellent book, I would definitely recommend it to beginners and experienced owners looking to brush up on their "catology." It's on our shelf!

Good for what is in a cats mind.
By Sampson on Aug 14, 2019
Doesn’t say what to do if you only have a very small house and what to do when trying to separate them. Good book for explaining a cat if that is what you need. Doesn’t address kittens enough.

Good book by Jackson Galaxy
By Allie on Apr 24, 2019
A lot of good information easy to read It’s by the same person who has the TV show. I have other cat books this is my favorite. He really understands cats psychologically plus physically. He also has a UTube channel, and sells his own products.
