Have you ever watched the show My Cat From Hell that airs on Animal Planet? The series is hosted by Jackson Galaxy – the “cat whisper” (similar to how Cesar Millan works with dogs).
In My Cat Fro Hell, Jackson Galaxy visits cat owners and their psycho cats to help them find solutions to their cats unwanted behaviors.
We have five cats. None of them are psycho (THANKFULLY!) but a couple of them have behaviors we wish we could stop. Take for example our eldest cat, Velcro. He likes to urinate under and around my desk, in front of the bedroom door and in front of the closet door.
With five cats its important to keep the litter box clean at all times. We clean it out several times per day. A dirty litter box is NOT why he does it. The litter box is cleaned all the time. We are fully convinced that he does it out of spite.
Velcro likes to have ice cubes in the water dish (he likes REALLY cold water). If he is at the dish meowing for ice and we don’t give it to him, it seems like that is when he urinates under the desk.
Doing it out of spite is the only thing we can think of. Aside from his Diabetes, he’s a healthy cat who gets plenty of love and affection.
Jackson Galaxy! We need you!
Anyway…
Jackson Galaxy has recently released his own line of pet toys and products, exclusively at PetSmart.
PetSmart was kind enough to send me a couple of products to review with our cats.
Jackson Galaxy™ Space Station Cat Toy
This has been a HUGE hit with our cats, most especially our youngest cat Bella and our middle cat, Anakin.
Bella loves to not only swat the little all found inside the Space Station, but she also figured out how to remove the ball and sometimes we catch her swatting it around in the kitchen or dining room (hardwood floors – rolls around faster than on the carpet).
Check out this brief video of Bella enjoying the Space Station Cat Toy.
This is toy, pet bed and scratcher all in one.
Our cat Anakin uses this as a bed. He LOVES sleeping in boxes, so for him, this was a natural fit.
The Space Station Cat Toy is much bigger than I thought it would be. Iniatially I thought it might be too big for our small condo, but it has not been an issue at all. Seeing as how Anakin is a big cat, I’m glad it’s big enough for him to sleep in.
So far only Bella has used the small scratch pad that is found inside of the “bowl.”
I love that this product serves more than one use too, so all of our cats can find something about it that they enjoy.
Jackson Galaxy™ The Vault Marinater Cat Toy
This isn’t really a toy – but it’s made FOR cat toys.
The plastic box has a smaller box inside. It also comes with a package of catnip.
To use, simply pour the included catnip (or your cat’s favorite catnip) into the outer sides on the inside of the box. Then place your cat’s favorite toy/toys in the middle box, close the lid and let it “marinate” for a few hours, or days. Whatever you see fit.
The catnip in the vault seeps into the toy, giving it a cat nip scent. If you have cats you know how much they LOVE cat nip. Even if the toy is not a cat nip toy you can make it one by marinating it into the Vault Marinater.
I don’t know how long the cat nip fragrance lasts, so I have replaced it a few times since I received this to review. I also rotate the toys so that different ones smell like cat nip.
These are two new products from the Jackson Galaxy line of cat toys and accessories sold exclusively at PetSmart. Here are a few more examples.
The toys are available both in stores and online at PetSmart.com. You can also check out PetSmart on social media. All links can be found on their website.
You can also learn more about Jackson Galaxy at JacksonGalaxy.com.
