Galaxy's education and credentials include:

Bachelor of Arts in Theater from the University of Iowa (1991): While his degree is not directly related to cat behavior, his studies in theater and performance helped him to develop his skills in communication, empathy, and understanding human behavior, all of which are essential for working with cats and their owners.
Extensive experience working with cats in shelters and private practice: Galaxy's hands-on experience working with thousands of cats has given him a deep understanding of cat behavior and psychology. He has also developed a unique approach to cat behavior modification that emphasizes positive reinforcement and understanding the cat's perspective.
Published author of several books on cat behavior: Galaxy's books, including "Catify to Satisfy," "Catification," and "Total Cat Mojo," have helped to educate millions of people about cat behavior and how to create a harmonious home for cats and their owners.

The project provides grants, training, and resources to help shelters and rescues implement positive-reinforcement training and create cat-friendly environments.

Holistic Medicine

Some people might be weary of Jackson Galaxy due to his advocacy of holistic medicine for cats. I completely understand where you’re coming from.

Holistic medicine is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of alternative therapies, including herbal remedies, acupuncture, and homeopathy. While some people swear by holistic medicine, others are skeptical of its effectiveness and safety.

There is no scientific consensus on the effectiveness of holistic medicine for cats. Some studies have shown that certain holistic therapies may be helpful for specific conditions, while others have found no evidence of benefit. In some cases, holistic therapies may even be harmful to cats. For example, some herbal remedies can interact with prescription medications or cause side effects.
