Welcome to Getting Curious, I'm Jonathan Venice, and every week I sit down for a 40 minute conversation with a brilliant expert to learn all about something that makes me curious.

On today's episode, I'm joined by cat behavior expert, host of Animal Planets, My Cat From Hell, and co-founder of Jackson

Galaxy's Cat Camp, Jackson Galaxy, where I ask him, how can I be a better cat parent?

And how can I get others into being cat people too?

Welcome to getting curious. I'm Jonathan Van Ness and I am so excited. I am almost too excited if there was such a thing for this week's episode because we have and none other

Then the host of my cat from hell on Animal Planet he is a best-selling author on cat behavior.

He runs, well actually I don't want to say what he runs because it'll give away who it is,

but he runs this incredible cat camp every year that's usually in real life,

but this year it's going to be virtual because obviously COVID-19 but without any further

it's as Kathy Dooley would say welcome to the show Jackson Galaxy

Hey, how are you? Oh my God, I'm so good to let me tell you something.

Is it accurate to say that I discovered you in 2015?

Your YouTube's been around that long, right?

I've been around since like 2009.

Oh my God, if you're great, because I wanted to say 2012,

but then I was afraid that you were going to be like,

oh, it didn't start till 2015, so then I lied and said 2015,

because really it was

2012 it feels like yeah it feels like a lifetime well I was I accidentally had

impulse adopted my current eight seven and a half- old cat Harry Larry from the West LA

animal shelter on Pico Boulevard and I already had like a seven year old and I it all

happened so fast I didn't even wake up realizing I was going to get a second cap but it happened and so then I was like oh my gosh how am I going to introduce them and that's when I found you on YouTube and I've been talking about you to all my clients and frankly anyone that would listen ever since.
