00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.620


00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:07.340
Live from the cat
cave in downtown God

00:00:07.340 --> 00:00:10.385
knows where next to the
washer and the dryer,

00:00:10.385 --> 00:00:13.520
it's Cat Mojo with
Jackson Galaxy.

00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:23.340


00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:25.130
Welcome, welcome to Cat Mojo.

00:00:25.130 --> 00:00:28.115
I'm Jackson Galaxy
live from the cat cave.

00:00:28.115 --> 00:00:30.870
It is actually looking more like
a cave these days, isn't it?

00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:32.369
There's all kinds
of fun stuff here.

00:00:32.369 --> 00:00:33.820
I wanted to point this out.

00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:37.630
Diane Dial in Florida,
thank you, Diane,

00:00:37.630 --> 00:00:40.500
for sending this
picture, this painting,

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:42.356
of my lovely cat Caroline.

00:00:42.356 --> 00:00:44.900
Don't you see the
resemblance, Caroline?

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:49.100
It will become a permanent
fixture in the cat cave.

00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:52.080
Let's talk about Cat Mojo 101.

00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:52.789
What is cat mojo?

00:00:52.789 --> 00:00:54.871
We've talked about this
before, but let's bring up

00:00:54.871 --> 00:00:56.470
that little dictionary
looking thing.

00:00:56.470 --> 00:00:59.990
It says cat mojo, what
motivates all cats.

00:00:59.990 --> 00:01:00.830
It's very simple.

00:01:00.830 --> 00:01:04.739
The fact is that it wasn't
until about 120 years ago

00:01:04.739 --> 00:01:09.040
that we permanently brought
cats into our houses.

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.640
And that means that they
live a very pure existence.

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.960
They still have it hardwired
in their brain to hunt.

00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:20.970
And that is the first
thing about cat mojo,

00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:22.630
hunt, catch, kill, eat.

00:01:22.630 --> 00:01:25.180
What's the second thing that's
so important about cat mojo?

00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:26.780
What motivates them?

00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:30.100
Well, with the hunting, and
the catching, and the killing,

00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:33.100
and the eating comes
the owning, right?

00:01:33.100 --> 00:01:35.170
It's all about ownership.

00:01:35.170 --> 00:01:38.122
Cats need to own
their territory.

00:01:38.122 --> 00:01:40.120
If they don't own
their territory,

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.810
bad things will happen
to them or to you.

00:01:44.810 --> 00:01:47.460
So first we have
the confident owner

00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:50.370
of territory, the one
who walks in chest

00:01:50.370 --> 00:01:52.350
held high, tail in
that backwards question

00:01:52.350 --> 00:01:55.290
mark, everything
relaxed, comes up to you,

00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:57.180
gives you a little
head butt, weaving

00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:00.250
in and out of your legs,
blinky eyes at you,

00:02:00.250 --> 00:02:01.775
that kind of thing,
very confident.

00:02:01.775 --> 00:02:02.920
Now, who is that cat?

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.580
If they were a person,
you would come in

00:02:05.580 --> 00:02:08.660
at a party, a cocktail
party, knocking at the door.

00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:10.699
They open the door
with a tray of mojitos.

00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:12.540
And would you like
one of these mojitos?

00:02:12.540 --> 00:02:14.500
Cucumber, a little bit
of cucumber in here,

00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:16.000
I thought you'd
like that very much.

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.584
Welcome to my house.

00:02:17.584 --> 00:02:18.750
Don't you love it very much?

00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:19.250
Come on.

00:02:19.250 --> 00:02:20.180
I'll give you a tour.

00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:23.000
Mojito cat, that's
who mojito cat is.

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.350
Number two, Napoleon
cat, aka the over-owner,

00:02:27.350 --> 00:02:28.500
who is that cat?

00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.170
The chest out, a little bit
of the ears forward glaring

00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:33.700
at you a little
bit, eyes zeroing

00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:35.575
in on you just a
little, going down

00:02:35.575 --> 00:02:38.490
in that offensive,
aggressive posture,

00:02:38.490 --> 00:02:42.060
perhaps laying down across
the doorway of the house

00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:43.560
to make sure you've
got to step over

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.680
that line, peeing on things.

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.100
Yes, peeing, because
they don't trust

00:02:49.100 --> 00:02:51.400
their ownership
of the territory.

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.520
All whether they're
people or animals who

00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.170
don't trust their
territory over-own, right?

00:02:58.170 --> 00:03:01.970
Hence Napoleon, or sort
of a gang mentality.

00:03:01.970 --> 00:03:03.930
You see the writing on the wall?

00:03:03.930 --> 00:03:05.190
I own this.

00:03:05.190 --> 00:03:06.740
Why does that come
out like that?

00:03:06.740 --> 00:03:08.050
Why you puff up like that?

00:03:08.050 --> 00:03:11.610
You do that, man, because
you are not confident

00:03:11.610 --> 00:03:13.540
that you own the joint.

00:03:13.540 --> 00:03:14.750
So you over-own.

00:03:14.750 --> 00:03:16.560
That is Napoleon Cat.

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.445
Number three, that
would be the wallflower.

00:03:20.445 --> 00:03:25.140
In cat world, the wallflower
literally hugs the wall.

00:03:25.140 --> 00:03:26.940
In the meantime, the
over-owner laying

00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:30.230
across the doorway, the mojito
cat just walking around,

00:03:30.230 --> 00:03:31.190
hey, how you doing?

00:03:31.190 --> 00:03:33.960
Then you've got The Wallflower
hanging back against the wall,

00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:35.970
never walking across
the middle of the floor.

00:03:35.970 --> 00:03:36.969
That would never happen.

00:03:36.969 --> 00:03:40.140
In the meantime, they are
going, I don't own this.

00:03:40.140 --> 00:03:42.460
You, you, you're the owner?

00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:44.324
Fine, fine, I'm
not looking at you.

00:03:44.324 --> 00:03:44.990
I'm not looking.

00:03:44.990 --> 00:03:47.630
I'm just going to the
litter box over there.

00:03:47.630 --> 00:03:50.390
I'm just leaving, goodbye.

00:03:50.390 --> 00:03:51.810
That's the wallflower.

00:03:51.810 --> 00:03:54.870
Now, I want all cats
to be the mojito cat.

00:03:54.870 --> 00:03:56.450
That's what I strive for.

00:03:56.450 --> 00:03:59.560
If they are the over-owner,
if they are the wallflower,

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:00.700
we got problems.

00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:03.660
Cat Mojo 101, your
homework assignment

00:04:03.660 --> 00:04:06.200
is take a look at your cat.

00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:07.600
Watch them walk into a room.

00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:10.310
Watch them interact with
other cats and other humans.

00:04:10.310 --> 00:04:13.174
And figure out who they
are, who they resemble.

00:04:13.174 --> 00:04:14.590
If they're a
wallflower, we've got

00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:15.970
to bring them out a little bit.

00:04:15.970 --> 00:04:16.959
If they're an
over-owner, we've got

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.060
to bring them back a little bit.

00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:18.620
Why?

00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:21.970
Because we want everyone
to be the mojito cat.

00:04:21.970 --> 00:04:26.284
That is the quest, the
quest for the mojito cat.

00:04:26.284 --> 00:04:27.700
That's what we're
getting at here.

00:04:27.700 --> 00:04:29.030
But figure out who your cat is.

00:04:29.030 --> 00:04:31.940
Watch him walk around the
joint, because that's the thing.

00:04:31.940 --> 00:04:34.860
Do they display confident
ownership of territory?

00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:37.710
Are you encouraging your
cat to hunt, catch, kill,

00:04:37.710 --> 00:04:40.250
and eat through play
every single day?

00:04:40.250 --> 00:04:42.340
Are you feeling them a
bio-appropriate diet?

00:04:42.340 --> 00:04:44.180
Because that will
also feed in- ha ha

00:04:44.180 --> 00:04:48.670
no pun intended-- to that
healthy lifestyle of every cat.

00:04:48.670 --> 00:04:50.390
That's what you want
to be looking at.

00:04:50.390 --> 00:04:52.795
Until next time, do
take a look at all

00:04:52.795 --> 00:04:55.000
of these different places
you can hook up with me.

mojo-licious news coming up

00:04:58.750 --> 00:05:01.010
really soon,

00:05:01.010 --> 00:05:02.570
Google Hangouts live.

00:05:02.570 --> 00:05:04.650
I can answer questions
for you guys,

00:05:04.650 --> 00:05:07.540
tell you what's coming up in
the world of the cat cave.

00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:09.200

00:05:11.630 --> 00:05:13.182
I'll answer your
questions, and we're

00:05:13.182 --> 00:05:14.640
going to talk more
about declawing.

00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:16.810
So stay tuned for
more information.

00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:20.620
But, man, get that on your
calendar and do it now.

00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:21.990
Hey, I hope that helped.

00:05:21.990 --> 00:05:24.500
I hope you get the
concept of cat mojo

00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:27.240
even more so than before.

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:28.320
Take a look at your cats.

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:31.540
Remember every cat is an
individual, just like people

00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:35.700
and snowflakes, except there
is a place where we all start.

00:05:35.700 --> 00:05:38.450
And that's an important
thing to figure out, OK?

00:05:38.450 --> 00:05:44.400
Until next we meet, folks,
all light, all love, all mojo.

00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:44.900
Love you.

00:05:44.900 --> 00:05:55.357
