## What critics say

Viewers and critics generally find it a warm, practical animal-behavior series, though its case-of-the-week formula feels repetitive over time.

## Synopsis

My Cat from Hell (2011-2020) is a US reality series that aired on Animal Planet and TLC, following cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy as he visits households at the end of their patience. Across eleven seasons and roughly a hundred episodes, Galaxy arrives at homes where a cat is biting, spraying, attacking visitors, or breaking up relationships, and the engine of each episode is a diagnosis: he observes the animal's environment, routines and stresses, then works with exhausted owners to change the space and the daily habits around the pet. The format is a case-of-the-week structure with a consistent rhythm of intake, intervention and follow-up, so each episode stands on its own while the series as a whole builds a steady catalogue of feline troubles. The tone is warm, practical and sincerely hopeful, with a patient, empathetic regard for animals and the people who love them. Viewers who enjoy The Dog Whisperer or It's Me or the Dog will find a similar blend of expert coaching and emotional payoff, delivered with the gentle reassurance of a show that never treats the cat as the villain.
