Ep 2. Fifi's Ruining My Love Life

My Cat From Hell is a popular American TV show that features cat behaviorist, Jackson Galaxy as he helps cat owners to solve different types of behavioural issues with their cats. Season 1 includes 6 episodes, and episode 2 is named Fifi's Ruining My Love Life.

In this episode, we meet couple Stephanie and Josh who are having problems with their cat, Fifi. Stephanie has owned Fifi since she was a kitten, and the couple has been together for 3 years. They recently moved in together, but the cat now dominates their time and space. Fifi is a beautiful, grey, fluffy cat that loves to be petted, but she also has a very strong personality. She does not like to be told what to do and is very jealous of Stephanie's affection. Josh is starting to feel that he has become the third wheel in their relationship and thinks that Fifi is ruining their love life.

When Jackson arrives, he quickly sees that Fifi is a real diva. She has a huge impact on the relationship and is causing stress and tension in the household. Jackson's first step is to take a closer look at Fifi's environment. He checks the litter box, the toys, and the scratching post. He discusses the feeding schedule, the watering routine, and the sleeping arrangements with Stephanie and Josh. Jackson wants to make sure that Fifi has everything she needs to feel comfortable and relaxed in her home.

Next, Jackson observes Fifi's behaviour towards Stephanie and Josh. He quickly notices that Fifi has claimed Stephanie as her own and doesn't like it when Josh tries to join in. Fifi scratches, hisses and bites Josh when he comes too close. Jackson identifies this as a clear sign of Fifi marking her territory and being possessive. This type of behaviour is not uncommon in cats, and Jackson is confident that he can help Stephanie and Josh to change Fifi's attitude.

To start, Jackson recommends a new feeding routine that involves feeding Fifi two smaller meals per day. This way, Fifi will not feel like she has to guard her food, and she will not be hungry for too long. Jackson also recommends a new sleeping arrangement where Fifi sleeps in a separate room. This way, Stephanie and Josh can have their bedroom to themselves and can start to rekindle their romance.

Jackson also works with Stephanie and Josh to assert their authority over Fifi. He teaches them different techniques to use when Fifi is aggressive, and he shows them how to play with Fifi using different toys. Jackson also recommends a new type of scratching post that Fifi will love. By providing alternative ways for Fifi to show her dominance, Jackson hopes to decrease her aggression towards Josh.

Throughout the episode, we see Jackson makes progress with Fifi, Stephanie, and Josh. He creates a plan specifically tailored to Fifi's needs, and through his patience and persistence, he manages to change her behaviour. By the end of the episode, Fifi is no longer ruining their love life, and instead, Stephanie and Josh have found a way to include Fifi in their relationship.

My Cat From Hell is an entertaining and educational show that cat owners everywhere can relate to. Jackson Galaxy's approach to cat behaviour is compassionate and effective, and it is clear that he genuinely cares about the welfare of the cats he works with. Fifi's Ruining My Love Life is a must-see episode for anyone who has a cat that is causing disruption in their home.
