Ep 5. Cat Fight!

In season 2 episode 5 of My Cat From Hell, titled "Cat Fight!", cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy is called to help two cats who have been fighting constantly and causing chaos in their household.

The first cat, Molly, is a 15-year-old Siamese who has lived with her owner since she was a kitten. She has always been the only cat in the household, but when her owner took in a stray cat named Fatty, Molly's behavior changed drastically. She became aggressive towards Fatty and began urinating all over the house. Molly's owner is at her wit's end and fears she may have to give Molly away if things don't improve.

The second cat, Monkey, is a two-year-old Bengal who was adopted by a couple looking for a playful companion for their older cat, Bonnie. However, Monkey's playful nature quickly turned into aggressive behavior towards Bonnie. Monkey chases Bonnie relentlessly and attacks her whenever she tries to eat or use the litter box. The couple is worried about Bonnie's well-being and the stress that the constant fighting is causing in their household.

Jackson observes both cats' behavior and decides to implement some behavior modification techniques to address their aggression. For Molly, he recommends introducing her to Fatty slowly and using positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior. He also suggests using pheromone sprays to help calm Molly's anxiety.

With Monkey, Jackson recommends giving him more outlets for his energy and redirecting his playfulness towards toys instead of Bonnie. He also suggests creating separate feeding and litter areas for both cats to reduce territorial behavior.

Throughout the episode, Jackson uses his expertise to help the cats and their owners understand each other better and create a more harmonious household. He emphasizes the importance of providing cats with a safe and stimulating environment to prevent behavior problems and encourages owners to seek professional help if their cats are exhibiting aggressive behavior.

By the end of the episode, both Molly and Monkey have made progress in their behavior and their owners are relieved to see a positive change in their household dynamics. My Cat From Hell continues to showcase the importance of understanding and working with cats' natural behaviors to create a happy and healthy living environment for both cats and their owners.
