Ep 4. Stalking Miss Daisy

In season 5 episode 4 of My Cat From Hell titled Stalking Miss Daisy, cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy is called to help a couple who are struggling with their cat, Daisy. Daisy is a beautiful, white, long-haired cat, but her behavior towards her owners has become increasingly aggressive. She has been known to attack them without warning and has even drawn blood.

Jackson arrives at the couple’s home to assess the situation and quickly discovers that Daisy is stalking her owners. She follows them around the house, watching their every move, and pounces on them when they least expect it. Jackson suspects that Daisy’s behavior is due to anxiety and stress.

He starts his work with the couple by teaching them to recognize Daisy’s body language and to anticipate when she is feeling anxious. He also encourages the couple to create a safe space for Daisy, where she can retreat when she feels threatened or overwhelmed. The couple takes Jackson’s advice and creates a space for Daisy in one of the bedrooms, complete with a comfortable bed, toys, and a scratching post.

He suggests using a wand toy to play with Daisy and to give her a chance to release her pent-up energy in a controlled and safe manner. The couple takes Jackson’s advice, and soon Daisy is playing like a kitten again.

The next step in Jackson’s plan is to address Daisy’s aggressive behavior towards her owners. He works with the couple to teach them how to approach Daisy in a non-threatening manner and how to redirect her behavior when she becomes aggressive. Jackson also advises the couple to use positive reinforcement to reward Daisy when she displays good behavior.

Throughout the episode, Jackson emphasizes the importance of communication between cat and owner. He encourages the couple to recognize when Daisy is communicating with them, whether it be through body language or vocalizations, and to respond appropriately.

As the episode progresses, the couple starts to see changes in Daisy’s behavior. She becomes more comfortable in her safe space, and her stalking and aggressive behavior towards her owners diminishes. She also becomes more playful and affectionate with them.

In the final scene of the episode, Jackson concludes his work with the couple by bringing Daisy outside into their beautiful garden. He watches as Daisy explores her surroundings, sniffing the flowers and chasing bugs. The couple is filled with joy as they watch Daisy enjoy her newfound freedom and happiness.
