Cat Daddy's Book Signing!
Most of you may know that I share my home with a few kitties. I'm proud to say that I get along pretty well with my feline fursibs, most of the time.... but that's a tale for another day, BOL!
A couple of week's ago, mom read that Jackson Galaxy, the star of My Cat From Hell, was on a book signing tour and one of his stops was in New Jersey!
Mom believes our kitties are little angels, but she loves what Jackson is able to accomplish with other kitties and their families. It's so important that people understand why their pets behave (or misbehave) and that they learn how to make positive changes. This would keep so many dogs and cats out of the shelters if people could work on this *shaking head*.
The signing was held at the Clinton Bookstore, an independent bookshop located in one of mom's favorite towns.
Harvey Finkel, the owner, had everything very organized. He laid out the ground rules before the crowd entered and made sure that the event ran smoothly. What a crowd!
It was a warm, humid day but everyone kept their cool. Because Jackson is from the New York area, his family was able to come with him to the signing. His father was so nice, asking mom how many cats we have, baroooo! I might have told him too many, but I digress. She did mention that she had a big coonhound, meaning me (thank goodness!). She was so impressed by Jackson's down to earth, calm demeanor. What a nice guy! She mentioned that we follow each other on Twitter, so look at his autograph:
Needless to say, she was thrilled! This Jackson fella looks like somebody I'd love to romp with, if he ever gets some time away from helping people with their kitties!
(That's mom, with Jackson's dad in the background.)
And a big kitty outside the bookstore!
Thanks fur visiting buddies! And thank you to the sponsors of the Saturday Blog Hop, Confessions of the Plume , Two Little Caveliers and Life With Dogs !

wow, so he's like, a kitty whisperer? I didnt know people expected kitties to do as they are told :/ ours still do naughty things like attack powercords or the new couch occasionally, though they seem to be growing out of it.
ReplyDeleteHe really gets down to the problem with a kitty's behavior! Mom says he's amazing! Thanks fur stopping by!
DeleteCongratulations on the book signing.

I saw Cat Daddy's book the other day - wow, he does a lot for cats in need and their people. Thanks for sharing, Prudence; what a nice, personal autograph!
ReplyDeleteAwesome my friend!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool that you got to meet him!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why it never occurred to me that cats could use someone to help us understand their behavior sometimes too but it hadn't.
ReplyDeleteVery cool that your mom got to meet him. Love the autograph! I'm going to go check out his book. Thanks for the tip!
