Plot Synopsis

Cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy travels across America to help feisty felines curb their kitty habits and mentor couples so they can rescue themselves from their pet nightmare. Using cat toys and training aides, Jackson forms a personal connection with problem kittens so he can investigate why these cute cats turned into unruly felines. Then Jackson works with the cats and owners together, drawing on his 15 years of experience and proven training techniques perfected at countless animal shelters.

MY CAT FROM HELL returned for its fifth season on Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT on Animal Planet.

This season, Galaxy returns to familiar territory with new cases in Austin, Los Angeles and San Diego, as he gets whisker to whisker with the cats on their turf, and things get mighty catty: a bloodthirsty cat in Austin attacks its guardian's clients and threatens her at-home business; a urine-crazed feline in LA forces her owners to wear facemasks to avoid the pungent smell; and for the first time, Galaxy encounters a cat that may not fall for his trademark slow blink technique that thus far has tamed the most ferocious felines.

On Saturday, April 4, 2015 at 8pm ET/PT on Animal Planet, MY CAT FROM HELL returned for a 10-episode seventh season, with Jackson continuing to correct cat behavior and improve relationships between felines and their guardians.

Jackson's first client of the season is model and social media star Adrianne Curry and her menacing cat, Billy Shears. When Billy isn't playing with his poop or meowing at all hours of the night, he's destroying their 1920s art deco apartment with his scratching. Jackson also counsels other high-profile cases, including the Internet-famous Jimmy Slap cat and a former Real Housewife of Orange County, who is dealing with a different kind of cat fight! Plus, Jackson deals with a kitten that refuses to make friends with the litter box (possibly because its owner insists on dressing it up) as well as a cat obsessed with licking its humans and a couple who is held prisoner by a bloodthirsty feline.

In the season opener, "Crazy Cat Opens Doors," Jackson counsels a couple who admit they are worried for their baby when their cat, Sebastian, becomes increasingly aggressive - so aggressive he even injures Jackson. Then, with the strategic use of catification and playtime, Jackson teaches a guardian how to satisfy his Savannah hybrid's natural hunting instinct indoors...instead of outside in coyote territory. Jackson also works with a door opening wild cat, Zeus, who is threatening to leave his owner. Plus, Jackson shares a "My Cat from Heaven" story about a lifesaving cat from Ohio.

Plus, in order to save the lives of 50 kittens due to overcrowded shelters, Jackson enlists renowned kitten expert Hannah Shaw to drive 16 hours with him from Los Angeles to Colorado's Boulder Humane -- the shelter where he got his start -- which has agreed to take them in and find them loving homes. The series' segment, "My Cat from Heaven," returns with heartwarming stories exemplifying the healing power of the feline, including a cat and his guardian who lift each other's spirit as they both fight chronic diseases, a cat who brings comfort to hospital patients of all ages and a young cat who becomes a surrogate to foster kittens.

The season kicks off with back-to-back episodes and continues each Saturday night. During the season, Jackson faces one of his greatest cat challenges when an old friend and animal welfare expert enlists his help to create a community movement and to recruit a new generation of volunteers to save feral cats in Philadelphia. Other stories include Jackson helping to shine a light on a prison program called Meow Mates that integrates foster cats into corrections facilities to help rehabilitate inmates; and working with a foster guardian desperate to save a cat from being euthanized in an episode with one of the most miraculous MY CAT FROM HELL outcomes in the history of the series. Additional stories this season include Jackson coming to the aid of a Delaware-based veteran suffering from PTSD whose therapy cat seems to bring him far more stress than comfort, and a high stakes situation where Jackson encounters the vicious claws of a troubled cat terrorizing a family as they are about to bring home a newborn baby.
