Full of DIY tutorials, tips for understanding your cat's specific needs, plenty of examples to draw inspiration from, and other essential ingredients you'll need to create a home that is suited for both your feline companion (or companions) and your sense of design. Due to its focus on filling the pages with large, high quality photos and easy-to-follow, illustrated DIY tutorials (drawn by local graphic designer Catherine Madrid), Catification is like no other book on the market.

One of my favorite things about Catification is that is encourages pet parents and cat lovers to look through the eyes of a cat. It is a funny and informative book with lots of tips that will get you excited about how you can make your cat even happier about being in your forever home! Even if your cat seems pleased with their environment, I recommend taking a look at this book.

Praise for Cat Daddy:

"A joy. . . . Sometimes the biggest stories are actually the smallest ones one man, one cat, and a quiet love that was large enough to save them both."
Gwen Cooper, author of the New York Times bestseller Homer's Odyssey and Love Saves the Day

"This book is no ordinary cat memoir, nor is it an ordinary cat advice book. It is an inspirational tour de force that offers an intimate glimpse of Jackson, the man, and Jackson, the Cat Daddy."
Ingrid King, publisher and founder, The Conscious Cat, and award-winning author of Buckley's Story: Lessons from a Feline Master Teacher

"Mr. Galaxy shaved head, arms full of tattoos seems physically at odds with his gentle voice and gentle approach to animals. . . . But though he may be dealing with humans who have been terrorized and even bloodied by their out-of-control pets, he's a model of consistency. The cats, not the people, are his No. 1 priority."
