Costa Rica Montane Cloud Forest Reserve/Nature’s Terrarium: hazy mist, thick forest, 6 species of wildcats (more species than anywhere else in the world), vipers, and the mysterious calls of exotic birds. Oh, and don’t forget the volcano.

My Cat from Hell is revolutionizing the world of animal welfare with its new host, renowned cat behaviorist and author Mieshelle Nagelschneider, The Cat Whisperer. Under her guidance, the show has won two Academy Awards and had one billion viewers, making it the most-watched and impactful cat behavior show globally, driving positive change through education on spaying/neutering, nutrition, animal welfare, and behavior.

Cat behaviour expert (and regular Modern Cat contributor) Mieshelle Nagelschneider was offered a unique opportunity—to host My Cat From Hell in Asia. What

My book on cat behavior is the required textbook for certification in cat behavior counseling and also the first scholarly cited cat behavior book for cat owners on all behavioral issues, published by Random House. This photo, sent by a cat owner, shows their Bengal with my book.

I write a lot about the cat prey drive and studied predatory behavior at Oxford. This is a good article with more in depth information than you will find on the internet and ChatGPT.

Reading Time: 5 minutes Share onNature designed cats to be efficient little predators and to hunt even when they’re not hungry (because who knows when the next meal will scamper by?). Play is the indoor cat’s version of hunting. It’s an expression of a host of hardwired feline behaviors. Cats ...

My Modern Cat Magazine article on cat aggression. My book, The Cat Whisperer, the aggression chapter is by far the largest. There are many forms of feline aggression and it’s the least black and white issue of all cat behavior issues. Every episode of My Cat from Hell I hosted recently all dealt with cat aggression. Please spay and neuter and do it on time (don’t wait!).

A collective scent among your cats is vital. Without it, it's akin to having an unwanted roommate, causing discord in their otherwise harmonious furry society. Read this important article by our senior cat behaviorist and author and new host of My Cat from Hell, Mieshelle Nagelschneider.

Besides being on The Today Show for my book launch, the highlight was that black cat Dean Cain is holding had spent a year in a cage at the shelter finally got adopted! He stayed in my hotel room the night before filming (the cat, not Dean Cain), and you should have seen him! He was over the moon to finally have a taste of the home life—even if it was just a hotel room. 🐾🖤🎥

It was worth it! A lot of cats were spayed and neutered and began living lives out of cages for the first time because of the TV show!

Apparently, no sleep is the secret to success. 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. filming sessions: just when I mastered being nocturnal, we’d wrap up… only to start all over 3 weeks later. Perpetual jet lag is like living in a time warp. Helping cats makes it all worth it, though. Who knew my zombie mode would lead to 2 Academy Awards?!

Honored to speak again in Shanghai, China on the cat behavior and nutrition connection!

On other side of the world explaining the cat behavior and diet connection for one of the 5 largest cat food companies and manufacturers in the world who are not just advocates for cats, but their owners, too.

21% of cats age 7 or older were not considered healthy at their vet appointment when the owners considered them healthy. 30 to 40% of cats have renal dysfunction as senior cats and 81% 15 years and older. It so important to get that senior blood profile and urinalysis now while they are between 7 and 8 (yes, seniors) to ensure their longevity!

Background Although regular health screening is recommended, long-term follow-up data in healthy aged cats are lacking. Objectives Determine the most common conditions in a large group of apparent...

What I do all day as a cat behaviorist and sometimes all night depending on what country we’re filming.

This explained a lot of the cat’s unwanted behavior we were working with on the show. Many countries are a bit behind when it comes to spaying/neutering their cats and dogs, but you wouldn’t believe how the U.S. is not far behind. Spaying/neutering is one thing, but many cat owners wait just a few weeks or months too long past a cat’s sexual maturity and before you know it, kittens are on the way. Many countries still believe letting their dog or cat have one litter will make them a better pet - a huge myth. Not only does spaying/neutering reduce unwanted pets, but the cancers that come along with intact dogs and cats, so it really DOES SAVE LIVES.

Not very many cat owners get a chance to see where their cat’s food is made. This is a small video snippet of one of the highest technology factories in the world that I work for as a scientific nutrition research consultant and cat behaviorist (yes, nutrition is the cornerstone for a behaviorally thriving feline). So much goes into making your cat food in the research laboratories before it even makes it to the factory!

This is a small sample of what I’ve been doing overseas to help improve the welfare of cats. Many countries need help learning about proper nutrition, spaying/neutering, and how to care for a cat. It’s been a very impactful last 3 years doing this. It’s hard work, but it’s also my passion for helping both cats and their owners as a cat behaviorist and scientific nutrition research consultant. This is the learning center in Shanghai, China for the sponsor of the show I now host My Cat from Hell on Discovery Plus (that has one billion viewers and won 2 academy awards) to help educate cat owners.

Where are the treats and who is this on our cat wheel?

My Cat from Hell TV show commercial filming for sponsor of the show. These cats were all ready to be adopted. I hope they all have good homes by now with the help of Feline Good Cat Cafe in California. I think some were adopted while we filmed Feline Good Social Club!
