From 'Psycho Kitty' to 'My Cat From Hell': The Evolution of Cat Behavior TV

Before Animal Planet’s “My Cat from Hell” there was a show, “Psycho Kitty” with cat behaviorist Pam Johnson-Bennett.  It was a show on Canadian television and did not air in the USA – but now you can watch individual episodes or the first full season on Amazon. As you may recall, we interviewed cat behaviorist Pam Johnson-Bennett. Pam Johnson-Bennett is a world-renowned  cat behaviorist.  She has written several books on cat behavior, including:

• Think Like a Cat: How to Raise a Well-Adjusted Cat–Not a Sour Puss
• Cat Vs. Cat: Keeping Peace When You Have More Than One Cat
• Starting from Scratch: How to Correct Behavior Problems in Your Adult Cat
• Twisted Whiskers: Solving Your Cat’s Behavior Problems
• Hiss and Tell: True Stories from the Files of a Cat Shrink
• Psycho Kitty: Tips for Solving Your Cat’s Crazy Behavior
• Cat Love: Understanding the Needs and Nature of Your Cat

When I interviewed Pam – she mentioned that she had done this show, but at the time, I wasn’t able to watch any episodes. So I used the $10 Amazon Gift Card I got for free from Swagbucks to pay to watch all of the episodes – it’s an easy way to learn about cat behavior. Here’s the show’s synopsis: “Solve your cat’s “crazy” behavior! We see misbehaving cats with a myriad of bad habits. These ferocious felines’ biting, scratching, and peeing is driving their owners insane! Watch Pam Johnson -Bennett best-selling author of 10 books on cat behavior and most sought-after cat behavioral expert in the world advise the owners on how to fix their felines’ fixations!” Psycho Kitty debuted on Canadian television.
