reader rating · 3,323 ratings

Total Cat Mojo: The Ultimate Guide to Life with Your Cat is Jackson Galaxy's most comprehensive cat behavior and care guide, built around the central concept of "Cat Mojo" — the confidence cats exhibit when at ease in their environment and connected to their natural instincts. Published by TarcherPerigee in 2017, it spans everything from kitten socialization and territory management to senior cat care, grooming, nutrition, and vet visits, all framed through Galaxy's signature behavioral philosophy developed on the hit Animal Planet series My Cat from Hell. This review is based on the book's contents and published sources, not hands-on use.
