1249. Catifying Your House With Jackson Galaxy

Cat expert Jackson Galaxy is back. This time he has great ideas for turning your house into a cat-friendly playground without losing its aesthetic appeal. It’s not enough to just have a feeding bowl and litter anymore. Cats need stimulation. Jackson has a plan, even if you’re a renter. Oh, did we mention we have giveaways of Jackson’s book? Also, forget about canine separation anxiety. Let’s talk about how much we miss our pets when we go out of town. 10% of us call our pets to say hi. 4% of us send postcards to our pets. And a whopping 23% of us buy souvenirs for our critters. Tammy Trujillo has all the details about our obsession with our pets. Also, actress Charlotte Ross guests this weekend. This charismatic fireball loves the animals. You’ve seen her on Glee, NYPD Blue, Nashville and Arrow. But her biggest role is being a voice for the voiceless. Also, there are lots of home-remedies for fleas that simply don’t work or can be dangerous for your pet. No, Motor Oil doesn’t work, and is obviously very dangerous. Lemon juice doesn’t kill fleas either. Nor does Dawn dish detergent. Dr. Debbie & Dogfather Joey Villani have what you need-to-know to effectively and safely rid your pet and house of fleas. Also, our Hero Person this week is trying to put an end to an archaic method of euthanization. 22 states still use the gas chamber to get rid of unwanted animals. Joe Dwyer adopted a dog that survived a gassing. Now the lucky dog, “Daniel,” is the poster-dog for anti-gas chamber legislation.
