What's On Tonight (Saturday): Devil cats unleashed

My Cat from Hell
Meeeeow! Happy Caturday one and all. Tonight, we embrace Caturday with an Animal Planet staple, back for a COVID-19 special. Yes, cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy and My Cat from Hell is back after a couple years away. Mr. Galaxy certainly has a unique look, but it is clear he loves cats and wants them to thrive with their owners. Every episode had him visiting humans who were owned by a cat but weren't doing something right, making the cat mad... like they were front hell or something. (So much hissing.) But Galaxy got the job done. The special isn't done face-to-face, instead Galaxy meets with kitties and their servants virtually. Okay, the show got really, really repetitive after just a few episodes. Having toys and places up high for cats to chill goes a long ways. The show still taught me a few things about cats over the years. And any ending that has a purring cat is a great ending to me.

Elsewhere, Hop Pop goes from hero to zero, Martin cyberbullies, Nathan cancels LOL, Harriet Tubman operates the underground railroad, humans get a change in their diet, AC-12 is back on a corruption track, and Maniwa seeks help defeating Lil' Slugger.
