A purfect movie because it was very unique to see the several stories of how cats can affect people in a positive way. People don't realize the intelligence cats have overall and the emotional connection they can nurture with people, if only that person invests in them.
Also, just seeing the different ways people live life with cats, from homeless to firefighters, was definitely something that makes you think "I wonder how other people live with their cats and how they treat them?"
In close, when leaving the theater, I heard someone say "I think I'm going to get a cat!" That says it all, doesn't it?

I normally don't like documentaries, but I love Cat Daddies. It has everything, storylines, music, emotion, looks and feels wonderful. It's touching, heartwarming and uplifting. I'd watch it again and again. And I'm eager for more, to follow up with a couple of these cats. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie for everyone, even if you don't like cats, the human stories are compelling! If you want to see an interview with the director-producer, learn why and how she made the film, her own cat story, the challenges during pandemic, and much more, check out @TheKittyBoss on YouTube or the The Kitty Boss podcast everywhere podcasts are available.
This is the movie that made me get in the car and drive to the Newport Beach Film festival this year. The director knocked this one out of the park. An entertaining, uplifting film that moves the great conversation about masculinity forward. As a matter of fact, this movie turns the stereotype about cats upside down, too. The men came from different walks of life. Each one's story interesting and left you wanting to know more. The movie looks and feels like a Hollywood type budget movie with vast sweeping shots of beautiful landscape. Throughout the movie I was looking forward to what I would see and hear next.
Definitely, worth your time and price. Don't be shocked if you want to adopt a cat after this movie. Wish more movies were like this!

I caught 'Cat Daddies' last night at a showing in Columbus, OH and really enjoyed it! It's a pretty straightforward premise: the doc features 8 or so men and their pet cats and shows how their human-animal bond enhances the life of each "cat daddy". I kept expecting it to morph into a lecture on masculinity and the history of the femeninization of cat ownership (which I actually would have dug, too) but it didn't -- probably to its benefit.
The issues of gender, the effects of global warming, the state of American healthcare, Covid, homelessness, race, poverty, social media, etc are all present and important parts of these men's lives -- but they are woven through the film in a skillfully apolitical way. By steering clear of a social "deep dive", 'Cat Daddies' allows the focus to stay on the individual, emotional bonds between men and their cats, and -- like pet ownership itself -- remains something (most) everyone will probably enjoy!
