Cat Daddies
Editor
A heartwarming and tender portrait of men whose lives have been forever changed by their cats, CAT DADDIES takes us on an inspiring journey all across the United States.

They couldn’t be any more different, but each of them has a compelling story to tell and share an unconditional love for their cats. A refreshing and timely exploration of modern masculinity, CAT DADDIES shows us how being a “cat person” has no gender, and that the unlikely bond between man and cat is here to stay.
