Whoever said a dog was man’s best friend certainly didn’t have the patience for cats and their, at times, aloof capacity for love and companionship. Director Mye Hoang’s documentary CAT DADDIES serves as evidence that the bond between human and feline is more than meets the stereotypical eye. Told through the stories of men across different geographic and demographic backgrounds, CAT DADDIES at its core is woven together through its subjects’ deep and undying bond with their furry comrades, complete with sumptuous glamour shots of these gentle, majestic animals. Through its runtime, the film meanders into explorations of loneliness, masculinity, and community. The film takes us from Flame, the fire station superstar who wins over the hearts of a gaggle of gruff men, to Lucky, the sweet cat who keeps David company as he navigates housing and illness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cats feel like home to people, and this film is a testament to the infinite ways in which cats can enrich lives. And for the record, this film shows that you truly CAN herd cats and do it successfully. —B.R. (a cat dad himself)
