Now, they still need placating, but they also help save lives and bring hope in a time of distress.

We are, of course, talking about cats.

In her new documentary, Cat Daddies, Mye Hoang explores the relationship between a diverse group of American men and their feline friends.

At the centre of her film is homeless New Yorker David Giovanni, and his cat, Lucky. It’s 2020. David receives bad news about his health. And then, the pandemic strikes. What will happen to them next?

Once upon a time, David saved Lucky’s life. Now, Lucky will save his.

As Mye tells Matthew Sherwood, Cat Daddies is ‘a love letter’ to men who love cats. But more than that, it shows how cats can help men build their mental health, provide stability to them in a chaotic world, and even make friendships.

Cat Daddies is a tender and inspiring film. It is also a thought provoking one, and, in Mye’s words, an ‘emotional roller coaster’ that explores the topics of masculinity and vulnerability.

Join Matthew Sherwood as he discovers a world both familiar and strange, happy and sad, but always hopeful: that of the Cat Daddies.

“... it's also inspired by my own story with my husband, who, when we were first dating, he was not a cat guy at all. And then one day a cat found him... It only took a few days, and he was hooked.... it just goes to show... you think you know who you are. And sometimes life surprises you.” – Mye Hoang
