Redditors Rally Around Caring Cat Daddy: Cuteness Overload Ensues
We all know the story– It's a tale as old as time! First, Dad doesn't want a pet. Then, the family gets a pet. Finally, Dad falls in love with the pet– go figure. It happened in my house with our chihuahua Peanut, and I'm sure it's happened to plenty of the rest of you too. We're not sure what it is about the transition from people dad to animal dad, but it usually comes with a lot of reluctance at first, and then a whole lot of love at the end.
One Redditor this week was the perfect example of what we're talking about. Cat Daddy u/AdLocal3837 posted in the r/WhatsWrongWithYourCat subreddit a few days ago to gripe about his wife, and show off a picture of the family's gorgeous little void all swaddled in a blanket. It seems Mrs. AdLocal was poking fun at the cat– Holly– and Dad, because he pays so much extra attention to Holly now that the human kids are out of the house. Dad admitted it, his wife's not wrong, but he just had to wrap Holly up anyway: he was worried she might get cold!
The trend of men becoming a "Cat Daddy" is nothing new. It was already ten years ago that Jackson Galaxy published his groundbreaking book of the same name, and more and more men are falling under that feline spell by the year. Or, at least, plenty of women want them to! Don't believe us? Just check out the comment section below this post. There were so many responses lauding OPs efforts as a cat dad, and so many more saying we need more cat daddies just like him!

Gotta Keep That Snuggly Little Girl Nice and Cozy
Here we see the void in question, sweet little Holly, all swaddled in her fuzzy, red blanket. I mean seriously, would you look at that face? Even though a cat's internal body temperature is higher than a human's, some cats just love climbing under the covers, and Holly's dad thought she would too. But, as you'll see from one of the later comments, her time under the blanket didn't last that long…

Cat Dads FTW!
Like we mentioned before, Jackson Galaxy's book, "Cat Daddy" (co-authored by Joel Derfner) helped shine a light on a new type of man's best friend. The book focused on how Galaxy learned to be a better person by learning to take care of an incredibly difficult cat. Since then however, the term has come to mean a dad who treats his cats just like he would his kids– and this redditor is the perfect example of just that.
