David Baddiel's new show 'Cat Man' is the ultimate guilty pleasure that's sure to delight both cat lovers and non-fans alike. With his infectious enthusiasm for all things feline, David has set out on a mission to put cats firmly in the spotlight, challenging common misconceptions about their supposed sneaky nature.
In this lighthearted yet genuine documentary series, David gets up close and personal with some of the most famous felines around, including Instagram sensations like Atticus the stunning ragdoll cat. The show's concept is simple: it explores the popular culture surrounding cats on social media platforms such as Instagram, where the hashtag #catsofinstagram boasts an astonishing 212 million posts.
However, what sets 'Cat Man' apart from other celebrity-led documentaries is its genuine affection for its subject matter. David openly gushes about his own three adorable feline companions – Tiger, Zelda, and Ron – who make appearances throughout the show in home videos and on set. The documentary also delves into more serious themes such as cat rescue and welfare, showcasing the work of dedicated centres like Holly's Merry Moggies.
But 'Cat Man' isn't just a feel-good programme about cats; it's also an opportunity to humanise its subjects and challenge stereotypes. By featuring celebrities who openly declare their love for felines, the show tackles issues of pet ownership with empathy and sensitivity. Even self-proclaimed cat haters like comedian Frank Skinner are brought on board to share their complicated relationship with cats, highlighting that even those with a tough exterior can have soft spots.
The show's standout moment comes when David Baddiel confronts his personal demons – namely the loss of his beloved 15-year-old cat Pip – which breaks down any preconceived notions about the programme being lighthearted or trivial. His raw, emotional reaction serves as a powerful reminder that this is more than just a fun romp with cats; it's an exploration of what it means to love and care for animals.
Ultimately, 'Cat Man' is comforting viewing that will leave you smiling at its lovable host, grinning from ear to ear. Whether you're a die-hard cat fanatic or just looking for a pick-me-up, this show has something special in store – so grab some snacks, settle in, and get ready to fall head over paws in love with David Baddiel's world of felines.

! Like who wouldn't want to see a celeb like him going all out on their cat love? 
The way he gushes over his own fur babies, Tiger, Zelda, and Ron is ADORBS 
. And I love how the show tackles serious themes like animal welfare in a super non-judgy way 
. I mean, Frank Skinner admitting to being a softie for cats is like the ultimate cat convert moment 
! David's reactions when talking about Pip are giving me all the feels 
... can't wait to binge this whole thing with some snacks and a comfy couch 
! It's like the ultimate cat docu-series that'll make you go from "meh" to "cat lady/cat man" in no time 
David Baddiel's energy is infectious, and I love how he doesn't just focus on the cute factor – it's actually got some serious depth. The way he tackles pet ownership and cat rescue stuff is so relatable 
. And who wouldn't want to see more adorable cat vids? 
I'm def adding this show to my watchlist ASAP 
But what I think I love most about 'Cat Man' is how it breaks down the stereotype that only cat haters exist. I've seen some pretty funny reactions from people who didn't expect to fall in love with cats like they did. It's all about perspective, right? 
So yeah, if you're looking for a feel-good show that'll make you smile and maybe even adopt a new furry friend, 'Cat Man' is the purr-fect choice 
But seriously, what I love about this doc series is how it tackles some real issues like cat welfare and rescue centres. It's not all just sappy cat videos (although, let's be real, the home vids of Tiger, Zelda, and Ron are EVERYTHING 
but i guess david baddiel is kinda infectious lol. its pretty cool that he's not just a one-trick pony (get it? cat pun) and gets to explore more serious stuff like animal welfare. but seriously though, 212 million instagram posts under #catsofinstagram is wild... what's next, a show about doggos? 
The more we know about cat lovers like David Baddiel, the more it becomes clear that their love is genuine and deserving of attention – making 'Cat Man' a must-watch for anyone who's ever been fascinated by these furry creatures. 
.

.
it gets real emotional 
) flow between lighthearted moments and deeper themes. The contrast between David's enthusiasm & the more serious topics like cat rescue & welfare is purr-fectly balanced
