Comfort Zone, a Central Garden & Pet brand, launches a campaign to challenge stereotypes about Cat Dads during cuffing season 2025. The initiative includes a -edition holiday gift box featuring a 2025 calendar and cat calming products. According to their survey, while almost 60% of women prefer dating dog owners over cat owners, and Cat Dads are viewed as 25% less attractive in dating profiles, these same women value qualities commonly associated with cat owners, such as being good listeners and kindhearted. The campaign aims to highlight how men who can create calming environments for cats might make better partners.

L'iniziativa include una scatola regalo natalizia in edizione limitata contenente un calendario 2025 e prodotti per il calmamento dei gatti. Secondo il loro sondaggio, mentre quasi il 60% delle donne preferisce uscire con proprietari di cani piuttosto che con proprietari di gatti, e i Papà Gatti sono considerati il 25% meno attraenti nei profili di incontri, queste stesse donne apprezzano qualità comunemente associate ai proprietari di gatti, come la capacità di ascoltare e la bontà. La campagna mira a sottolineare come gli uomini in grado di creare ambienti calmanti per i gatti potrebbero essere migliori partner.

Cat Calming Brand Breaks Down Negative Stereotypes Just in Time for Cuffing Season 2025

Comfort Zone is unveiling a limited-edition holiday gift box that celebrates the positive attributes of Cat Dads, including a 2025 wall calendar, Comfort Zone cat calming goodies, and more unboxing surprises. They're showing us that a Cat Dad and a calm cat are the way to go this cuffing season – Mr. July knows how to calm a frisky feline, while Mr. December’s snuggles keeps a kitty cozy for the holidays. Even Mr. August knows how to change a Comfort Zone Calming Diffuser refill every 30 days because, well, nothing's sexier than responsibility.

“Contrary to popular belief, even the most independent cat needs a pet parent who knows how to make her feel calm. It's how she can feel comfortable showing her quirky personality and exploring her world. The best Cat Dads find out what works best for her, and they're there for her without smothering. No wonder Cat Daddies also make some of the best dating partners!” said Madalyn McLane, Strategic Communications and Content Team Lead, Comfort Zone.

What Singles Want & What Cat Dads Provide

Comfort Zone wanted to see if there is any truth to the internet myth that women don't want to date men with cats. According to a Comfort Zone survey, when given a choice, almost 60% of women prefer dating a man who owns a dog to dating a man who owns a cat. And almost 20% of women say they are somewhat or very unattracted to Cat Dads versus only 5% who say the same about Dog Dads. The survey also found that men holding cats in their dating profile pics were viewed as 25% less attractive than even their selfie-taking counterparts who weren't holding a pet at all.

Comfort Zone argues there's a paradox in the data.

In the same survey, women also reported the most important qualities in a potential partner as (1) loves snuggling, feeling warm and cozy and (2) knows how to support her. And guess who these same women assumed would be good listeners and kindhearted? Cat Dads. Comfort Zone argues that men who own cats know a thing or two about creating a calming environment in which all can feel safe and true personalities can flourish.

“Cats can get a bad reputation. But all those negative behaviors we think about with cats – from being aloof to peeing in your favorite shoes – can actually be signs of stress. Who wouldn't want to date a guy who knows how to give a cat what she needs? It's about time Cat Dads were appreciated for all they bring to the table,” said Shari Brown, Brand Lead, Comfort Zone.
