A Cat Daddy 2.0 video by Mario Van Peebles preceded the re-release of the song and was associated with the movie We the Party.

[7] According to Thomas Clayton of The Daily Rind, the song had 14,000 downloads on iTunes in its first week and the video had 9 million pageviews at the time.

[10] In April 2011, Mario Van Peebles produced a "Cat Daddy 2.0" video that included appearances of several artist playing parody roles of themselves like actor and singer Quincy, rapper YG and entertainer Carlos Olivero.

[14] MostlyJunkFood.com described the song and video as "another one of those weak on lyrical content, but making up for it with a bangin beat and some standard Chris Breezy dancin’ abouts".

[2] Kate Upton, who in February 2012 was the cover model for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, recorded a video of the Dougie that went viral and garnered over 5 million hits in April 2011.

[17][18][19] She announced her intention to release a video performance of the Cat Daddy when she served as grand marshal for the 2012 Daytona 500.

[21] After garnering close to 1 million hits in the first 24 hours,[17] YouTube banned Kate Upton's version of the dance from their site for being too risqué.
