About
The Cat Daddy is a dance created in 2010 by the hip-hop group Rej3ctz, which involves moving one's hands as if they are turning the wheels of a wheelchair. The Cat Daddy is often performed along with another dance known as the "Dougie."

Swisher full of nuggets, daddy calls it Denver

Competition see the crease, they surrender
