The Catnip Times Reports on CatConLA
The Untold Stories of The Underground Celebrity Cat Community
CHICAGO, June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CatConLA this past weekend was a rousing success with an estimated 10,000 visitors descending upon Los Angeles from all around California; and many making the trek from all parts of the U.S. Attendees pounced on The Reef in Downtown Los Angeles early Saturday, June 6, 2015, to hear talks from top-name cat celebrities like Ben Huh of Cheezburger, Mike Bridavsky of Lil BUB and Will Braden, creator of Henri le Chat Noir. They also came to find cool new cat products with nearly 100 vendors selling the latest in cat necessities... and they came to enjoy each other.

CatConLA is the first major convention for people who love cats and the brainchild of Founder Susan Michals. "The idea behind CatConLA was to change the perception of how the cat lover is viewed; when you say you're into cats, people think 'crazy cat lady.' That's not a bad thing per se – look at Taylor Swift – she's the ultimate cat lady right now and proud of it," says Michals.
Lauren Mieli, Founder of The Catnip Times, agrees. "As an embedded reporter at the show, I saw first hand that the CatConLA attendees were the exact opposite of the typical stereotypes," said Lauren. "The crowd was young, vibrant and enthusiastic."
The event drew a great deal of attention from mainstream media like the LA Times, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Conan's Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and others who showed up in droves to cover the show. But there was another side of CatConLA that many may have missed – other stories like:
- Cat ladies with an edge.
- Men that really do love cats.
- Cat people show love for their cats – by wearing them.
- The "celebrity cat underground" – the after parties.
