“The Internet cat ecosystem has the surest sign yet that it is a permanent and monetizable subculture: a convention to call its own.”

“They arrived wearing whiskers and ears. They purred over new litter fragrances, and pawed through the cat clothes….This was the first CatCon, billed as a celebration of the stylish side of cat fancying.”

“CatCon’s aim is to attract the huge community of cat lovers from all corners of the U.S. and give them the opportunity to meet the social media stars they admire and the brands they’ve grown to love.”

“Everybody here loves cats!” – Angela Kinsey

“I wanted to create this mecca for cat people that was an accessible and fun place.”- CatCon creator Susan Michals

“This is what it looks like when cats party with people.”

“Just when you thought your obsession with your kitty couldn’t be more obsessive, along trots this two-day pow-packing meower of a convention.”

“It’s pretty much exactly what you’re imagining – a celebration of all things feline with numerous vendors and cat enthusiasts peddling their wares and swapping stories about their precocious furbabies.”
