This past weekend, I went to CatCon! Yes, you heard me right, a convention devoted solely to cats and cat accessories and cat products! Held at the Reef in downtown LA, this show saw over 12,000 cat lovers in attendance over the weekend!
CatCon was spread out over 2 different floors with both booths and experiences. Pusheen had a big presence with lots of adorable Pusheen items for sale!
For some reason, I didn't buy this Pusheen onesie!
Several Cats of Instagram also made appearances over the weekend, like Lil Bub, Pudge, and Nala!
Yeah, I wore cat ears! Where else can an adult wear cat ears in public and not get shamed for it??
There were so many booths with cute cat items, like this one by Kimchi Kawaii which featured cat-shaped mochis and cat-shaped coffee!
100% Soft, maker of cute emojis and other cute things, had a booth featuring their Kaiju Kitties!
Lil Bub also had his own booth with all his merchandise, as did many, many other famous, semi-famous, and wannabe famous cats.
There was a Cat In A Box escape room, which I'm sure was fun but I had no interest in waiting in line for ever for it. Kat Von D was also there doing makeovers. Not sure if the makeovers made you into a cat, or just gave you a cat-eye.
They also had a cat adoption lounge! These were the only real cats allowed at the show; they advised to leave your own cats at home, probably to avoid catfights or catnapping! I hope lots of cats and kittens got adopted out!
Bonus picture of my shadow where I almost look like Pusheen with my ears on.
CatCon was a great show with lots of cool stuff to do, see, and buy. We didn't spend too much time there, but with the various activities and panels, you could easily spend the whole day there. I definitely want to go again next year!
