Awesome CatCon Stuff That My Human Didn’t Bring Home

Even though I had lots of fun at the Meow Meet, and there really were too many people at CatCon to make my attendance there possible, I really wish I could have gone! You couldn’t have found a bigger selection of unique cat toys, trees, towers and more, all in one place.

Look at all these toys! I could have just hung out here while my human went off and did other things.

There were designer cat bowls.

These people had catnip cat toys in all sorts of fun shapes — condiments, like you get at fast food places, pretend artificial sweetener packets and these popcorn cat toys!

We already have a mat from Feline Yogi and we all use it!

You’ve probably seen this Cattino scratching post and cat bed around other cat blogs, or on BlogPaws posts… but this is the first time my human actually met the Cattino humans in person! She said they were very nice.

As you know, I use a Sleepypod Atom when I fly, but I’d really like to have one of their classic mobile pet beds for car travel!

The Weruva booth was one of my favorite parts of CatCon — they were giving away a free can to any human that wanted one… but if they were willing to try some of their awesome cat food on a cracker, they got two free cans! I was majorly disappointed when my human came home with only one can.

CatCon was a huge success for the vendors, with many of them selling everything, or nearly everything they brought with them. And they were mostly small, boutique-type companies. Even cooler, many of the vendors, like these plushie makers from The Tiny Tabby, have their hearts in the right place, and give a portion of their profits to rescue.

And CatCon was really big on giving a big presence to organizations like Fixnation, that work so hard to help cats. Fixnation spays and neuters feral cats in Los Angeles — for free.

With all this cool cat stuff around, CatCon attendees were hungry to see real kitties, and Best Friends accommodated them with an adoption center. On Saturday, the line snaked around the corner and down the hallway.

On Sunday, they had to organize the line better! Some humans waited up to an hour to see adoptable cats, and so many were adopted on Saturday, that Best Friends had to bring in more kitties for Sunday!

CatCon was an amazing event, and whether humans liked their cat culture cool or kitschy, there was something for them all. But what I thought was best was that it made it possible for kitties like these to find homes.
