For the LOve of CatCon LA
06.30.16
By Asma Mohammed
The second annual CatConLA took place at The Reef in downtown Los Angeles this past weekend: June 25 and 26. There was over 150 vendors present flaunting their one-of-a-kind cat-themed merchandise. The booths varied from well-known vendors such as Petco and Purina to smaller, indie vendors like the Stay Home Club selling both merchandise for cats and cat-themed merchandise for their owners.
Booths sponsored by large online names such as Cats of Instagram, Meowingtons, and Buzzfeed also made an appearance. Celebrity cats also attended the event and were present for meet and greet events for those who purchased tickets, this year’s celebrity cats were Pudge, Lil Bub, Coffee Cat and his sister Nala. The original Catwoman, Julie Newmar, also hosted a meet and greet event signing books and photos.
Cats were not permitted into the event; however, Funny or Die’s spokesperson for the event, Lucious the Cat, made an appearance in full costume. The event takes place every year in Los Angeles, California and grows each year in size and attendance, and always features adoptable cats, this year 97 cats found a home thanks to CatConLA!
Tickets were only $25 and the amount of free cat food and toys given out at the event make it a great bargain and a wonderful experience for cat lovers of all ages!

OUR NEWEST GREER’S GIRL, MADISON WIESNER
06.28.16
For the first time, we have a Greer's Girl who is still in high school. Madison Wiesner will be reporting on stores, restaurants, even book reviews from a high school student's perspective. We are excited to have her.
"I’m Madison Wiesner, a senior at Newport Harbor High School. I’m a fan of all things food, movies, and books. I hope one day to be able to work in publishing and help others love to read as much as I do. In my free time, I love baking, reading, listening to music, and watching movies," Madison said.
"Music, movies, and books basically give me sustenance. I try to go see all of my favorite bands play when they come to Irvine and LA, which luckily is supported by my parents. I like to go with my family and friends to the movies when I get the chance, too. And reading has been my passion for as long as I can remember, creating a getaway for me from life. I’m really excited to start working with Greer and I hope that I can help others discover new and interesting places."
