They really shouldâve had the cats in a separate room like you were saying, but also have it be a noise reduced area, like you canât talk above a whisper in the lines. Also, they shouldâve had more enclosed spaces for the cats, like at least a full room made of curtains. Could also be more opportunity for marketing/decoration/advertising. Cats love being in enclosed spaces and I canât imagine how stressed out they must have been. Do better CatCon!

I've had cats my whole life. I've rescued, I've raised kittens from just a few weeks old, Iâve had sick/old/special needs cats. I have 3 right now. I LOVE cats, is what I'm saying, and I cannot imagine ever putting one into that kind of situation. Holy crap, that is not a safe or appropriate environment for any cat, even the most mellow.

I 100% believe they couldn't afford the entire venue this year. In 2019, the last catcon before the pandemic, they used the whole convention center. Larger vendors and some photo ops were in the large hall, and the adoption area & artist alley were in a separate smaller hall. Hopefully they can go back to a similar layout next year.

Was so excited when I saw you were at a CatCon. Then I was really sad because it wasn't SEAMeow, the Seattle CatCon. But SEAMeow was a good con with better everything; you can bring your own cat, better flow, better catfluencers, also SEAMeow was $45 for the whole weekend and was a charity event as it was hosted by the local cat cafe that adopts out FIV+ cats. Just FYI, I'm a non-affiliated dog mom, but it was such a fun con.

My mom was a vendor at CatCon! She has her own small business so it was just her and my dad that went out there. They were SWARMED both days, my dad said neither of them were able to leave the booth all day just due to how many people were coming. The vendor/artist alley area was constantly moving, and many booths had lines of people waiting to purchase items, which didn't help the flow of foot traffic. It was great for business, but they're definitely planning to accommodate for the chaos next time.

I definitely get your point about not picking up a random cat. I've had my cats for 7 years and neither of them are comfortable being picked up and held, I can't imagine how that'd go in that stressful environment. Probably a lot of scratches! Definitely feel for those poor kitties, I hope they had a lot of adoptions to make it worth it.

I have a cat. We adopted him at 10 years old and now heâs 15. Heâs a orange tabby and absolutely hates all other cats. For this reason he may only go outside on a leash.
Didnât know there was a catcon but honestly I shoulda. With how much pet owners go in on their animals and animal enthusiasts hype, youâd think this con woulda been more prepped for the huge lines. Knowing that my shelter keeps a quiet policy Iâd be really worried about all the cats in attendance :(
They really needed to be further from all the noise.

One of my cats genuinely loves making friends with everyone, he actually likes going to the vet and seeing all his vet friends and they love him. We had to take him to a different clinic last week for a specialist dental surgery (he's 12 and his teeth are beginning to wear down a lot) and when I came to pick him up three different vet staff came up to the counter from out back to tell me how great he was! He's leash trained and we often interact with strangers at the park who are so excited to see a cat on a leash, he's just the chillest most dog like cat. And even with all that, I would absolutely never subject him to this convention, it's just way too stressful looking for a cat!

Hearing about how loud and cramped it was makes me really stressed out for the cats. Thatâs really gotta change
