Cat lovers have no reason to feel neglected lately—what, with this weekend’s LA Feline Film Festival, next month’s Hello Kitty Con and accompanying JANM exhibition, and the just-announced cat cafe pop-up, LA is practically drowning in… kittens.
Enter the latest feline frenzy to hit the city: CatConLA. The self-dubbed Comic-Con for cat people comes to the Reef, née LA Mart, next June with speakers, meet and greets, furniture, art, toys and clothing—For humans? Felines? Hopefully both. So far, speakers include Simon Tofield (creator of “Simon’s Cat”), permakitten Lil Bub and owner Mike Bridavsky, “Henri, Le Chat Noir” creator Will Braden, Cheezburger founder Ben Huh and more.
There’s not a whole lot else announced about the 2015 fest so far, but needless to say, we’ll be stalking the event’s every move.
