Every national holiday starts somewhere. For National Cat Lady Day, we can thank a woman by the name of Susan Michals. Susan has a long history of working in film, television, and journalism. She is also a cat lover. To help cats get the love she felt they deserved, she created CatCon in 2015. CatCon is a convention where cat lovers from all walks of life can gather to show their love for felines.
Shortly after the success of CatCon, Susan wanted to take on the crazy cat lady stereotype. Instead of women who love cats being seen as spinsters or frumpy old women, she wanted them celebrated. In 2017, she did just that. National Cat Lady Day was born, and ladies who love cats had the opportunity to show the world they weren’t really crazy, just crazy about their love for cats.
