CLIX: Everything You Need to Know About CatCon 2019

And judging by the number of "relatable," "same," and "living my best life since" reactions on my cute-adjacent Twitter timeline yesterday, #NationalCatLadyDay was a smashing success.

The festivities were framed with a simple call to action:

"Happy National CatLady Day! Celebrate with #CatCon by posting a pic of you with your kitty using the hashtag #NationalCatLadyDay," wrote CatCon's official account.

What followed was a cascade of updates from a spectrum of Cat Twitter™ constituents, each proudly self-identifying as a cat lady (both crazy and sane) or shining the spotlight on those that are.

From influencers like Cole & Marmalade ...

... to brands like Meowington's ("All cat everything") ...

... stakeholders in the online cat community ...

... were there to reaffirm the living sh*t out of one another.

As is generally the case with viral hashtags, jokes were turned, GIFs deployed, and photos shared.

Cherished mems and LOLCAT-caliber memes? Yeah, it had some of them too.

"Happy #nationalcatladyday, shout out to all pet moms out there working hard to put kibble on the table," quipped this women.

"I hear it’s #NationalCatLadyDay I think I qualify. 😂🤣😂," remarked a second who was surrounded by a gaggle of her fur kids.

Doggo "not impressed," wryly observed another.

Others, like this Cuteness.com contributor, saw an opening to rock headwear goals.

Now in its third year, #NationalCatLadyDay has seemingly established itself as a fixture of the cat and cuteness calendars.
