J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s Republican VP pick, found himself in hot water recently due to comments he made in a resurfaced 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson. In the interview, Vance referred to Kamala Harris and other U.S. leaders as “childless cat ladies,” drawing criticism from Harris and other liberals. This controversial statement has undoubtedly caused Vance to become a polarizing figure, making an appearance at events such as CatCon a risky move for him politically.
The Ongoing CatCon Event
CatCon, a weekend event celebrating all things feline, is set to take place at the Pasadena Convention Center. With the goal of building a community for cat enthusiasts, CatCon has successfully attracted attendees from all 50 states and 24 countries over the past 9 years. Despite Vance’s avoidance of such events, CatCon continues to thrive as a gathering place for cat lovers to come together and share their passion for these lovable creatures.
The Mission of CatCon
CatCon president Susan Michals has made it her mission to challenge the “cat lady myth” and promote a more positive and modern image of cat enthusiasts. By creating a space where cat lovers can come together and celebrate their shared interests, CatCon is actively working to change outdated stereotypes surrounding those who adore cats. However, it seems unlikely that J.D. Vance would align himself with the goals of CatCon, as he has been depicted as not fitting the stereotype of a “cat lady.”
While CatCon continues to be a successful event that brings cat lovers from around the world together, it remains unlikely that J.D. Vance will make an appearance. The controversy surrounding Vance’s comments about “cat ladies” has positioned him as a divisive figure, making it a risky move for him to attend events like CatCon. As CatCon works to challenge stereotypes and create a positive community for cat enthusiasts, Vance’s absence serves as a reminder of the importance of being mindful of the words we use and the impact they can have.
