The Catnip Times is an online magazine and source of cat news. Similar to another cat-related news site, The Purrington Post, it is aimed primarily at cat lovers. It has been involved in events for cat enthusiasts and has contributed to other media as well as a major animal-related website.

Background[edit]

It was founded by Laura Mieli around 2012. After being laid off from her marketing job in Chicago in 2017, she turned The Catnip Times into a fulltime job.[1] It now has more than a million followers in over 100 countries.[2][3] It has been used for as source of information for an article about cat cafes that appeared in mySA.[4] It also contributes articles to AKC Reunite (an American Kennel Club affiliate[5]),[6][7] an organisation which formerly known as AKC Companion Animal Recovery, America's largest non-profit pet recovery service.[8]

Events[edit]

In July 2018, Mieli was with Steve Dale and was interviewed on WHN, discussing what The Catnip Times was about and its evolution over the years.[9] Also that month, Catnip Times sponsored the first ever "Meow Meetup" at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont. The event trook place over July 21st to the 22nd.[10] The event was expected to attract around 3000 people. The largest cat conference in the Midwest.[11][12]
