Biggest Takeaway of SugarCon 2015...Cat Hats!

If you were at SugarCon 2015 you probably saw many people walking around wearing these funny, but cute cat hats. A big thank you goes out to MailChimp who provided these beautifully crocheted cat hats with tongues sticking out. They quickly became the most sought after swag with none remaining by the time all was said and done.

Apparently the story behind those hats became something short of an urban legend as word spread. While all the facts have not yet been verified, it definitely made for an interesting twist.

Moving right along, let’s take a look at some our favorite Cat Hat pics over the past week:

First, here is what they look like up close.
