If you’ve been following along on the Moderncat Facebook page or Twitter, then you might have seen me posting from the Catification Lounge at the 2012 BlogPaws Pet Blogging and Social Media Conference, held in Salt Lake City last week. The Catification Lounge was a showcase of some of my favorite modern cat products, all on display for attendees to see firsthand. Jackson Galaxy and I put together some “Catification Tips” for creating truly cat-friendly environments, which you will hear more about soon. The Catification Lounge was sponsored by the folks at Zero Odor.

Several celebri-cats visited the lounge during the conference, including Coco from Curlz and Swirlz, Pumpkin Puddy, and Zeus & Phoebe. Gracey, The Tiniest Tiger, and Pimp from Your Daily Cute both made appearances in flat cat form, and to prove that we don’t discriminate in the Catification Lounge, we let Manny and Marcuz from The Enlightened Ferret enjoy the lounge, too!

There was another special guest at the conference this year, Moki Fogg, A.K.A. The Wobbly Cat, and his mom Crystal. Moki has a mysterious neurological condition and is undergoing extensive rehabilitation. Moki’s story serves to educate people about special needs pets and what can be done for them. He is an incredible little guy with a huge spirit. It was an honor to meet him!

So what happened to all of the goodies in the lounge at the end of the conference, you ask? Everyone who stopped by the lounge had the chance to fill out an entry form and we did a big drawing at the end to give everything away. All of the larger items in the lounge were donated to local animal shelter, Friends of Animals Utah for their cat room. We will share photos of the finished room as soon as everything is set-up.
I have to thank the BlogPaws team for asking me to be there with the Catification Lounge, and I cannot forget to thank Peter Wolf from Vox Felina and Jill Delzer owner of Ally McPets Pet Sitting and a member of the Jackson Galaxy/Spirit Essences team for all their help in the lounge.

I would have loved to touch and see all the items at the show but if I get to try the Zero order that would be just as well.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
The litter deoderizer is my boyfriend’s best friend – I bet he’d love this.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
I’ve wanted to try this product, thanks for the chance.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Five cats. Need I say more? Great giveaway.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Those look like some happy cats
June 25th, 2012 at 3:26 pm
With 5 cats and multiple Foster animals, we would love to win this and try it out.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:26 pm
Great products
June 25th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
I would like to try this on my four cats.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:32 pm
My friend swears by this stuff but I have not had a chance to use it!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
The sheer amount of STUFF there is overwhelming. I’m glad they were able to donate so much to that shelter.
Also looking forward to hearing your tips for a cat-friendly environment. More advice can never be a bad thing! Thank you for sharing.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
With 17 of us living here we make a pretty good stink and a few of us occasionally miss the box and or litter robot. So we could really give those stink n stain removers a workout. MOL!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
We are an eight cat household, two with special needs. Zero Order is exactly what we need!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
OMG! Exactly what I need with all of the cats and dogs and fosters I have in the house. Keep buying new products trying to find something that works.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
Cats smell sweet, but the box – aauuuugh!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
I need Zero Odor more than you know.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
Would be very interested in winning this for a try!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
Zero Odor would be great! I’ve got 3 new kitties in the house and we’d love to have a solution.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
3 cats + 1 dog could = zero odor?!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Please, I need you! Just took in a nursing Mom with 5 kitten starting to use the litter box. I’d forgotten how much worse the kittens smell compared to cats. But that’s why they make them so cute on the outside!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
This is soo awesome….I’m so glad there are so many cool products to take care of our kitties and the environment!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:52 pm

June 25th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
This would come in so handy. With a dog and cat and a constant rotation of foster animals, there is more than enough odor to go around at my place!
June 25th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Paradise for cats!
