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.

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.

Ohhh, if there was anything I need it is this. Have been wanting to try this out but money is short. These cats need to find a job!
June 25th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
I think it’s so great that things were donated to the kitties in Utah. Can’t wait to see the photos when everything is all set up.

June 25th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Wow, this would be awesome to win!
June 25th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
This is the best odor eliminator out there. It lives up to the Zero Odor name.
June 25th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
I’d love to try this product. One of my kitties has some pottying issues and I’d really like my home to have zero odors!
June 25th, 2012 at 5:32 pm
Since I started reading your blog we have lost one of our boys…Ping. He died in my daughter’s arms a week after learning he had congestive heart failure. Ping was our wetter and, while these products would have certainly come in handy for him, Poke and Scotty can stir up their own kind of stink. I hope we win!
June 25th, 2012 at 5:33 pm
Would love to win!!!
June 25th, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Awesome stuff, I could use some!
June 25th, 2012 at 5:35 pm

June 25th, 2012 at 5:41 pm

I’ve never really found an anti-odor product that works for the litter area, so this looks like a great new product to try, thank you!
