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’m always on the lookout for the one great odor killing product!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
I so wish I could have been there to check out all of those great products.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am

June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
I would love to try in my cat house
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Oohhhh I seriously need this since my cats like to puke all over the carpet, and my pup has incontinence issues!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
A less stinky house would make all those inside much happier – we would be greatful.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Stinky no more!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Great pictures, fun looking show.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
If this stuff can truly save us from the death-stench one of my cats produces, I will dance with joy!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Zero Odor really works! It saved my couch. Could always use another bottle.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
This would be amazing for my apartment!!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Would be useful. My cat likes to dig in the box for 20-30 minutes at a time, several times a day. He’s always tracking the smell around.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:51 am
I could really use that kit…
June 25th, 2012 at 11:52 am
Sounds good!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:52 am
mmeeeeeeooowww! Oh man! So many goodies!
I have stinky cats- heaven help me!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:52 am
I could really use one of those kits! With an allergic cat and a little boy cat determined to make his feelings known by peeing on my stuff, I am constantly washing! Argh, make him stop!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:52 am
With numerous cats of my own – plus currently two pregnant/nursing foster cats – I can always use odor removal!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:52 am
Boy, would that Zero Odor be helpful for me and my four kitties!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:52 am
zeus and zena would like to win please.
meow, meow!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:52 am
LOVE Zero Odor. It’s the best stuff I’ve found. I usually buy it in bulk.
Would love to win some!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:53 am
my new cat-friendly office could use less kitty litter smells!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:53 am
Thanks for you giveaways! I love Modern Cat!!!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:53 am
I could use those sprays, too, especially since we are now a 2-cat household!
What a fabulous round-up of cat products!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:53 am
any product that reduces odor would be welcome
June 25th, 2012 at 11:53 am
Zero odor sounds great!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:53 am
Thank you for the opportunity! Litterbox odor is a big issue at our house!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:54 am
My kitty has a urinary tract infection right now. I need that spray desperately!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:54 am
With four litter boxes..I go thru my fair share of baking soda..would love to try this product!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:54 am
Would love to win!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:54 am
We have 2 big fluffy dogs and 5 cats and haven’t found anything that works to get rid of the litter box and musky dog smells in the house and car..
We’d be a great test station !
June 25th, 2012 at 11:54 am
I’ve been wanting to try this product for awhile. I would love to win a sample!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:54 am
Would love to try the sprays!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
So nice of Zero Odor to give these away!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
i think zero odor is probably the only spray i haven’t tried.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
Looks like you had fun there! Would love to win this kit!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
love love love! I have 5 kitties and they would love anything!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
I have two cats! Must have
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
would love to try Zero Odor. We have some odor-y cats. Cute as anything, though!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
I tried using a potted mint plant and putting it near the litter box to get rid of the odor, also because my kitten liked the smell and it’s not toxic, but then the plant wilted.
Sigh, and I thought it was a hardy plant.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
The mafia kitties are worth the unpleasant odor they sometimes produce but if Zero Odor will fix that I’ve got to have it!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
Anything that will keep the stinkies down is greatly appreciated in our home. Rufus and smokey are keeping their paws crossed to win.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:55 am
I’d love to give this product a try!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:56 am
My little stinkers and I would be grateful for this Zero Odor package. Thanks!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:56 am
Nice selection!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:56 am
Would love this!!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:56 am
Sounds like a great product – I’d love to try it!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:56 am
I would love to try Zero Oder!
BTW, the Cat Lounge looks like kitty Heaven!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:56 am
I love my cat but I hate the kitty litter smells. I would surely like to try out zero odour spray!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:56 am
This would be awesome! I have a male cat who thinks he has to mark his territory at our door every once in awhile
Anything to help with that smell is a plus!
