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.

Looks like everyone had an amazing time at BlogPaws! I wish I was there! My cat would have a blast. I can definitely see a few things I will be ordering for my cat soon!
I absolutely LOVE Zero Odor!! I swear by this stuff. It is hands down the best odor eliminator on the planet. My mother in law gave me a bottle a few months ago and I kept it in the bathroom to freshen things up but it ran out. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere near me, and I’m so upset because nothing else even compares. Most things give me a headache, but Zero odor leaves a very clean, fresh barely-noticeable scent that won’t give you a headache. It completely eliminates all odors as if they never even existed. I totally need to win this stuff!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:57 am
yes please
June 25th, 2012 at 11:57 am
It would be wonderful to win this!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:57 am
With three kitties I need that Zero odor control
June 25th, 2012 at 11:58 am
Sounds great! Just what a household with 6-12 cats could use!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:58 am
My friend emailed me on Zero Odor right before I received your blog post in my inbox. We share our small apartment with two cats & a pooch. We could certainly use some odor help! Thank you for the opportunity to win and the great cat products you showcase.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:58 am
Thanks for sharing – I would love love love to win some Zero Odor for our household
June 25th, 2012 at 11:58 am
Oh how much fun we could have with all that stuff!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:58 am
Manoman, could we use this at our house! Three cats, one with IBD.
And thanks for the detailed post about all the wonderful goodies. I actually have a PetFusion lounger en route thanks to Groupon and can’t wait for the girls to try it out, especially if it’s as great as everyone says.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:58 am
I have two fur babies and I could definitely use the spray…I really enjoyed looking at all the beds, post and items available in the pictures. I’m always looking for new items for my babies.
June 25th, 2012 at 11:59 am
Three cats, two of them gigantic stinky boys, expensive litter, and high-quality food, plus twice-daily scoopings, and still my apartment STINKS! I would love to try Zero Odor, and if it works, oh man I will SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS WITH GLEE!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:59 am
What a great wrap up and photos!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:59 am
With three cats and living in the humid Northeast in the summer, this would be a great give-away to receive! They seem like great products!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:59 am

The lounge looked like Disneyland for cats (and ferrets)! Such fun!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
need this so much for my cats that can’t seem to use their litter box,,,
June 25th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
With 8 kitties, I could put all of these to good use every day!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Who is for eliminating litter odor!? (two paws and one hand raise)
June 25th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I would not mind getting my hands on some Zero Odor, one of our cats has gotten very bad at covering her waste when she’s done.
June 25th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I would love a chance to try Zero Odor with my three kitties. Thank you!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
I’ve got a cat that goes in his crate and I can’t get the smell out. This sounds like it would work great for that.
June 25th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
On behalf of my cats, Fred and Ginger, thank you for this giveaway, I’d like to win. Both of my cats would appreciate these items.
June 25th, 2012 at 12:01 pm

June 25th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
ORDORS BE GONE!!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
All of that stuff is so cool!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
This would be fantastic. My husband, kitties, and I are moving into a smaller place where the cat boxes will not be as concealed and out of the way. Anything to help with odor is awesome!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
Amazing products! I’ve never heard of the Zero Odor before, and would love to see if it works.
June 25th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
Im not saying I have a smelly kitty but….. some odor control might be nice!!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:03 pm
My Pyscho would love this and me too ;0)
June 25th, 2012 at 12:03 pm
What a cool event. The sprays would help out our house!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:03 pm
I’d love to have been able to attend BlogPaws; it looks awesome! I guess winning a Zero Odor prize will have to suffice. ;o)
June 25th, 2012 at 12:03 pm

June 25th, 2012 at 12:03 pm

I have used Zero Odor for years. I’ve never found anything else that takes away odors like this, even for cat urine.
June 25th, 2012 at 12:04 pm
We have a Wobbly also. She is amazing! She was fine until around 6 months. The sanctuary needs all the kitty things in the pics!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
I really like Zero Odor. I have used it for the trash and pet areas.
June 25th, 2012 at 12:05 pm

June 25th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
This product sound great for any pet owner!!
June 25th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
