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!

I love attending BlogPaws because I have a chance to meet up with some of my favorite cat bloggers including Robin from Covered in Cat Hair, Ingrid from The Conscious Cat, Tamar from I Have Cat, Angie from Catladyland, Deb from The Chronicles of Zee and Zoey, new friend Debbie from Glogirly, Stephanie from Catsparella, Janea from Paws and Effect, Joanne from The Tiniest Tiger Conservation Cub Club, Karen from Mousebreath, Dorian from Your Daily Cute, Stacey from Pets Weekly, Teri from Curlz and Swirlz, Caroline from Romeo the Cat, Janiss from Sparkle the Cat, Amy from Sebastian the Sensitive Soul, Rachel from We Have a Situation, and Ashley and Nikki from I Love Rescue Animals.

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.

ZERO ODOR GIVEAWAY! ENTER TO WIN!
The Catification Lounge was sponsored by Zero Odor, one of my favorite odor elimination products. They do a live demo with red onions that will knock your socks off! Onions that will make you cry are rendered almost completely odorless after a few sprays with Zero Odor. Very impressive!

Five winners will each receive a Pet Multi Kit, including three 16 oz bottles of Zero Odor, one each of their Pet Spray, Litter Spray, and new Pet Stain Remover. The kit sells for $34.95.
To enter to win, please leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on July 2, 2012. One entry per person. This giveaway is limited to addresses in the US.

June 25th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
I NEED to try this!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
I love this stuff! Amazing! And we love smelling stuff we love and not what we don’t!!!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
The Zero Odor sounds great. With four boy cats in and around the house, this product would be useful
June 25th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
Oh, I love that stuff and now that there are FOUR instead of three cats I need it even more.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I would love to win this odor eliminating product. Seeing (smelling) is believing!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Wonderful collection! Bravo once again, Moderncat & Jackson!!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
What an amazing conference that must have been — I’d get lost in all the cat goodies, not to mention falling in love with all the CATS! I’ve heard good things about Zero Odor and would definitely give it a try if we win!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
my dads new kitten could definitely use this!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
We have two kitties who don’t get along, and we’ve been trying to integrate them for a long time. Still working on it, but we do have the occasional accident. We’ve tried everything, but some thing STILL smell like pee. Help! Please!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:06 pm
i would love to win this. my kitty has a problem with peeing on the bath mat and this just might be the solution!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
my husband and i love our 4 rescue cats…but the problem with 4 cats is they can get kinda smelly sometimes. i’d love to try a new product that could make all our lives a little better!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
Zero Odor sounds terrific. My 5 cats want to win some!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
Yes, please! I smell roses in my future (and not the litter box
June 25th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
Would definitely be worth trying for our smelly little guy!

Great products!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Would love to try this product!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Wow…what an amazing array of products…thanks SO much for the coverage and the pics!!! It’s like being a kitty in a catnip store!
Can’t wait to check out Zero Odor…looks like a fabulous product for litter boxes, trash cans, people eating red onions (blech!).
June 25th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
I’ve seen the bottles before, but I was dubious, but a real live onion test that showed it work, well I’m in–send the bottles over here!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:12 pm
sounds great I would love Zero ODOR.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:14 pm
Super stuff!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
Of my 4 kitties, only one ever misses the litter box, but Max makes “mistakes” frequently. This product would really help. For some products, the smell thats supposed to be taking care of the mistake, is almost as bad!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
Can I spray it on onions I’m chopping?? Stuff sounds great!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Fabulous prizes…count me in!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
My four bundles of love would be happy with what ever they win. Will be so proud to give everything a paw’s up rating. Keeping our paws crossed.
