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.

June 25th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Soumds like every cat owner should have this on hand.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:51 pm
Wonderful!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:51 pm

June 25th, 2012 at 1:52 pm

June 25th, 2012 at 1:53 pm

June 25th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
I would love to try this product.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
My Kitty is aging and not always making it to the litterbox or outside. This would be awesome!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Would love to find something to help with the odor.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
I would like to give Zero Odor a try.

June 25th, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Wow, this sounds almost too good to be true. What a great product especially for bringing new cats in to the home when they want to spray and mark territory.
June 25th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
The kitties and I would love to have this! They sure are little stinkers! ;]
June 25th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
I would love to try this – my two indoor kitties sometimes need to mark the front entry way. Whew!!!
June 25th, 2012 at 2:03 pm

With 14 rescued kitties in my care, I can use all the odor/stain eliminating I can get. I haven’t tried Zero Odor’s products yet, and I’d like to.
June 25th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
My apartment would really appreciate this!

June 25th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Oh yes, what a great product to have on hand, when living with the divine feline race! My beautiful, demanding (and yes, sometimes stinky) Forest Cat would love her some Zero Odor. Thanks much!
June 25th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
I discovered ZERO ODOR on your blog, and have been buying it online since then. I particularly like to use in in my LITTER ROBOT, both the drawer and the robot center. It works great and helps me keep their litter fresh a bit longer. I hope my cats win!!!!
June 25th, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Who couldnt use that?! Finally, a product that actually works!
June 25th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Oh, yes please! Need ‘em!
