Touring the Cat Style Lounge and Other BlogPaws Things

My human had to attend a breakfast sponsored by Natural Balance early this morning… and she went without me! Look what I missed — wouldn’t it have been cool to meet this little rat guy?

The Natural Balance humans handed out signs so the attendees could fill out what they believed in, and my human wrote this. She also said that humans should work harder at this and not assume cats are unsocial or merely homebodies. Which is one of the reasons she brought me to the conference.

She really should have taken me to this breakfast, but to make up for it, she set aside a half strip of bacon for me and brought it to the Cat Writers booth when I came down to help her again.

I appreciated that! I worked the booth for a while, but I was getting antsy — it was Cat World Domination Day, after all! — so my human took me to the Cat Style Lounge, hosted by Kate Benjamin of Hauspanther. I’d been waiting for days to do that!

I was excited to check out all the cool new cat styles!

This paper tunnel was awesome!

I think I’ve seen this lounger already, but I tried it out again anyhow.

I thought the automatic feeder was kind of creepy! I watched it open and shut a couple of times, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to go near it.

I think the most unusual thing I saw was this cat bed with an umbrella! It was cute.

And of course I had to try out one of those round SleepyPods! I think they are very cool.

While I was doing that, the human to Orion, Sammy and Emily stopped by with a gift. I’ve gotten so many gifts from cat blogging friends, I may have to devote a whole post to them all!

After all that excitement, I crashed! I was exhausted. My human was tired too, and we took a nap together, but she got up before me and went down to the conference and socialized. By the time she got back, I was ready for dinner and for the Cat Writers Association awards banquet!

I had a dress planned already for the banquet, but then Coco the Couture Cat’s human brought some hand-me-downs for me to try on… and they fit! This was one of them, and it’s what I wore instead the dress from home. I got lots of admiration, and when my human wanted to get food from the buffet, one of her friends offered to care for me… so I took her for a walk. After dinner, my human took me back up to the hotel room because she thought I’d get too restless during the awards.

Well, it turned out I should have stuck around because she won a special award for her article about cat walking myths — and she never could have written it without me! Wouldn’t it have been fun if she had walked me up to the stage? Oh well!
