CatStyleLounge2016-1

The annual BlogPaws Pet Blogging and Social Media Conference was held recently in Phoenix and Hauspanther was there again with the 2016 Cat Style Lounge! This year’s lounge was bigger and better than ever, showcasing my top picks in the cat product world.

The lounge occupies about 1,200 sq. feet of the exhibit hall, offering a place for cat-loving attendees to learn about the products on display and see them firsthand. It’s always a fun place to hangout during the conference and we had plenty of kitty visitors this year, too!
