We are a kitty-loving nation, with cats dominating web videos, memes, and social media feeds. Feline fancy meets functionality as attendees of the 9th BlogPaws Conference will experience in the revamped and modernized Cat Lounge.

A dedicated section of the BlogPaws 2017 Conference exhibit hall will host all things feline, focusing on the latest cat trends and topics as well as showcasing the hottest product lines for cats and cat lovers.

"I'm really excited to be involved in a whole new cat lounge this year! We wanted to bring more variety to the lounge with fun cat topics and trends like fashion and decor as well as behavior and cat care," says Kate Benjamin, coordinator of the BlogPaws Cat Lounge experience. "We're also thrilled to have the Cat Writers' Association in the lounge this year, so all the cat-centric fun will be headquartered in one place!"

Pop culture and feline Internet sensations, Nala Cat (3.4 million Instagram followers) and Luna Rose (Nala Cat's famous sister) will stop by the Cat Lounge for a face-to-face, nose-to-nose meet and greet.

Cat blogger, Teri Thorsteinson of Curlz and Swirlz, and Coco, The Couture Cat, will demonstrate how she enhances the human-cat bond through clicker training and by using props like clothing to create unique photographs with her cats. Coco the Couture Cat will model feline couture as part of BlogPaws' Cat Lounge 2.0.

Not to be outdone by their canine counterparts, attendees will learn about the latest trends in cat cafes, cat shelter design, and residential design for living with cats.

"BlogPaws can't wait to share the new experience that awaits all attendees in this year's Cat Lounge," says Chloe DiVita, BlogPaws' Chief of Everything. "Working with Kate Benjamin's expertise, the Cat Writers' cat passionate journalists, Teri Thorsteinson and her stylish cats, and so many more cat-centric professionals has created a focus point to the conference that is not to be missed!"

In an effort to improve the quality of cat information to the general public (both online and in print), the Cat Writers' Association has once again teamed up with BlogPaws to participate in their growing, engaged and original pet community and social media marketing conference.

Every dog has his day, but the cats have arrived, as today's modern cat ladies can attest.

Only Natural Pet and BlogPaws Be the Change for Pets – IMAGINE5

Only Natural Pet

BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 24, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- This holiday season will be much brighter for the 7.6 million pets that enter shelters across the United States every year. Only Natural Pet is partnering with BlogPaws Be the Change for Pets to donate 5 percent of all qualifying purchases to help pets in need through December 31, 2015.

The statistics are staggering: pet parents in the United States spend $50 billion dollars a year on pets, with $5 billion being spent on holiday gifts for their pets. If 5 percent of every holiday pet purchase was donated to help pets in need, a quarter of a million dollars could be raised. This is the dream behind the #IMAGINE5 campaign.

With every order placed through December 31, 2015 on the Only Natural Pet website using Coupon Code: IMAGINE5, not only will 5 percent of the purchase value be donated to pets in need through BlogPaws Be the Change for Pets, but all customers will receive 5 percent off their total order.

Since 2010, BlogPaws and their Be the Change For Pets channel have donated over $100,000 in goods and services to qualifying 501(c)3 organizations dedicated to helping pets in need.

"BlogPaws Be the Change for Pets is delighted to be working with Only Natural Pet during the most giving time of the year. It's sure to help hundreds, if not thousands, of pets in need this year and next year," said BlogPaws Co-Founder and President, Yvonne DiVita.

Founded in Boulder, Colorado, in 2004, Only Natural Pet has spent the past 10 years finding innovative, cutting-edge holistic health solutions for dogs and cats and has become a leader in the natural pet products industry.

"We are very excited to be working with BlogPaws Be the Change for Pets this holiday season, their organization has done so much to help pets in need, and we are pleased to be a part of that," said Marty Grosjean, Only Natural Pet Founder and President.

BlogPaws was one of the first companies to begin promoting pet health and welfare via social media, and the first to start a conference for pet bloggers. We invite you to join in the holiday giving by sharing the #IMAGINE5 message - on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or over a cup of eggnog at a holiday party.
