Hi guys. The mom says one of the best things about the BlogPaws conference is the Cat Lounge. Put together by incomparable Kate Benjamin from Hauspanther, the Cat Lounge displays all of the latest trends in cat-related products…furniture, beds, scratchers, toys, fountains…you name it. And the coolest part about the Cat Lounge is that at the end of the conference, Miss Kate gives everything in the Cat Lounge away to the attendees through random drawings. How pawsome is that?!?
This year, the mom was lucky enough to win us this fabulous wool bed from Dharma Dog Karma Cat©. These beds are made by women’s organizations, artisans and family businesses located in Nepal. The only materials used are pure wool, natural soap and water. Everything about the manufacturing process is geared towards sustaining the environment.
We’ve been wanting one of these beds for a long time. When the mom pulled it out of her big traveling box, I immediately had to check it out. Dharma Dog Karma Cat beds are well made, stylish…and let me tell you…really comfy.
Uh oh…looks like my nap’s about to be interrupted. Somebuddy else saw this bed and wants to check it out, too.
Ernie! That’s not how you use this bed! Ooomphffff!
We finally got the mom to unload all the swag she brought home…and there’s a TON of it! That’s because not only was there the swag bag from BlogPaws, but the Cat Writer’s Association…which the mom is a member of…once again joined with BlogPaws and held its annual meeting at the same time and provided a swag bag, too.
Just look at all of this stuff! There’s toys and treats and lots of foodables. Oh, and a few things to keep us healthy. Guys, there’s way too much here for us…so we wanna share some of it with one of you. We’re gonna put together a cool swag bag prize package and have a giveaway in the next week or so. We hope you’ll all stop by and enter.
Thanks to BlogPaws, CWA, Kate Benjamin and the many conference sponsors and brands for all the pawsome swag this year!

How wonderful! We love the bed…will have to check it out online.
That kitty bed looks so comfy, and is so cute too! I’m sorry your nap got interrupted, Wally. I guess you and Ernie and Zoey will have to set up a schedule for who can use the bed when. That’s a lot of swag! I’m glad your mom had a good time. I hope you are feeling better, Wally. Thinking about you, sweetie.
What a haul your mom made. OMCs she must have needed an extra piece of luggage for all this.
That new bed is quite interesting.
Hugs madi your bfff
Ernie, best not to walk around on the inhabitant of a bed you want!!!
Cool bed! We’ve been wanting a wool pod for quite some time too.
Oh, Wally. You lucky guy. Chloe Jo would love that bed! Her favourite alone place is always a covered comfy bed. That looks wonderul. ❤
You know, the Karma Cat looked great at the Cat Lounge, just imagining kitties napping in them. And, well, I have a soft spot for wool.
Now, seeing you two having so much, ahem, fun, I think we’ll have to invest!
You look mighty comfortable in that bed, Wally! Maybe Ernie will get distracted by some of that swag and leave you to nap.
Love the great cat head bed!
That’s a lot of swag. That bed looks really comfy. I also love the picture of you and Ernie. Reminds me of Laurel and Hardy.
Mom thinks those are the coolest beds. So happy you all got one, and the kitty one has to be the best. Poor Wally getting smooshed by Ernie. Did Ernie get a chance to to try it out? Don’t forget to leave Kate a comment at Hauspanther about your bed with a link to this post. She’ll share it with her supplier. That’s a lot of swag. Mom gave us one toy out of a bag, and then they went straight to the living room. She will be making selections for friends and Chris’s cat, Tinsley. We have only gotten foodables so far! Enjoy all your loot. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
I just saw something like these beds at my pet store. Love them. My Zoe would love one. Raja would care less.

That is ONE NEAT LOOKIN’ bed, for sure. And it looks so comfy! Well, until the part about how you kinda got a little squished in it on account of it not really bein’ a bunk bed but… You know… Yeah, you know. But even then, I bet it was soft and lovely. PURRS.
That bed is really well made and looks very handsome! But not quite as handsome as the cute cat occupying it 🙂
Enjoy all the treats boys and don’t forget to share with Zoey!

That is one gorgeous cat bed! Didn’t the Cat Lounge have the absolute BEST prizes this year?? OMC, I wish I still had a kitty so I could win one of those prizes! It was so nice meeting you at the conference – remember me, I’m the one who thought you must live in Long Island, NY – us NY-ers are always so NY centric aren’t we, LOL!! I’m glad we got a chance to meet.
Love & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
First of all, we are in love with that adorable kitty bed. Second of all, we’re sorry, Wally, but we sort of MOLed at Ernie’s blatant photobomb. Third of all, look at all that swag!!!
Oh, you boys are too funny! We loved all of our swag, too. Can you believe all the stuff our moms got?
Wow, that’s a neat cat bed. Too bad someone is trying to squish you in it.
Looking extremely great looking in that bed…You all will have a decent time for quite a while. Have a great day…
What an awesome wool bed Wally! And it looks really cozy and comfy. I’ve been wanting one of those too for ages!
That is such a cool cat bed!
Whoa! You scored big too! That bed is super cool just like you Wally. TW doesn’t know what she’s going to do with all this stuff after she unpacks it. So far she’s unpacked some food and I knew what to do with it. *licks lips*
We think we need to get petcretary to get us a bed like that. Way comfy looking Wally. Too bad Ernie tried to evict you, or was he trying to sleep on a top bunk?
WOW Wally that iss sum bed!!! You look toe-tallee comfy inn it….till Ernie sorta squished you….maybe you need a time tabull so you can take ternss inn it!!! 😉
