Mancat Monday Back From BarkWorld/MeowWorld
Mancat Mondays are better with mom. Yes, Layla is back from the BarkWorld/MeowWorld conference in Atlanta where she was presenting and hobnobbing with pet peeps and pals of all stripes. I heard there were lots of d-o-g-s. She telephoned me everyday and we had a chat, well mostly with me singing loudly, annoyed that I could hear her but not touch her. I missed her and as soon as she got home we snuggled close and she didn’t even bother emptying her suitcase. Odin sulked but came running when he smelled TREATS.
Since we didn’t blog yesterday we’re announcing our book giveaway winners today. The 5 winners of The Best Cat Book Ever plus extra postcard booklets are Shelley P.,Cynthia Southern, Carol Dyer, Skeeter and Izzy and Deztinee High. Congratulations! Please look for an email from Cat Wisdom 101 requesting your shipping address.
Stay tuned for more Atlanta conference news and pics.

It sounds like Mom Layla had a really good time at MeowWorld. The best part of your post, though, was how happy you all are now that she is back home. 🙂

Sometimes Cats Herd You
We saw a similar, pink bag vanish into The Forbidden Closet yesterday. Hopefully we will get a closer look today. The head peep says that she was glad to get to see you at MeowWorld, even if she didn’t get to visit as long as she would have liked.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Ditto. It’s frustrating never having enough time for one on one conversations.
Susan from Life with Dogs and Cats
I’m sure there were enough goodies for all! Great to see you at the conference–just wish there was more time.
–Purrs (and wags) from Life with Dogs and Cats.

I do hope there was some swag for the boys from that Barkworld trip! I know Merlin was happy for a chat but was missing the snuggles………Odin obviously checked every corner of the suitcase for something for HIM!
Hugs, Pam
P.S. congratulations to the winners in the giveaway!
Layla Morgan Wilde
There were separate swag bags for cats and dogs so lots for all. We’re all so happy to be home.
Kathryn
Aww, they missed you, and they missed the treats. Nothing better than cats. Hope you had a great time, Layla.
Layla Morgan Wilde
True. It was enlightening in unexpected ways.
Summer
I barely got a look/ whiff of the MeowWorld swag! I can’t wait to check it all out! BTW, my human says she wishes she had more time to spend with you – it was SUCH a hectic weekend.
