Heading for the Cat Writers Conference

June 8, 2018 By: Summer Samba35 Comments

somali cat at the boarding gate at LAX headed for cat writers conference

My human and I headed to the airport early in the morning, on our way to Houston for the Cat Writers Conference. As always, I was a very good kitty at the airport. I went through TSA like it was no big deal (because it wasn’t). In fact, I came out of my carrier and walked on the metal table like it was a catwalk. Then at the gate, I sat in my chair quietly. Some of you may have seen me relaxing in a Facebook Live video my human shot for me.

I just want to mention, all the restrooms were together at this terminal, including the pet restroom. They still need to put in some sort of litter box, though.

The hotel is awesome! I love my room.

Here is a wider view of the whole room. I can really spread out here and have fun.

After my human fed me, and went downstairs to get her own dinner, she came back and fetched me. The first event of every Cat Writers Conference is stuffing the goodie bags, and of course I wanted to get a sneak preview!

But when we got to the room where they were putting the bags together, they were already finished! So I didn’t get to see what is in them. That was disappointing.

Except that this also meant I could get all the attention! And I did.

I posed nicely for photos and everything! This is going to be a fun weekend.

    Have fun. I wish I was getting a swag bag but that’s one of the down sides of having a human who’s poor and won’t fly in a tin can.

    I really enjoyed these photos, I mean, all the photos you post are terrific but there is something about this batch that seems warmer and more real (Does that make any sense at all?)

    Welcome to Houston sweetheart! It’s gonna be a hot weekend so stay indoors. Mom has work all weekend long, she’s sorry she’s going to miss seeing you. And really, what’s up with no litter boxes in the pet relief area? They are probably scared of dogs trying to eat the litter and such. Silly dogs. Keep us updated on social media as you can. Enjoy! Welcome to Texas where everything is Bigger, MOL. Purrs

    You are the star of everything, of course you get your pic taken. And that looks like a nice hotel room too. PS: mom wants to know with all the traveling you do, have you ever dealt with the dreaded bedbug? She is a non-traveler who went to Charleston two years ago and there was one in her room, but she didn’t bring anything home.
