My human’s first day at CatCon was a little rushed, since she was busy hunting down friends and not checking out too many of the booths. Sunday will be the big day for that. But here is some of what she saw on Saturday.
There was a booth to promote some mega-famous Instagram cats. I’m talking about cats with over a million followers! Well, I just passed 10,000, so that’s a start.
One of the exhibits that was a must-see was the Hauspanther booth. Mostly because my human wanted to visit with its head human, Kate, but also because there is always cool stuff to look at. Like these awesome Midcentury modern tables/ cat beds!
Some brands took some interesting opportunities to advertise. My human went to the ladies room, and here is what she found in the stall.
My human also made sure to stop by the Halo booth. She really enjoyed meeting them at BlogPaws. They just joined forces with Lil BUB and her dude, Mike, which is a really big deal. The thing is, Mike won’t let Lil BUB be a spokescat unless it involves a good cause that resonates with him. Working with Halo is a first for them. Lil BUB eats Halo cat food, but just as important to Mike is the company policy of giving back. So they were doing a fun promotion at CatCon. They had a selfie stick of Lil BUB, and for everyone who posed with it and posted it on Instagram with the hashtag #halopets, Halo donated a bowl of food to a shelter.
My human is pretty camera shy, so she didn’t want to do a photo of herself. So they said she could bring this card home and I could pose with it and post it on Instagram for her.
So that is my selfie for this week! It’ll be up on my Instagram feed sometime today.
Note: we don’t currently have a business relationship with Halo (or Hauspanther), and received no compensation for this post.

Those tables at the Hauspanther booth are so cool! I wish I went to CatCon. I just didn’t want to go by myself. I hope your human does another post about it. That is one cute selfie of both you and Lil Bub!
Aren’t you allowed to go to CatCon? Youre a social cat so you should be able to walk around and stuff, plus you’re used to crowds. TW wants to know how Kate is doing and how that cool cat stencil looks shaven into her head.
Only cats doing Meet and Greets were allowed to be at CatCon, and I don’t have enough followers yet. Kate is doing amazing, and my human loved her cat stencil hair.
Our human is so jealous of your human. Our mom wanted to go to CatCon too!
Pawsome selfie Summer!!!!

CatCon looks like SO much fun! You guys are so lucky it’s practically right in your neighborhood this year 🙂
Summer, I love your selfie.
Your selfie this week is just right as it also got a bowl of food for a shelter. Mom wishes we lived nearer to either CA or FLA so she could go to one of the CatCons. Thanks for hopping.

Great Selfie, Summer. It looks like your human must have had a good time at CatCon.
Great selfie with Lil Bub, Summer ! CatCon looks like a pawsome event. Purrs
You sure do get around and meet the most interesting humans and animals, Summer!
Great selfie, Summer.
Guess I’d better put “going to CatCon” on the top of my 2019 list of places to go!
that is a lovely selfie with Lil’ Bub.
That’s such a super cute selfie. Mom actually took a selfie there too. It’s about the only event she’ll allow pictures of herself. She’s photo shy. Purrs
Great selfie, Summer!
I’ve only got 4468 followers on Instagram at the moment 🙁
That’s really still a lot!
Ironically i’m wearing my Lil bub T-shirt this morning.
Oh sweety paws. I bet your momma will have a grr-eat time at CatCon. Mom wishes she could be there. Will you be having selfie opportunities at your table too, ’cause I know there’d be lots and lots of humans and the furry companions wanting a photo with you!
Nice selfie, Summer.
We understand about humans being camera shy. Our humans aren’t big on being in front of the camera, either. 🙂
Cat Con looks awesome. That’s great about Lil Bub and Halo teaming up, and Hauspanther has such wonderful stuff. We hope your human and Kate had fun catching up!
Our mom would like to try to go to Cat Con some day, but she thinks she’d be overwhelmed. We love that Bub is working with Halo.
for being rushed this is a great post! I think that bathroom advertising is beyond hilarious and brilliant, after all, they certainly have a captive audience when the humans use THEIR litterbox MOL MOL MOL!
Summer you are one hard working feline….I know your human appreciates all you do behind the scenes so to speak
Hugs madi your bfff
Cat Con looks like such a fun place to go. You should have over a million followers, you are a rock star Summer. XO
Helping others is always terrific and so is your selfie sweet Summer!
CatCon looks like a lot of fun. One day, the mom would love to go.
Great selfie with Lil Bub, Summer. CatCon looks like a lot of fun! 🙂
Looks like a fun conference. Have a fun Sunday!
We really appreciate Lil Bub’s hoomin for not taking financial advantage of his kitteh’s fame. Unlike say, Grumpy Cat’s people, who would probably endorse anything.
Great selfie Summer. Our Dad hides from the camera too.
We love Lil Bub and have great respect for a cat and Dad who do so much for others.

Your selfie with Lil Bub is awesome, Summer! How nice that this guy is so involved in good causes.
We have never tried Halo cat food. We don’t even know if it’s sold in Europe. But we have some great brands here too! #1 brought us back some pouches of a brand called The Cheshire Cat’s Garden. They are delicious!
Purrs,

HausPanther always has cool stuff.
Check the OSH out. Bmy FB friends.
I am following them on Instagram now!
I love the Halo people they were a lot of fun at BlogPaws. I’m sorry we couldn’t bring their food home * sigh *
Wow, I love the image and advertising from the ladies room, very clever in deed. Lil Bub and staff sure has the right policy for promotions. I wish more would do the same. We love your selfie too, and hope that you get to the million mark soon.
