Who knew that an hour of litterbox chat could be so much fun?!!! The cat-loving world came out in droves last night to talk about their kitty litter issues and to get answers. While joining us at #LitterChat, sponsored by Swheat Scoop, guests won hundreds of dollars in Swheat Scoop kitty litter, high end litterboxes, organizers, toys and treats. A grand time was had by all!

@EventBarkers, @PetSandy and @SwheatScoop joined @AllThingsDog, @CatTipper and @DogTipper--to name a few--to bring an enormous amount of detailed information to families with litterbox dilemmas. I'm proud to say we provided solutions to dozens with cat litter problems that were easily solvable with expert advice. 

Thanks to @PetSandy for jumping in to share her expertise, while our Event Barkers team each shared a small niche of issues that are most familiar to us. Some of our guests even joined in to learn how to compost cat litter with @Learnin2BGreen. Yes, it's true! You can read up on how to do this at home in my post coming Sunday. I'll share the whole process and be happy to field questions.

Our winners grabbed some fancy cat litter boxes and loungers by @ImperialCat, @HelloModko and @PetSafe, and litterbox accessory organizers by Petlinks. Toys and treats went to a few winners and every winner took home a 14 lb. bag of @SwheatScoop natural wheat cat litter. Our Grand Prize winner really stole the show by nabbing an entire year's worth of Swheat Scoop along with other great prizes. 

Congratulations to the following winners: @Cammi72, @beaniewienies1, Joelle D., @idreamofJenn, @Emma__Peel, @EarthboundKitty, and our Grand Prize winner is @3whiskateers. If we don't have your shipping address yet, be sure to send it along promptly with your phone number for the shipper to EventBarkers@gmail.com.  Be sure to check out CatTipper's winner announcement here.

It's easy to say that #LitterChat was an extreme success with lots of great information and happy winners. If you missed it, we hope you'll consider subscribing to the Event Barkers newsletter to make sure you don't miss future events. 

And to those of you who found the Twitter Party atmosphere a little too fast-paced, you'll find help in the left sidebar of my site at the Twitter 101 posts that are listed there. Enjoy a good read before our next event. Best wishes.

Happy tails!

In our association with Event Barkers, we’re working with Swheat Scoop to share their products with our readers.

#LitterChat Rain Date, Just in Case!

It's easy to say that the show will go on, but you just never know when Twitter may have downtime. You know what they say about umbrellas. You never need one when you take one along. That's the point of setting a rain date for the Event Barkers #LitterChat Twitter Party.

Just in case we experience Twitter downtime that continues for 15 minutes or longer, we'll reschedule #LitterChat for Thursday, July 18. Same time (8 PM ET); same prizes! 

So, if we're not on Twitter Tuesday evening because of technical difficulties at Twitter, give it a few minutes. Close your browser and try again. Then watch for #LitterChat at our backup time:

#LitterChat Rain Date

Thursday, July 18, 2013

8:00 PM - 9:00 PM ET

Check in early and be ready to party! Trust me, the prizes aren't going anywhere until we pull off this shindig. So don't miss us. Let's make like actors and say "break a leg". In that case, we'll see you Tuesday evening at 8:30 PM ET.

Finally, make sure you're ready to go by reading up on the host handles in the next post. You'll find out more about prizes and who to follow for the tips you'd most like to get in on. See you on Twitter :)
