I'm frecienting that. Well, I on the law, 44 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,680 decided to meet you. 45 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: I love that you have a Princess Pippa cat, because 46 00:02:57,879 --> 00:02:59,919 I mean, what better name for a cat than prince 47 00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:02,919 says Pippa. And I'm a huge fan of Pippa myself, 48 00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:06,080 so I just had to say, like, love it, love 49 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,319 that you're staying true to your roots and bringing the 50 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,719 pop culture to well. 51 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 4: I have to tell you a quick story about that. Actually, 52 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,120 because we rescued Pippa and that was her name when 53 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:19,080 we got her. Oh, she's a ragnol, and it just 54 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,120 so happened that that was her official name, was Princess Pipper, 55 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,599 And who am I to change it? It's very faking. 56 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: Was that here in the US? Yes, yes, that's so crazy. 57 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,960 She was meant to be yours, I think. 58 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:34,719 Speaker 4: I think so. We originally were supposed to just be 59 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,719 fostering her, you know, temporarily, And the moment she came 60 00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:40,520 in the door, the whole family was like, yeah, she's 61 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,400 not going anywhay and she moves loved the name. 62 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, she was meant to be. I have no doubt 63 00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,080 about it. So I want to get to know you 64 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:52,680 and everything you're planning on bringing to the cat World 65 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,199 next year. But before we do that, I want to 66 00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,919 introduce our drinking game today. So anytime you hear this word, audience, 67 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,080 the secret word is cosmic. Take a drink of whatever 68 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,360 you're enjoying, but please be sure you're over twenty one 69 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,879 in the US over eighteen. I believe in the UK 70 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,120 never drink and drive and always drink responsibly. So are 71 00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:15,520 you joining us for this Friday happy hour with a 72 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,199 little libation? 73 00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:20,759 Speaker 4: Me? Yes, Actually I have a mocktail though, because it's 74 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,199 still early in my day and I do have a 75 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,279 little bit of work to do when we're afterwards chatting, 76 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,800 and I'm not sure how that might go if I 77 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,120 had something a little extra. 78 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: So what are you enjoying today? 79 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: So my mocktail is called I named it. It's called 80 00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:42,720 a fizzy whisker, and it's a very simple drink. It's 81 00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:46,800 basically a seltzer or a club soda with a splash 82 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,399 of three syrups I like to combine. I'll splash of vanilla, 83 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,759 pomegranite and fashion fruit, and then sometimes I'll throw some 84 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,319 extra pomegranate seeds in there, just for a little bit 85 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:00,680 of textra. But if you I want to you know, 86 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,720 level up and make it a cocktail. Definitely add a 87 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,480 splash a vodka or something else if you prefer. 88 00:05:07,079 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: I love that idea. I've never used my syrups, like 89 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,920 my vanilla syrup is like coffee, but I never thought 90 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,120 about using it for a drink, so that is perfect. 91 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:18,279 I actually am gonna drink and then I'm done for 92 00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:20,759 the week.

Yeah. 184 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,879 So he was very gracious about me asking him, me 185 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,639 asking the star that was doing the meet and greet 186 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:18,200 to go to the other side. But then the next 187 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,159 day I had a meet and greet or I didn't 188 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,080 I did. I stood in line for a meet and 189 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,919 greet with Oh my gosh, Catherine Heigel. She was at 190 00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:29,639 super Zoo promoting her brand of dog food and she 191 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,919 would not move from the right side. So I think 192 00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:34,799 she has a good side and it's the right side. 193 00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:38,240 And because she is Catherine Heigel, she stood there holding 194 00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:41,039 onto a chair and would not budge, and everybody had 195 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,320 to take a picture on the left. 196 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,519 Speaker 4: Okay, Honestly, if I'm holding a cat, any side is 197 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,039 a good thought. 198 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,799 Speaker 2: This is true. This is true. We can always jush 199 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,240 up a photo with a cat. I always say my 200 00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:55,000 cat makes my house look more beautiful, and so I 201 00:10:55,039 --> 00:10:58,440 feel like that would apply to my face, to the room, 202 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,519 to everything. Okay, So next, I want to play a 203 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,200 few of your favorite things. So I'm just gonna ask 204 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,159 you about cat things, and you're gonna tell me your 205 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,480 absolute favorites, and it's okay if there's a tie. I 206 00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:12,240 just want to get to know what kind of cat 207 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,559 person you are. Are you ready to play? Yeah, okay, 208 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,759 let's do it.

I don't think I'm familiar with 213 00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:39,639 the British blue. I've got to look that up. I 214 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,240 have a what I call a Las Crusis blue. He 215 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,120 was rescued on the streets of Les Crus's, New Mexico, 216 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,080 and he kind of looks like a Russian blue, but 217 00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:50,440 way darker and that's why I call him a las 218 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:53,200 Crusis blue. But he's just a mutt. He's just a mix. 219 00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:57,080 Next one favorite cat influencer, and it could be a 220 00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:59,799 human or a feline. 221 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,879 Speaker 4: Like putting me really on the spot, because how can 222 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,919 you just pick one? 223 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 2: Okay, give me your top five?

I mean, 228 00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:28,000 these are all my famous celebrity cats instacats really. 229 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And there's so many, There. 230 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:32,879 Speaker 4: Are so many. But there's also I have tons of 231 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,679 influence of favorites too. The two Crazy Cat Ladies. 232 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,399 Speaker 3: Do you know her? 233 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: Do you know her? 234 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 4: I did? 235 00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:46,399 Speaker 2: I love them, of course, they're such wonderful ladies. I 236 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,279 don't know anybody who doesn't know them because they bring 237 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,559 people together, They introduce everybody, so it's awesome. Yeah, so 238 00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:54,879 obviously the Two Crazy Cat Ladies top top not And yeah, 239 00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:56,559 I'm not gonna put you on the spot for the people, 240 00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:58,240 because I bet a lot of them are coming to 241 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,720 your show, which we're going to talk about don't go anywhere, 242 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,879 because you're going to find out, guys, what we're talking 243 00:13:02,919 --> 00:13:07,080 about about space cats and the Space coast and a 244 00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:11,159 cat lovers throwing a party, a huge party, a cat convention, 245 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:12,440 if you will, Okay? 246 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 3: Next, one favorite cat rescue, pet rescue or cat rescue, 247 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:22,919 cat specific, cat specific cat rescue, well locally would be the. 248 00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:26,759 Speaker 4: Brevard Humane Society. I'm going to talk about that in 249 00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:30,679 a little bit. I would say Catsbury Park Cat Cafe, 250 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,320 because if it wasn't for DJ and the team at 251 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,159 Catsbury Park, I probably would have never ventured into being 252 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,639 a cat convention vendor and then and then starting my 253 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,399 own cat convention. So I would say, out of all 254 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,879 of the Catsberry Park has a very special place in 255 00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:54,600 my heart. For sure. 256 00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:57,399 Speaker 2: Absolutely it sounds like it. How about your favorite cat toy? 257 00:13:57,799 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 4: Favorite cat toy, it's the peacock feather. For some reason, 258 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,919 my cats go nuts. And then I have a second, 259 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,519 which is shamelessly something that I worked on with Kate 260 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,080 Benjamin at House Panther, which is the catnip toy. There's 261 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,159 a kicker or a shaker in a little pod the organic 262 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,639 catinate that's in those My cats go nuts for it, 263 00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:22,440 and so I'm a big fan of those because my 264 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,639 cats are a big fan of those. But I would 265 00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:28,600 say for engagement and getting the cats to interact without 266 00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:32,200 me even having to try, is the peacock feather for sure. 267 00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: It's funny. I decorated at my wedding with peacock feathers 268 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,519 because I didn't. I don't love flowers. They make me sad. 269 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,159 We put so much effort into growing them and then 270 00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:44,919 they die. And I found somebody in Florida who raises 271 00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:49,200 peacocks and she sells the feathers that you. 272 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 4: Know that fall and well naturally and I hope. 273 00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:54,879 Speaker 2: Exactly no, they fall naturally. She has, like you know, 274 00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:58,679 they're her pets. She it took me a long time 275 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,279 for her to like accumulate all of the ones I needed, 276 00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:04,879 And I still have them and they're so beautiful, and 277 00:15:04,879 --> 00:15:07,000 I bring one out for my cat every so often, 278 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,480 and I agree, like nothing makes him happier. I used 279 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,480 to have them in a oz, but like my cat 280 00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:15,519 would destroy it. So I have the feathers that I 281 00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:18,000 bring out one at a time until they're gone. I guess. 282 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,679 Let's see cat brand. Your favorite cat brand? A brand 283 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,440 that just does. 284 00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:27,399 Speaker 3: Like speaks to you that's doing fun things that you enjoy. 285 00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 4: Oh gosh, wow. I really love the travel backpack that 286 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:37,679 my cat travel backpack. That has been a game change 287 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,600 of for us and our cats, especially two of them. 288 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,720 We have four cats, and so two of the four 289 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,840 have a little anxiety, especially with going to the vets 290 00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:51,200 and things like that. So that backpack has saved me 291 00:15:51,799 --> 00:15:56,360 many face scrunches, yes, you know, and claws and issues. 292 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,720 Like for some reason, they're they're very cool with that. 293 00:15:58,919 --> 00:16:02,399 Speaker 3: So yeah, So is it the bubble backpack. 294 00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:05,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got the Yeah, it's got the clear dome 295 00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:07,600 on the back and then he's got to see through 296 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,399 the mesh. I do love that. I do love the 297 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:18,080 Jackson Galaxy Peacemaker kit because I've got one one of 298 00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:22,039 the oldest of my four cats, Jasper. He can be 299 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,120 a little feisty, and I think sometimes he'd prefer to 300 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,960 just be a single cat, you know, family, and so 301 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,879 he gets a little impatient sometimes with the others. But 302 00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:35,879 the peacemaker kit really helps kind of just keep all that. 303 00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:38,039 And he's also my anxious one about going to the 304 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,799 vets too, and that piece maker kit actually helps keep 305 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,080 him mellow for vet visits as well. 306 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. Okay, Well, tell us about yourself. 307 00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:50,639 You have been in the pet industry for about ten 308 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,600 years now, is that right? 309 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:52,559 Speaker 6: Yeah? 310 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: I got into well, yeah, probably about ten. I'm approaching 311 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,519 a ten year anniversary with my lance company, Lisa Works. 312 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,960 And it was about at the same time where I 313 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,200 started doing the cat convention circuit as a vendor. 314 00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:10,079 Speaker 2: And what do you do at the cat conventions as 315 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:10,559 a vendor? 316 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:14,559 Speaker 4: Okay? So I started off. I had a couple of 317 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:19,559 books published with Penguin back in the sort of twenty 318 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,799 and ten to twenty thirteen kind of time, and one 319 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,240 book was called cat n Act and it's just a 320 00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:31,200 young children's picture book that is about a cat who's 321 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,359 kind of curious, goes off, takes a nap, and then 322 00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:36,200 is hold away in a truck not realizing it and 323 00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:40,559 has to find her way home. And so the very 324 00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,440 first cat convention that I did, I was it was 325 00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:48,000 Catsbury Park Cat Convention actually in New Jersey, and I 326 00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:51,079 was just going to go as an attendee, and something 327 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,920 in my head said, hey, why don't you be a 328 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,200 vendor and take your books and do book signing or 329 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,519 something like that, and so that's kind of where it's 330 00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:05,960 sort of catapultic of me into it after pauls it. Yes, 331 00:18:06,519 --> 00:18:09,039 But at the same time I was also doodling and 332 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,680 drawing a lot of black cats. I have had black 333 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,559 cats in the past, and I had started working on 334 00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:18,839 some art prints so on an illustrator and a graphic designer, 335 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,599 and so I pulled together probably about I don't even 336 00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,079 remember now, six to ten prints and I found these 337 00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:28,160 really cute frames. I printed them all up. I had 338 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,759 a very nice printer at home, did it all myself, 339 00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:34,960 and that first cat convention at Cattersbury Park, I sold 340 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,200 out in the first day and I had to go 341 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:39,480 home that night. Thankfully only lived about an hour away 342 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,920 at the time, and I was like up until three am, 343 00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:47,079 like printing more prints and putting stuff together to bring 344 00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:50,319 to sell the second day because I didn't really didn't 345 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,759 have anything blacked in my booth. So it was very successful. 346 00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:57,160 It was a little bit of a surprise. And then 347 00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:01,759 the following year, I I mean, I just thought maybe 348 00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:03,680 it was a fluke. But I went back the following 349 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:07,720 year and I had equal success, and honestly I've not 350 00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:10,319 looked back since, and I've been all over the country 351 00:19:10,759 --> 00:19:14,079 doing you know, I don't do many every year, but 352 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:19,319 I have been to LA and Seattle and Chicago, and 353 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,720 you know, and obviously had plans to do a bunch 354 00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:26,799 right as the pandemic hit. So that kind of through 355 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,200 the as we say, spanner in the works, but you 356 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,400 say wrench in the works. 357 00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 2: Thought yes, yes. 358 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 4: So so that sort of put a stop on things 359 00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:41,400 during the pandemic. And then when we started to come 360 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,000 out of COVID and in person events were starting to 361 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,119 happen again. Nothing was happening on the East Coast, and 362 00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:52,599 I was getting a little withdrawal, I guess you could say. 363 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,599 And so I had participated in catcom Worldwide with their 364 00:19:58,079 --> 00:20:01,559 digital events, right their online event which was Come from 365 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,519 your Couch, which was really fun, but I was desperate 366 00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:07,720 to do in person once again. I just love the 367 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:13,480 interaction of meeting cat lovers and customers and cat people 368 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,599 and vendors and just you know, the whole energy of 369 00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:21,880 being together in person. Just it's such such an amazing 370 00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:28,160 energy and it's fun. And I like people, and I 371 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,480 like cats, I like people, and so I was really 372 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,160 missing that. So then cat Con in LA was the 373 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,640 first one I think to fire up there in person 374 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,359 event again, like right after the pandemic and I'm living 375 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,759 on the East Coast and I was like, you know what, 376 00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:45,839 I'm going to do it, and so I did, and yeah, 377 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,039 I've done that one now. I think this was my 378 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,359 fifth year. Oh wow, use in person, two years online. 379 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,880 So yeah, I love it. I love it. I love 380 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,319 all the conventions that I've done. 381 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's great that we have regional things 382 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,039 because not everybody can afford to go to I've never 383 00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:05,279 been to cat Con. I mean, I go to Super Zoo. 384 00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:08,839 I just went to the CFA Expo. I was, you know, 385 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,920 I was at a bunch of conferences things early in 386 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,039 the year for specifically for the pet sitting industry. But 387 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,039 there's a lot going on, and I think that there's 388 00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:19,839 a reason why a lot of the national organizations rotate, 389 00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:23,160 But then you're leaving out the people who are far away. 390 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,319 So whenever you start something in a specific area and 391 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,480 leave it there, I feel like you get to grow 392 00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:30,599 that area. And then those who can't afford to fly, 393 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:33,039 they fly in and they visit and maybe they don't 394 00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:34,880 go every year, but maybe they make it a special 395 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,000 trip or something. So I love the idea of keeping 396 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,000 it local, keeping it specific to the Space coast. So 397 00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:46,160 I want to dig in too, Space Cats twenty twenty five. 398 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,160 I want to learn everything you're doing, everything that it 399 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,039 takes to put on a conference just like this. But 400 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,480 I need to take a break here. We'll listen to 401 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,759 our sponsors and want to come back.

We'll be right back after these messages 405 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,880 from our sponsors. 406 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 7: You know the expression cats have nine lives?

I'm your host, 420 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,000 Isabelle Alberzerata And today I'm having a drink in a 421 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,519 chat with Lisa Hernandez of Lisa Works, Inc. And she 422 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,400 is going to tell us all about her experience putting 423 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,640 together a brand new cat convention called Space Cats. Okay, Lisa, 424 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,079 we want to play a game first that gives us 425 00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:28,799 an idea of what it is that you are planning 426 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,759 for this event. So I have my handy dandy clock here, 427 00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:34,319 and my audience knows that I will give you one 428 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,039 minute on this clock to give me a rundown. So 429 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:41,200 I'm calling this Space Cat's Preview, and you just kind 430 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,160 of give me just a little kind of like elevator 431 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,039 pitch on what the show is going to be all about. 432 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,559 Are you ready to play? I am. 433 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 4: That's a lot of pressure, but I'll do this. 434 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,799 Speaker 2: I think you can do it in your sleep. That's 435 00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:55,519 what I think. Three two one go, Okay. 436 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,599 Speaker 4: Space Cat Florida. It is the first cat convention cosmic 437 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:04,799 and out of this world that's coming to Florida on 438 00:24:04,839 --> 00:24:08,519 the East coast of the USA. And this is in 439 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,799 central Florida. A hopskip and a jump from Orlando Cocoa Beach, 440 00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:19,200 the NASA Kennedy Space Center and surrounding areas where a 441 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,640 few hours north of Miami, couple hours from Tampa, a 442 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,599 couple hours south of Jacksonville, nice and centrally located. The 443 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,359 idea behind Space Cat Florida really is to celebrate and 444 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:37,359 elevate the cat community in this state by way of 445 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:44,680 education raising, awareness fundraising, bringing in lots of cat themed vendors, 446 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,759 whether it's four cats or four humans, having some really 447 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:52,839 fun activities. We're going to have a cat adoption lounge, 448 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,759 the Lunar Lounge, we're calling it, and as well as 449 00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:01,200 guest speakers who are going to come in and tell 450 00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:05,079 us how to, you know, just harmonize with cats, whether 451 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,599 it's helping those in fostering, adoption and rescue, or cats 452 00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:11,319 in your own home. 453 00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 2: Amazing. Okay, you went over by eighteens, but I didn't 454 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,079 want to stop you because that's a perfect elevator pitch. 455 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,559 No worries at all, You're allowed to go over. It's 456 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,480 just a recommended amount of time. Okay, So I love 457 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:27,440 the idea. Do you have you said education, Do you 458 00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:32,160 have education ideas for you know, your consumer? Because I 459 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,319 assume that the majority of the people who are going 460 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,920 to attend are just pet parents. Is that is that 461 00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:37,599 your idea? 462 00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:46,079 Speaker 4: The goal here is to connect with experts, whether they're behaviorists, UH, 463 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:57,000 healthcare providers, veterinarians, fetec, weather bears services, as well as 464 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,119 celebs as I guess you could say you you know, 465 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,880 So the idea is to bring everybody together to really 466 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,839 just celebrate cats in general, but also give consumers, the 467 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:15,119 public attendees an opportunity to ask questions. Maybe they're having 468 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,480 some behavioral issues with their cat, or perhaps they recently 469 00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:23,359 rescued an animal, you know, maybe it was a family 470 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,759 of kittens or something like that, and they want to 471 00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:30,720 know the next steps so, or perhaps they live very 472 00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:35,440 close to a cat colony and they want to help maintain, 473 00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:40,599 you know, help that colony thrive through TNR programming and 474 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,559 things like that. So being able to bring in some 475 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,000 speakers who can literally speak to those different types of 476 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:51,720 topics is really one of the main goals, right. So 477 00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:55,759 when I say raising awareness, it's really about well, what 478 00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:59,160 are the fundamentals of the TNR program? What does that mean? 479 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,880 Trap you to a turn and Sterling the tracking is 480 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:07,039 coming to share and talk about how how you can 481 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:10,640 do that in your own neighborhood or help others, you know, 482 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,880 I mean I hear so many stories of people finding 483 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,359 cats in the backyard and the thing is here, you know, 484 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,759 we have lots of interesting wild animals running around and 485 00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:25,519 not just not so what can we do to help 486 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,400 within the cat community, whether it's through T and R, fostering, adoption, 487 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,279 general care, give back. And then obviously the other side 488 00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:40,279 of that is those who want to improve the well 489 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,640 the wellness and health of their own cats in their lives. 490 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,079 You know, maybe they've got a multi cat household and 491 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,359 the cats aren't getting along, or perhaps they want to 492 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,319 try and figure out the best vet to find that 493 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,880 includes fear free visits, or you know, help cats overcome 494 00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:03,880 any kind of special conditions, or maybe they want to 495 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,359 adopt a cat with special needs or seeing you. So, 496 00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:10,039 so there's going to be a lot of information from 497 00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:13,119 our speakers, our guest speakers to talk about a lot 498 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,079 of that, which I think is you know, any cat 499 00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:19,839 can mention that you go to that there's that's such 500 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,920 a big component and so it's really exciting for me 501 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,440 to be able to be able to connect the community 502 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,039 in that way. 503 00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I agree. I think it's such an important opportunity 504 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,680 for Florida to kind of reach the consumer, teach them, 505 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,960 make it fun. I feel like people have no idea 506 00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:45,920 what one of these conventions is like until they attend, 507 00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:48,400 so bringing it to their backyard or just a few 508 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,720 hours away really kind of makes it enticing. And one 509 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,559 of the things that I love about cat people is 510 00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:56,400 that they're really fun. I know that, like people say, 511 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,559 like cats have a reputation for being aloof and too 512 00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:02,720 independent and not affectionate, and we all know the cat 513 00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:05,880 people know that that's not the case. And we also 514 00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:09,039 know that cat people, when they let their hair down, 515 00:29:09,319 --> 00:29:12,119 are really a lot of fun. And I love hanging 516 00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:14,359 out with cat people. I think we're silly. I think 517 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,160 we're goofy. I think we like we're really all heart, 518 00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:22,559 all love, which is what I think cats are too. 519 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:25,160 Like they're all love. It's just on their terms and 520 00:29:25,359 --> 00:29:27,880 you know, with respect to who they are and how 521 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,119 they feel about certain situations. But one of the things 522 00:29:31,119 --> 00:29:33,920 that I love about bringing cats together is that once 523 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,319 we're all like we know we're cat people, we're like, 524 00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:38,960 it's like our it's a circle of trust, right, Like 525 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,119 you must be a good, like a really true cat 526 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,559 person if you're at a cat conference and now I 527 00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:46,839 know you're one of my people. So that's what I 528 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,279 think is so much fun about these events is that 529 00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:52,359 people maybe be strangers, but they leave friends just because 530 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,759 you know, they connected on that love of cat. So 531 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,079 apart from obviously education, you're gonna have shopping there, right, Like, 532 00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:03,359 I mean, there has to be okay, well about the shopping. 533 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:08,039 Speaker 4: Okay, so we have we are still looking for vendors. Actually, 534 00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:11,799 so if anybody's out there who has cat themed products 535 00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:15,000 for cats or for humans, you know, definitely get in touch. 536 00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:19,039 But so what we're doing is we have for the 537 00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:21,960 most part, I would say ninety eight percent of the vendors, 538 00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:27,200 if not one hundred percent, have cat related items our 539 00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:33,519 services or products, right, So everything from cat furniture. So 540 00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:37,200 we've got Mario who's coming in with space square poles. Sorry, 541 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,960 I've got space on the brain s airpoles, and he 542 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,200 builds these amazing cat trees and it could look like 543 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,680 a lighthouse or it could look like a Christmas tree 544 00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:51,640 and things like that. So and actually Mario is also 545 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,599 the architect for our lunar lounge, and he's building a 546 00:30:56,759 --> 00:31:00,119 space pod to have our adoptable or kiddies in So 547 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:00,920 that's really cool. 548 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,839 Speaker 2: That is so cool. I love the theme. I feel 549 00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:06,240 like you nailed it with like just like the location, 550 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,000 the theme, space and Cats. I mean, I'm nerding out 551 00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:10,759 over here over this. 552 00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 4: It was. It was actually it was funny because even 553 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,079 though I've lived on Space Coast now for about three years, 554 00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:20,799 originally I was looking to call it something that was 555 00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:24,319 more Florida esque, right, like sun Cats. I know, there 556 00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:25,880 was a show called Suncat, so I wasn't gonna call 557 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,319 it mat Necessa or Sunshine Cats, so you know, something 558 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,440 like that. And it wasn't really sitting well with me, Like, 559 00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:33,359 I mean, I liked it, but it wasn't like oh yeah, 560 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,119 you know. And then and then I don't know one 561 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,920 not I probably was at Kennedy's Space Center or something 562 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,200 like that and just just Space Cats came into my 563 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,960 brain and I was like, Okay, I think this is it. 564 00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:48,759 I think this has so much opportunity. So the great 565 00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:51,839 thing about it is that we can bring in you know, 566 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,480 there's it's a really fun way to theeen the event 567 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,119 besides the cat stuff and one of the harsh speakers, 568 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,480 Ellen Carroza, who's the cat LVT who's bringing Noggin, Eggbert 569 00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:08,000 and squash. She's already picked out little a and costumes 570 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,319 to put on the cats and that, Oh my gosh, 571 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,079 she's blacking all these fun things. And I realized, like, 572 00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:17,000 we're going to have a photo op stage sort of 573 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,599 area for people with a backdrop that's this really lovely 574 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:26,119 kind of galaxy back you know, grouonderful, weird, you know, stars, 575 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,160 and and I'm just thinking about all the fun things 576 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,640 we can do with little space ears or like, you know, 577 00:32:32,839 --> 00:32:35,079 just just fun stuff like that. And then we'll invite 578 00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:40,720 people to wear their space cat costumes and astronaut costumes, 579 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,160 you know, all that kind of stuff. So that's really fun. 580 00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:45,599 So other vendors that we're going to have there, we 581 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,279 have Velanakote, who does the most beautiful whisker jewelry. We 582 00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:53,839 have we have a lot of artists coming, including the 583 00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:57,920 Maclick with the fifty to fifty Company. We have some 584 00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:01,960 local vendors who are also artists. We've got a woman 585 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,599 by the name of ray Marie. She does these incredible 586 00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:10,200 pet portraits that are like they do their soul life 587 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,640 like it's it's unbelievable. But we also have vendors who 588 00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:18,960 do apparel and stickers and key chains, and then we 589 00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:23,839 have services as well, like behaviorists and holistic cat practitioner 590 00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:28,559 by the name of Laureley Medley, who's Yoda. Okay, so 591 00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,799 she's going to be and she'll be speaking as well, 592 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,759 so talking about behavior with the cats, but then also 593 00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:37,160 how to use crystals with your cats and things like that. 594 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,079 So it was really cool. So yeah, lots of really 595 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,880 fun vendors. And I agree with you. I think there's 596 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,279 something about a niche specific event like this. When I 597 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,799 first started doing them, I realized I had found my people, 598 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,799 because one hundred percent of the population coming through the 599 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,759 door was my target audience. Besides her kicking new cat 600 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,480 friends and cat lovers and geeking out and nerding out 601 00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:07,240 over cats in general, you know, unlike street fairs and 602 00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:12,800 other markets, this really was about that whole We all 603 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,480 have the same thing in common, right, and that's why 604 00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:18,159 we're all here together under one roof. And I really 605 00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:22,719 wanted to create an event that carried that energy. And 606 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,760 when you have people like Sterling coming down and Ellen's 607 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,559 got all these fun ideas for her kiddies, you know, 608 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:36,000 I know, I just know it's it's gonna be hilarious 609 00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:40,119 and fun. And yes, yeah, who knows. We're still confirming 610 00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:42,840 some speakers, so we may have a few more big 611 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,320 names coming. But even with who we have right now, 612 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,440 it's like there's there's some great names and they're very 613 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,199 well established in the cat community, and I know that 614 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,079 people on these coasts will love to meet them and 615 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,280 come and questions and do the meet and greets and 616 00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:02,119 you know, you get to meet some and take photos 617 00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:04,039 and things like that as well. And then we also 618 00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:08,239 have besides the vendors, we also have a couple of 619 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,599 activity stations and so there's one and this is part 620 00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:15,840 of the fundraising sort of side of things. Okay, So 621 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,880 the idea here is that you could come in and 622 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,760 perhaps you want to make a you know, do a 623 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,239 DIY cat toy. Okay, So we're going to have that station, 624 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,400 and we're also going to have a coloring sort of 625 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,280 gallery wall, so if there's kids or if anybody likes 626 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,079 to sit in color or they want to draw their 627 00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:37,800 own space cat, and then we'll have a galaxy wall 628 00:35:38,559 --> 00:35:41,079 to hang every pictures. And the idea is that you know, 629 00:35:41,199 --> 00:35:44,559 for a dollar donation or something like that, that everybody 630 00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:47,360 gets to put up and I think that there and 631 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,440 there's other things too, because we're we're we have an 632 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,960 event program, and then fifty percent of proceeds from the 633 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,320 event program and a couple of other of those stations, 634 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,199 those are going to be donated to cats in need. 635 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:06,119 So it's a really nice, well rounded event. Yes, it's 636 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,800 small because it's our first one, and it can get 637 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,920 very overwhelming. You you know, you mentioned earlier about organizing 638 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,840 something from scratch, from cat scratch. It's it's been a lot, 639 00:36:19,079 --> 00:36:20,920 it's I can't even imagine. 640 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,519 Speaker 2: And you had it scheduled for twenty twenty four, but 641 00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:26,599 because of the recent hurricanes, you've moved it. So what 642 00:36:26,679 --> 00:36:29,239 has that experience been like that? 643 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 4: I probably lost a few years in about two weeks 644 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,760 on that. So even though our event originally was planned 645 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,360 for October twenty sixth and twenty seventh, which is next weekend, 646 00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:43,760 even though it was still two weeks out when we 647 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,440 got hit with Helene and Hurricane Milton. So much devastation 648 00:36:48,559 --> 00:36:50,800 happening on the West coast, and that's really not too 649 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,960 far from where we're holding space cats and people's lives 650 00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:00,199 have been turned upside down. It didn't make sense for 651 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,480 us to push this event because we want to move 652 00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:08,960 forward in a positive way. But we knew and we 653 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,960 wanted to be respectful that people's priorities are their families, 654 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,559 their homes, some you know. And so while we were 655 00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:21,119 very lucky where we're situated through those hurricanes, other people 656 00:37:21,199 --> 00:37:24,599 weren't so lucky. And so I really think it's important 657 00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:28,719 to allow them the time and space to recover in 658 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,440 the way they need to. And so thankfully the Convention 659 00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:37,199 Center was really great about us postponing, and so we're 660 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,079 now going to be at the end of January, So 661 00:37:39,159 --> 00:37:41,000 January twenty fifth and twenty six. 662 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 2: I think that's wonderful. Maybe I'll be able to make 663 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,639 a trip and visit. If you need an MC for anything, 664 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,480 please lets me. 665 00:37:47,559 --> 00:37:49,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, we would love to have you for sure. 666 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 2: I love to MC, I love to do social media takeovers. 667 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,320 I will do any of it. And I know a 668 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,360 thing or two of back hats too. But I think 669 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,400 it's wonderful. Well, I think that's a great time to 670 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,760 be in Florida too, right, So, like that is officially 671 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,400 no longer hurricane season. It is a cool, nice, cool 672 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,199 season in Florida. I can't think of a better time 673 00:38:11,199 --> 00:38:13,960 to go to the Space Coast, honestly, So how do 674 00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:16,920 my How does my audience learn more about you and 675 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,880 about the event? 676 00:38:18,119 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 4: Okay, so about me?

Oh and we have 688 00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:09,400 a fabulous giveaway raffle esque tight feature of the event too, 689 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,440 so every ticket holder gets a free entry into the 690 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:19,440 raffle to win a little robot I love. Yes, well, 691 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,159 it's also we have some other really great prizes to 692 00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:23,760 go with it. It's not just the little I mean, 693 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,119 it's a little Robot. I'm really happy about that. But 694 00:39:27,159 --> 00:39:32,679 we also have other participating companies either those who couldn't 695 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,159 necessarily be with us in person, but they've kindly donated. 696 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,159 So we've got some cat beds, and we have a 697 00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:44,719 couple of cat Lady boxes and some other goodies as well. 698 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,320 So that's really cool too, and it's just a nice 699 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,400 incentive as well. And as part of the give back. 700 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,239 This is why I'm doing all of this, Honestly, it's 701 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,440 when I grew up. I had cats. I made art 702 00:39:56,519 --> 00:40:00,159 all the time. When I started getting involved with the 703 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,519 cat conventions as an artist, in selling my cat art, 704 00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:07,039 I was donating a portion of proceeds to help cats 705 00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:09,519 in need. And you know, it might not be a 706 00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:12,519 huge amount here and there, but it all adds up, right, 707 00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:17,000 and it was my way of giving back. I'm we're 708 00:40:17,039 --> 00:40:21,719 done with the fostering because I keep failing, so we're 709 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,280 sort of out of space now to to foster. But 710 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,559 you know, this is a nice way for me to 711 00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:30,320 be able to give back in a different capacity. So 712 00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:32,920 that was one of the reasons why I signed on 713 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,039 with Mission Meo as a business partner, because it was 714 00:40:35,079 --> 00:40:37,559 an opportunity for me to give back in a small 715 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:40,639 way that made, you know, collectively makes a big difference 716 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,920 in the lives of those people who help cats in need. 717 00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:48,440 You know, I think that's a really amazing you know 718 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,880 mission in itself with Mission MoU absolutely, and so I 719 00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:56,519 and I have to just finish up with this. My husband, 720 00:40:56,599 --> 00:40:59,280 when I was complaining that there were no in person 721 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,039 cat conventions happening on the East Coast, he kept saying 722 00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:05,760 to me, you have event management experience. Why did you 723 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,440 just put on your own. I was like, no, it's 724 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,559 too much work. I can't do this. And then and 725 00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:13,199 then last year he brought it up again because I 726 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,960 was complaining, you had to guess and then I was like, 727 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,599 you know what, let me see if I can find 728 00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:22,079 a venue. But again I said, like, this is what 729 00:41:22,119 --> 00:41:25,559 we would like to call a small but mighty event. 730 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,199 And I think that it's just the beginning of many 731 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,760 years to come and really kind of establishing a presence 732 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,760 here in the southeast of the country, in Florida specifically. 733 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,760 And like you just said, you know, that was another thing. 734 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:47,239 The hurricane season going through Milton and Hellen really and 735 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,559 then being able to postpone to January made us decide 736 00:41:50,559 --> 00:41:53,519 that we are actually going to make this a springtime 737 00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:56,199 event going forward. We are going to keep it out 738 00:41:56,199 --> 00:41:59,639 of hurricane season. It's way stressful and it's too much 739 00:41:59,679 --> 00:42:05,639 for so we just decided that, you know, sometime in 740 00:42:05,679 --> 00:42:08,320 that first quarter of the year is probably when we're 741 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,000 looking to hold it, maybe March April for year two, 742 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,119 but end of January will be twenty twenty five. And 743 00:42:15,159 --> 00:42:19,480 it's exciting and again just being able to collectively come 744 00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:25,159 together and get excited about cats, helping cats, helping ourselves 745 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,039 with our own cats, and then getting to shop and 746 00:42:28,119 --> 00:42:30,639 have fun. There'll be some fun activities that we have 747 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,920 planned as well, sort of some after out was. 748 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 2: Ooh after hours. 749 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 4: Love that. 750 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 2: So I want to just take this moment to say 751 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,559 one thing that surprised me about previous cat conferences, and 752 00:42:42,599 --> 00:42:44,039 I think this is going to be the case for 753 00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:48,000 yours as well. They're very family friendly. So I think 754 00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:50,800 people think of a cat conference, maybe they think of like, 755 00:42:51,039 --> 00:42:53,840 you know, like cat Con sounds like comic con, and 756 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,000 maybe it's too adult and maybe if my kid's not 757 00:42:56,079 --> 00:42:58,719 really into this is a great opportunity for kids who 758 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,280 are interested in cats but can have one. This is 759 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,800 a great opportunity for people who you know, want to 760 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,280 do something fun and educational with their kid on a weekend. 761 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,960 Teach kids about giving back, Teach kids about taking care 762 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,199 of kats, Teach kids about T and R and what 763 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,320 that even means. I have a four and a seven 764 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,159 year old, and I've not yet taken them to one 765 00:43:19,199 --> 00:43:22,079 of these because they're usually over school days. But I 766 00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:25,559 think that they're so family friendly. They're shopping for everybody. 767 00:43:25,639 --> 00:43:28,039 A lot of the vendors have stuff that's great for kids. 768 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,039 It really is a great opportunity for grandparents to take 769 00:43:31,079 --> 00:43:34,159 the grandchildren for the day or the whole family to 770 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,119 go together. And I just I can't stress enough this 771 00:43:37,159 --> 00:43:39,800 is not just for the crazy cat ladies like me 772 00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:43,800 and you, Lisa. This is for everybody. There's something for 773 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,719 everyone there. I can't stress enough what a great family 774 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,679 friendly event it is. And it's a small investment, a 775 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,719 great time and almost like just like a different world 776 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,920 to experience, right, It's just like it is out of 777 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,760 this world. It's unlike anything else you'll ever see. And 778 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,639 I can't wait to hear how it goes down. Hopefully 779 00:44:04,639 --> 00:44:07,480 I'll have the opportunity to join you in January, but 780 00:44:07,559 --> 00:44:09,320 I just want to propose a toast to you and 781 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,119 everything you're doing for the Space Coast cats.
