PHOTOGRAPHY
I take my own photos now. I have tips to share if anyone would like them, and I am always open to tips and help too! :)
Wild Feather Studios has helped me with photos from 2019-2023
grooming
I use Cats In the City often for grooming and haircuts.
I take care of their coats with a variety of products...
I like slicker brushes for a general grooming brush, combs for their tails, seam rippers for small tangles, and blue dawn dish soap for a general random bathing.
(Other products and methods are used for showing and coat health, please reach out for info as this list is huge and ever evolving)
I like Wahl clippers
