Our cats love the beef formula. The turkey formula is good too but not as loved. Be careful with fish formulas as those can cause loose stools in some cats. We always add some water or broth in any wet food we serve.

Turkey Formula:
Our kittens grow up on raw food 2x a day, access to kibble, and we rotate Instinct Kitten Pate into their diet. Eventually they transition to Nulo Minced or Applaw Shredded formulas. Pates are not the best for long term tooth health. We stick to beef or chicken formulas. We always add some water into the wet food.

Adult Formula: https://amzn.to/47JJSZs

How to Use:
Why we like it: We've tried various fountains, this model/style is one of the easier to clean styles, it never gets that slimy feel like the plastic ones do, almost everything comes apart so you can really clean and sanitize thoroughly. The kitties also love to watch the water flow. We put a silicone mat underneath in case of spills when refilling. There is no water level indicator but its easy to check and you will hear/see a difference in the water flow when it's time to refill.

Good Housekeeping: Scoop your litter box a minimum of 1x a day regardless of the type of litter used. Cats are clean animals and do not want to use a dirty box. Twice a day is best if you can. Fully replace litter every 4-8 weeks as needed.
Why We LOVE this litter:
This is THE BEST litter we have tried. Unlike most clumping or scented litters, it is safe both for you your pets and little people in the home as it's made from natural materials and is unscented.
It clumps really well and masks the smell decently and unlike most that claim dust free, this one actually is. Because of it's sand like granules, it works great for longhair coats & doesn't stick to the fur. It's light color makes it easy to see any changes in urine color or quantity, and #2 helping you monitor your cat's health easier.
I recommend it to ALL of our family and friends and breeders alike. I've tried many different brands just for comparison and always come back to this one. Beats All of These in Performance: (Worlds Best, Cat Attract, Tofu, Pine Pellet, Coconut, Paper Pellet, Walnut, First Step, Oko Cat, Wheat Step,...and others)
Pair it with a functional litter mat https://amzn.to/3S8Fkpw & litter box https://amzn.to/3Oa0kew to minimize tracking.
Top entry takes some training and comfort. It's a good box for keeping tracking down as there is only one entry and exit point and the top gathers the bulk of the litter. A lot come in cuter options and other styles.

We currently do not use ANY robotic litter boxes. So why is this here? Robotic litter boxes are super hyped up but is it worth the investment? We have friends who LOVE them and others who don't. When they work properly they are super easy to use, control smell, and keep the box extra clean for your fur baby. They also have a good track record for customer service.
On the flip side, I personally don't want the risk of a kitty getting injured if the electrical mechanism fails and my cat's paw gets stuck (which happens on occasion check out YouTube). They are also the MOST difficult to clean as there are many parts and it has to be fully disassembled to be cleaned and sanitized thoroughly. We also LOVE our non toxic litter and not all robotic boxes are compatible, most require a particular one to function properly.
However, if you have older kittens/cats who meet the weight requirement, don't mind the space it takes, and want to simplify your routine, there are plenty of happy customers who would support you.

At the final step, make sure to rinse well until fur is SQUEAKY. When you think you did it enough, do another rinse for good measure. The worst thing is drying your cat after a tedious show bath to find out you didn't rinse well enough and your cat has a flat oily looking coat.
Use a blow dryer on low setting for a fluffy coat. Dryer boxes dry the coat, but don't have enough air circulation to give the lifting effect you want.

(Don't use during regular show bath as it is heavy on the coat)
Step 6: (optional) The finishing rinse seals in all the work you have done. I don't use it every time on my shorthairs and rarely on longhairs as it can weigh the coat down depending on the type of coat. Use sparingly to avoid the coat looking oily & rinse thoroughly.

This grooming spray has a pleasant scent and can be used for daily grooming of longhairs and shorthairs as desired but not necessary.
I DO NOT use it immediately after a show bath, but DO use it the morning before a show. For extra volume, use a blow dryer on cool setting to fluff. You want a clean, fluffy coat where every hair is separate from the other. Not too dry but not greasy or flat. DON'T soak the coat. You can also spray your hands and apply to the coat instead so as not to startle the cat.

Just one option of many styles of slicker brushes available. Great for fluffing up a longhair coat before a ring! You will see the difference you don't get with just a comb. DON'T use for daily grooming as it does not get to the root like a comb does.

It can be very messy if not careful hence the useful applicator brush. Also good at brightening any spots such as the bib area after a meal or tooshie after the potty. I recommend using a show bib for longhairs. For smaller areas I like the eye envy larger brush.

Eye Envy Brush:
Read your local show rules, most allow the use of white powder if it does not alter the color of the coat. It should enhance what's already there. Don't overdue it, no judge wants powder allover their hands.
Quality super sharp clipper set for dogs and cats, comes with a nice comb as well.

Watch for updates as I have a few items I am waiting for restock to create links for that we use at shows.
Affordable show tent comparable to the 'Sturdi' brand. Comes in several colors. I started with these because 'Sturdi' was out of stock. It's not as big of a tent as it looks, perfect for 1 cat.
Most exhibitors use this size for 1 to 2 cats. I usually keep the middle section open, line each side with a puppy pad. https://amzn.to/4266Jx2 B

I also typically don't leave the litter box inside for longhairs so I can supervise bathroom time. Be sure to line the litter pan with a trash bag for easy clean up.
