introduce us to your pet

we meet up for the hand-off (or i ship it)
in the soo, we meet under a tree (a very nice one) and i hand your masterpiece over in person. anywhere else in canada, it ships tracked and bubble-wrapped like the icon it is. then hang it, frame it, make it your lock screen. tag @watabish_.
the face of the brand
chikadee watabish, unfortunately
legally chikadee. watabish for the attitude. lynx point, ice-blue eyes, extra toes, zero thank-yous.

the bish-verse™.
one adoption, both apps. sign in once and he follows you everywhere.
the lore, in four acts.
the layoff
got the 15-minute calendar invite. you know the one. walked out with a box and a dream.
the vision
bespoke cat products. inspired by the bish. the market is cats and the cats are ready.
the plot twist
bespoke requires a laser cutter. a laser cutter requires money. i have, as established, zero.
the comeback
i hand-paint your pet's portrait. you get art. i get a laser. everyone heals.
the laser fund
every portrait = one step closer to $3,920
saved: $0
headshots painted: 0
goal: $3,920
the laser cutter is how the actual watabish products happen. bespoke cat stuff, made by me, cut by a beam of light. we are SO close (we are not close).
post-laser era (manifesting)
bespoke cat furniture for cats who are, frankly, a lot
cat furniture, cat playgrounds, and whatever else the bish demands next. designed by me, approved (begrudgingly) by him.
questions you're definitely asking
is this a scam?
no bestie. it's a tiny art business with extra steps and a cat.
why only $49?
the bish thinks this is a terrible business decision. students get the classic for $29: follow and dm @watabish_ to claim.
can i get my dog painted?
yes. the bish will be personally offended. that's between him and god.
what's "bish" short for?
it's a term of endearment. he earned it. we keep it kid-friendly here.
how long does it take?
about a week. i paint between serving the bish: 4am breakfast, surprise lap duty, and emotional support whenever a leaf moves.
do you ship?
yes, anywhere in canada for $27, tracked. pick a shipped booking and add your address. it's packed in parchment, cardboard and bubble wrap, and you get the tracking number when it ships. in the soo? we still meet under a tree, free.
i booked but my payment didn't go through?
no stress. your slot is only confirmed once payment goes through, and you'll get a confirmation email when it does. no email? we'll text or email you within a day to sort it out, or message @watabish_. unpaid bookings are released after 48 hours so someone else can grab the slot.
do it.
