cat portrait
A custom portrait of your cat,
from one photo
The window-sill loaf, the judgmental stare, the 3am zoomies face — pick the photo that is most them, and see it as a watercolor, a pencil drawing, a retro print or an instant-film shot in about twenty seconds.
This is not hand-painted
The artwork is made by AI. That's why it's fast, free to preview and free to redo — and why it isn't the right choice if you want a one-of-a-kind piece painted by a person. We'd rather you know before you spend anything.
Every cat, every marking
Tabby, tuxedo, calico, void — the portrait is built from your photo, so the stripes land where they actually are and the smudge on the nose stays put. Purebred or the cat who simply moved in one day, it works the same way.
Which style suits cats
Watercolor keeps long-haired cats soft and airy. Pencil makes green or amber eyes the center of the piece — striking on black cats. The instant-film style suits sleeping shots, like a photo you'd find in a drawer years later. Compare all four on the pet portrait page.

Questions people ask
Is this hand-painted?
No — the portrait is generated by AI from your photo. You see the result in about 20 seconds, redo it as many times as you like for free, and only pay for the printed product. If you want a piece painted by a person, this isn't that.
Will it actually look like my cat?
Markings, coat pattern and eye color come straight from the photo — tabby stripes, tuxedo patches and odd eyes included. Only the medium changes. The preview is free, so judge it yourself first.
My cat never sits still. What photo should I use?
Sleeping photos work beautifully — loafs and curled-up naps are some of the most popular portraits. For face portraits, a photo where the eyes are open and catch the light works best.
Does it work for black cats?
Yes, with a photo taken in decent light. Pencil style often renders a black cat's face more clearly than watercolor — both generate from the same photo, so compare for free.
What do I actually receive?
A printed product, made to order in the USA: an 8 × 10 in matte poster ($32), an 11oz mug ($29), a tee ($32) or a die-cut sticker sheet ($14). No digital files are sold.
How fast can it arrive?
Typically 7–9 days from order. Shipping is $6.95, free over $60.
Can it be a memorial for a cat who passed away?
Yes. Many people make one in memory of a cat. Our pet memorial page has gentle advice on choosing the photo and the style.
