Need it today? Every print can be a digital download that arrives instantly (from £9.99). You can print it at home or at a local print shop the same day, and you see a free preview first. Framed and unframed prints are posted (3-5 working days in the UK), so they suit buyers with a little more time.
Cat lovers are usually easy to spot and surprisingly hard to buy for. Mugs and cushions with a cartoon cat on them are everywhere, but they rarely mean much. A print built from the words that describe one particular cat is different, and you can browse the full animal word art range to see how it works.

What do you buy a cat lover who already has everything cat-shaped?
If the cat lover in your life already owns the novelty socks, the cat-hair-proof throw and the scratching post shaped like a castle, the answer is something that is about their cat rather than cats in general. A word art print does exactly that: the shape of a cat is filled with words you choose, so the finished piece is unique to the person receiving it.
The Personalised Cat Word Art Print (£9.99) is the obvious starting point. It suits anyone with a cat they adore, and it works well for birthdays, Christmas, housewarmings and new-cat celebrations. Put in the cat’s name, the date they came home and the little things only the household knows, like ‘sunbeam inspector’, ‘does not do Mondays’ or ‘steals the warm spot’.
Is there a second cat design to choose from?
Yes. The shop also offers the Personalised Cat word art print (£9.99), a different cat design with the same personalisation. If you are buying for someone who has a strong sense of style, it is worth previewing both with your chosen words, since the preview is free and you can see which shape suits the wording and the room it will hang in.
This is also a good option if you are buying for two cat lovers in the same house, or if you want to give one print as a gift and keep the other for yourself.
What if the cat lover has more than one cat?
Households with several cats are very common, and a single print can cover them all. Rather than picking one name, use the words to describe the whole gang: each cat’s name, who sleeps where, who is in charge, and the shared rituals like the 5am breakfast announcement. It becomes a portrait of the household rather than of one animal.
For a bigger gesture, you could give two prints side by side, one for each cat, using the two cat designs above. A framed A4 or A3 pair looks smart on a landing or above a sideboard.
What about people who love animals in general?
Plenty of cat lovers are really animal lovers, and the same personalised style is available across other creatures. If the recipient is the sort of person who also talks about wildlife or has a favourite animal beyond cats, these all start from £9.99:
- Personalised Owl Word Art Print: for night owls and nature lovers. Try words like ‘wise’, ‘late nights’, ‘quiet’ and ‘watchful’.
- Personalised Rabbit Word Art Print: for anyone with a house rabbit or a soft spot for gentle animals.
- Personalised Butterfly word art: a lighter, more decorative choice, good for a card-sized sentiment turned into a wall piece.
- Personalised Elephant word art print: popular for words about memory, family and loyalty.
- Personalised Dolphin Word Art Print: for sea lovers, with words about holidays, friendship and fun.

Which format suits which occasion?
Birthdays and Christmas are the main moments cat lovers get gifted, but a cat print also works for a first-time cat owner’s housewarming, an adoption anniversary, a thank-you to a cat sitter, or a quiet remembrance gift.
- Digital download (from £9.99): instant, ideal if you are short of time or want to print and frame it yourself.
- Unframed print (from £9.99): posted to you, good if you already have a frame in mind.
- Framed A4 (from £22.99): a ready-to-hang gift that suits most shelves and walls.
- Framed A3 (from £30.99): a larger statement piece for a feature wall.

What words to put on a cat print
The words are what make the print worth giving, so it is worth a few minutes’ thought. Aim for a mix of the cat’s name, real details and a little humour. Specific beats general every time: ‘chases the hoover’ says more than ‘playful’. Here are three example lists to borrow from.
For a much-loved family cat
- Biscuit (the cat’s name)
- Home since March 2019
- Kneading champion
- Radiator loyalist
- Always at the door
- Our best decision
For a funny, sassy cat
- Mr Whiskers
- Knocks things off shelves
- 5am wake-up call
- Judges silently
- Box beats toy
- Rules the house
For a gentle memorial or keepsake
- Luna (the cat’s name)
- 2008 to 2023
- Soft paws
- Forever in our hearts
- Sunny windowsill
- Loved every day
A few tips: check spellings twice, keep it to words you could say out loud about the cat, and ask a family member for the in-jokes if you are buying as a surprise.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good gift for someone who loves their cat?
A personalised cat word art print is a thoughtful choice because it is built from the recipient’s own cat: the name, the funny habits, the favourite spot on the sofa. It feels far more personal than a generic cat-themed item. Prints start from £9.99.
Can I get a personalised cat gift quickly?
Yes. Every print can be a digital download that arrives instantly, from £9.99. You can print it at home or at a local print shop the same day. Framed and unframed prints are posted, with framed prints shipping within 3-5 working days in the UK.
Can I preview the print before I buy?
Yes. You design the print with your own words and see a free preview before you decide. That means you can check the spelling of the cat’s name and the layout of the words before committing.
What can I write on a cat word art print?
Anything that describes the cat or your life together: their name, adoption date, nicknames, personality traits, favourite places and habits. Short, specific words tend to work best, such as ‘midnight zoomies’ or ‘warm lap’ rather than general phrases.
Is a cat print a suitable memorial gift?
It can be. A print using the cat’s name, the years you shared and the things that made them special can be a gentle keepsake for someone who has lost a pet. Choose warm, simple words and avoid anything that might feel too busy or jokey.
How much does a framed cat print cost?
Framed A4 prints start from £22.99 and framed A3 from £30.99. An unframed print starts from £9.99, and a digital download from £9.99 if you would rather print and frame it yourself.
