Those eyes are the first thing you notice. Big round emerald green circles, each one built from multiple stitch layers so they have actual depth and a little highlight fleck sitting in the corner. The rest of the cat follows from there. Silver-grey tabby fur with darker charcoal stripe marks across the forehead and down the sides. Cream white chest bib sitting right in the middle where the darker fur parts. Tail curled around to the side and the paws tucked neatly underneath like a proper well-behaved house cat.

13 colours and 12 colour changes make this the most involved cat design in my range. Stitch density hits 1,447 which is high, meaning the fur fills are genuinely lush and thick. professional tools ran the body fur with directional stitching so each section of the coat follows a different angle, the same way real cat fur grows in different directions from the spine outward. Stitch count is 25,789 on a 3-in mini size and peaks at 67,401 on the full 7.5-inch. So the big size takes abit of time but the result is genuinely portrait quality. Its not gonna be a quick lunch-break hoop, its a proper sit-down project.

Cat lovers keep buying this one as gifts and as pet memorial pieces. A customer sent me a message in march saying she stitched the 6-inch on a wheat canvas tote to remember her cat who passed, and she cried when it came off the machine. Its the kind of thing that makes the extra digitising hours worth it, honestly. Wouldnt trade that for anything.

Theres really only one rule here: stitch on a pale ground. White, cream, oatmeal, very light grey. The emerald eyes need light fabric to pop and the cream chest bib disappears on anything darker than mid-grey. Use mesh cutaway stabiliser underneath for the fur density because 67k stitches on stretch fabric without proper backing is asking for puckers. Keep your bobbin fresh for this one, long colour-change sequences chew through thread faster than youre expecting.
