Cat Photo Pillows Starring Your Own Cat

Cat Photo Pillow Designs, Square and Lumbar

None of these is a plain photo stretched across a cushion. Each pillow puts your cat into a small scene, with the name worked into the design so it looks like it was always meant to be there.

Square pillows

• Cat Loaf Bakery Pillow: your cat in its finest loaf pose on an illustrated bread board, under a bakery label that reads "Freshly Baked" and "Contains: 100% Loaf". Made for the cat who folds its paws away and becomes a dinner roll.
• Cat Cafe Menu Pillow: a chalkboard menu with your cat perched on top as the manager. You choose the cafe name and the silly menu items.
• Cat Lady Needlepoint Photo Pillow: a grandmillennial needlepoint look with pink cabbage roses on black, your cat in a cream oval and "A Cat Lady Lives Here" on a ribbon. The stitches are printed, so nothing snags on claws.
• Harvest Moon Woodblock Cat Pillow: a Japanese woodblock-inspired autumn print with your cat on a branch against a pale-gold moon, the name in a red seal stamp.

Lumbar pillows

The Cats on the Bookshelf Lumbar Pillow fits one to four cats lounging between rows of books, each name printed on a nearby spine and your family name on a brass plaque. For two cats who share everything, including your side of the bed, the Purrfect Match matchbook lumbar pillow seats them together in a cream heart. A festive papel picado birthday design completes the cat lumbar pillow lineup.

How a Custom Cat Pillow Is Made

1. Upload your photos. One clear photo per cat works best for the multi-cat designs, and you can add up to 6 photos per item. Type the names and any short line the design uses.
2. Check the free AI preview. It is an illustration of the design idea, not the final print.
3. Our designers finish the art. They prepare the final artwork from your original photo and check it by hand, keeping your cat's real markings and eye color.
4. We make it to order. Production takes 3–5 business days, most orders arrive within 8–12 business days, and standard shipping is free on every US order.

Planning a Christmas gift? Order at least three weeks before you need it, and earlier in December.

Sizes, Cover and Choosing the Photo

Every pillow has a smooth flannel cover with a faint peach-skin texture and a knife-edge seam. The design is printed edge to edge on the front, and the back is plain white.

• 16" x 16" square: a tidy size for an armchair, a window seat or a stack on the bed.
• 18" x 18" square: the classic sofa size, with more room for detail.
• 12" x 20" lumbar: a long rectangle for the bed or a reading chair, and the best shape for a row of cats.

Because the print covers the whole front of a cat photo pillow, a sharp photo matters more than a perfect pose. Pick the photo to suit the design: a loaf-shaped side view for the bakery pillow, a head-and-shoulders shot for the needlepoint oval. For several cats, separate photos give a much cleaner result than one group shot. Our photo guidelines walk through light and framing, and the guide to gifts for people with multiple cats has more ideas for full houses.

Who Gets a Personalized Cat Pillow

• The cat mom who already lets the cat choose the sofa cushions: start with the needlepoint or cafe menu pillow, then browse more cat mom gifts.
• Couples and two-cat homes: the matchbook lumbar and the sticker-sheet pillow are among our Valentine's cat gifts.
• Birthdays and gotcha days: the papel picado pillow prints the years of purrs, next to other cat birthday gifts.
• A whole room: pair a cat picture pillow with a clock, tile or doormat from our cat home decor.

A cat photo pillow is also a kind gift for someone who misses a cat far away, like a student whose cat stayed home.
