Christmas Market Hidden Cat Puzzle

This Christmas cat puzzle is two games in one box: first you build a bustling Christmas market, then you hunt for your cat, who has wandered off six times. It is hiding on a stall roof, riding in a sled, napping behind a pile of gifts and generally doing what cats do best, which is being exactly where nobody looks.

The design: a Christmas market with a stowaway

The landscape picture shows a snowy old-town Christmas market at dusk, painted in bright folk colors. Rows of wooden stalls glow with warm string lights all the way to the horizon, a carousel turns at the center right, skaters glide across a pond at the lower left, and a choir and holiday crowds fill every corner.

At the top, an archway sign spans the scene, with one big version of your cat peeking over the top and a “Find (your cat’s name) 6 Times!” challenge in bold storybook letters. Six small copies (from your photos, in poses like peeking, loafing and mid-pounce) are tucked around the market: on a stall roof, in a sled, behind gifts, on the carousel, by a lamppost and on a bench. Your family name hangs on a red stall sign at the lower right. Our sample reads “Find Gizmo 6 Times! / The Parkers’ Christmas Market” for a cinnamon Devon Rex. It is a seek and find cat puzzle that rewards sharp eyes long after the last piece clicks in.

How your puzzle is made

Upload your cat’s photo, or several, and you will see a free AI preview right in the designer. The preview is an illustration only, there to show the idea. Our designers then prepare the final artwork from your original photos, hide each copy of your cat by hand (tricky, but fair) and check every detail before printing.

Each puzzle is made to order. Production takes 3–5 business days, and most orders arrive in about 8–12 business days. Free standard shipping on every US order. For Christmas, order at least three weeks before you need it, and earlier in December. If it arrives damaged or misprinted, we remake it or refund you; see our returns and refunds policy.

Photo tips for a hidden cat

Different poses make the hunt more fun, so upload two to six photos of the same cat: sitting, lying down, mid-stretch, peeking around a corner. For the big archway version, include one sharp front-facing photo with the face clearly lit. Each hidden copy is small, so your cat’s coat pattern and silhouette matter more than tiny details. Our photo guidelines explain what works best.

A family evening in a box

It suits puzzle families, holiday-break traditions and anyone who likes a slow evening with cocoa and a playlist. Choose 500 pieces for a relaxed weekend or 1000 for the dedicated crowd. As a personalized Christmas puzzle with cat and family name, it also makes a fun gift for grandparents who miss the grandkitty.
