Our First Christmas With Cat Heart Ornament

This first Christmas with cat ornament marks the year your household became three: two people and one cat who already decided which side of the bed is theirs. A red-and-white gingham heart frames a cream panel where your cat sits between two little hearts with your initials, under the words “Our First Christmas”. It is a sweet way to remember the first tree you decorated together, and the first one your cat tried to climb.

A gingham heart for two people and a cat

The outer heart is printed in classic red-and-white gingham, like a picnic blanket or a farmhouse tablecloth. Inside, a slightly smaller cream heart panel leaves a band of gingham all around. “Our First Christmas” arches across the top of the panel in a rounded retro script, and your cat sits in the lower middle with front paws together, flanked by two small red hearts that each hold one initial in white.

Below the cat, the three names run in one line, and the year sits at the tip of the heart. Our example reads “Our First Christmas / Jake + Mia + Pickles / 2026” with the initials J and M – you add your own names, your cat’s name and the year, and we take the initials from your names. As a couple and cat Christmas ornament, it gives everyone in the family equal billing, and the cheerful red works on a classic green tree as well as a white one.

How your ornament is made

Upload a photo of your cat and you will see a free AI preview. The preview is an illustration only, there to show the idea. Our designers then prepare the final artwork from your original photo and check it by hand before printing, including every name and initial. Each ornament is made to order and ready to ship in about 3–5 business days; plan on about 8–12 business days from order to delivery. Free standard shipping on every US order. For Christmas, order at least three weeks before you need it, and earlier in December. If your ornament arrives damaged or misprinted, we remake it or refund you – our returns and refunds policy explains how.

Photo tips for the heart panel

Your cat appears sitting upright with front paws together, so a full-body photo of your cat sitting and facing the camera works best. Get down to your cat’s eye level, keep the whole body and tail in the frame, and choose daylight over flash so tabby stripes stay clear. The design shows your cat on its own, so there is no need to wrangle everyone into one picture. Our photo guidelines explain more.

Who it suits

It suits newlyweds, a couple who just moved in together, or partners who adopted their first cat this year. It is also a thoughtful “Our First Christmas” cat ornament for friends or parents to give, since they know how much that cat means. Years from now, this first Christmas with cat ornament will be the one you unwrap with a smile.
