Vintage Catnip Seed Packet Art Print

This custom cat art print looks like a seed packet from a 1920s garden catalog, except the crop is your cat. Faded reds, greens and mustard, a scalloped top and old-fashioned lettering give it the feel of something found in a drawer at a farmhouse sale, and your cat sits in the middle of a catnip patch looking completely blissed out.

A seed packet for one very special variety

One large cream packet fills most of the portrait print, set on a cream ground with a soft drop shadow, edged with a thin green inner border and finished with a scalloped top. The catnip brand line arches across the top of the packet in ornate tomato-red display lettering.

In the middle, your cat sits among tall catnip and cat-grass stems, rendered with a soft lithograph texture and sniffing a leaf with half-closed eyes. Just below, a green ribbon carries the variety line: “Variety: Pumpkin” in our example, with your own cat’s name in its place. The small print in the bottom band reads “Net Wt. 12 lbs of Trouble” and “Sow in sunbeams”, the only planting advice a cat has ever followed. As a cat seed packet print in cream, catnip green, tomato red, mustard and warm brown, it brings a little garden charm to a kitchen, a sunroom or a potting corner.

How your print is made

Upload a photo of your cat, type the name for the ribbon 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, set your cat among the catnip and check the colors and spelling by hand before printing. Each print is made to order and framed in about 3–5 business days; plan on about 8–12 business days from order to doorstep, so order with time to spare for a birthday or a housewarming. Free standard shipping on every US order. If your print arrives damaged or misprinted, we remake it or refund you – see our returns and refunds policy.

Photo tips for a catnip close-up

The design shows your cat sitting, so a photo of your cat sitting upright with the whole body in view works best. A side or three-quarter angle suits the sniffing pose, and a happy, dreamy face is perfect: try the moment just after the catnip comes out. Bright daylight shows the coat colors clearly; ginger, cream and tabby coats look especially good against the green stems. Your cat does not need to be near any plants in the photo. Our photo guidelines have more tips.

Who it suits

It is perfect plant lover cat wall art for the friend who grows herbs on every windowsill, keeps a pot of cat grass going year-round or simply likes vintage kitchen decor. A custom cat art print like this makes a warm housewarming, birthday or just-because gift, and it suits a gardener’s mudroom just as well as a city kitchen.
