Cats don’t do holiday cheer on command, which is exactly why the photos are worth printing. This custom cat Christmas shirt is a personalized bootleg-style tee with your cat’s name in big chrome, Merry Christmas in white script underneath and your own photos in the collage below.
How to order your personalized cat shirt
- Select tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and a size.
- Choose the shirt color, then one of 15 design colorways.
- Upload 3 to 8 sharp photos of your cat to replace the sample tabby.
- Enter the cat’s name for the headline; the Merry Christmas script is already part of the art.
Saving the elf-hat evidence for every December
- Christmas cat shirts are all cartoon kittens with tangled yarn
- The elf-hat photo lasts four seconds and then the cat bolts
- Holiday gifts for cat people tend to be one more ornament
The funniest cat Christmas photos are the ones where the cat looks deeply unimpressed. Gift-box and ornament-swat photos sit in a glowing collage under the cat’s name in chrome, with Merry Christmas in script to make it a holiday shirt.
One finished example: Clementine, gold colorway 13, the gift-box photo in the center with an ornament swat, a wreath pose and a blanket nap around it.
What it looks like
Our sample custom cat portrait shows an orange tabby in a knit elf hat and a jingle-bell collar. He sits in a red gift box covered in snowflakes, swats at an ornament, poses by a wreath and passes out on a knit blanket.
String lights and a crackling lightning glow wrap around all of it. Colorways pictured include pink-magenta, purple-pink-blue, hot pink, green and gold, with 15 on the chart, so the Christmas cat shirt can be as loud as you like.
Do the photos have to be festive?
Not at all. The script handles the holiday part. Everyday shots of your cat on the couch or in a sunbeam look great, and a funny pet shirt is often funnier when the cat looks completely unimpressed.
Who gets a custom cat Christmas shirt?
Usually a wife or grown kid is buying for the cat person who wrestles the cat into an elf hat every December. That cat tolerates it for four seconds, and the evidence lives on a phone nobody looks at after New Year’s.
She gets the cat into a costume every December whether it agrees or not, so the shirt keeps those four seconds for good.
He sleeps with the cat on his chest every night, and a hoodie with that face lets him admit it in his own way.
When the whole family comes over, the hosts can wear the real ruler of the house to open presents.
If her cat knocks every ornament off the tree each year, a tee with the culprit’s swat photo is a gift with a laugh built in.
Kids who moved away can send Mom a cat lover gift starring the family cat instead of another candle.
Garments and fit
The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is garment-dyed, 6.1 oz, 100% ring-spun cotton in a relaxed unisex fit, S–4XL.
A personalized pet sweatshirt is the cozier route: the 1566 crewneck in 80/20 fleece (S–3XL) or the 1567 hoodie (S–2XL) with a jersey-lined hood, drawcord and pouch pocket. True size fits relaxed; size up one or two for an oversized feel.
Check the size guide before choosing. For Christmas morning by the tree, there’s also a Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve in S–3XL.
Grandkids who adore the cat can match in the Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee (XS–XL) or the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie (2T–5/6T).

FAQ
Can I add a cartoon cat or a famous singer?
No. Celebrities, rappers, athletes and other public figures can’t be printed, and neither can logos, brands, team marks or cartoon cats. Use photos from your own camera roll or ones you may use. If an order asks for that, it’s canceled and refunded.
Will a black or white cat show up well?
Yes. Pick a shirt color that contrasts with the fur, and the chrome glow outlines the cat either way.
Is there a year printed on it?
No year appears on the art, so the shirt works every December.
