Personalized Custom Cat Portrait Christmas Shirt with Santa Hat and Your Cat’s Name – Vintage Photo Tee

Black cats look great in a Santa hat, and this custom cat portrait Christmas shirt with name proves it.

We sketch your cat from a photo, set a red hat with a fluffy white pom on her head, and print her name behind her in tall antique gold letters on a personalized tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.

Upload her cat’s photo

What can I send for a cat face shirt?

One photo where her face is sharp and reasonably well lit. That’s it. Dark cats need decent light so we can pick out the eyes and the texture of the fur; a window in the afternoon works better than a lamp at night.

Head-on or a slight turn both sketch well, and she doesn’t need to wear anything. The hat comes with the design.

1. Choose the product type and size.
2. Pick a shirt color. The gold name and red hat are fixed parts of the art.
3. Upload her photo. Luna steps aside and your own girl gets sketched instead.
4. Type her name as it should print. Example: Salem.

Can a sketch really look like her cat?

• Cartoon cat shirts never look like her actual cat
• Black cats turn into a dark blob in most photo prints
• Christmas gifts for cat people default to a paw-print mug

A cat mom can tell in one glance whether a shirt shows her cat or just some cat. Her cat sketched in gray pencil lines from your photo, a slouchy red Santa hat on top and her name in tall antique gold letters standing right behind the ears.

When it’s done, you get a gray pencil portrait of your cat in a red hat with SALEM standing tall behind her.

Luna’s sample: a cat portrait Christmas shirt with name

Luna is a black cat with big round eyes and long white whiskers, staring right out at you. Her hat slouches off to the right. Her ears poke up through the gold lettering, so the name looks like it’s tucked behind her.

Black and gray sketch lines, one red hat, one gold name, and nothing else on the shirt. It’s a Christmas cat shirt that stays quiet and still gets noticed.

Cat mom sweatshirt or tee: who it suits

Often it’s a mom or sister shopping for a young woman who just moved into her first apartment with a black cat in charge. She’s seen plenty of cartoon cat sweaters and wants her own cat, right down to the whiskers.
