For the cat person who has everything

Cat owners are easy to buy for and hard to surprise: they have the mugs and the tote bags already. A 3D print of their own cat is different. It's made from a photo you choose, so it's their cat's face, colouring and attitude, not a cartoon.

It suits birthdays, a new kitten, or a thank you to a cat sitter or neighbour who feeds them when you're away.

Good cat photos for printing

Cats are perfect subjects: still, photogenic and usually sitting in good light. A close-up with sharp eyes works best. Tabbies and cats with bold markings look lovely as filament paintings, white and pale cats glow beautifully as lithophanes, and fluffy long-haired cats show off their coat as a sculpted relief.

Ideas for cat lovers

Choosing the photo

  • Catch them still: asleep, sunbathing or watching something just off camera.
  • Fill the frame with their face and keep the eyes sharp.
  • Window light brings out fur and whiskers. Turn off the flash.
  • Black cats print well as lithophanes. Brighten a dark photo a little in the studio.

Upload your photo to the studio to see exactly how it will look before you order.

Questions

Will it look like my cat?
Yes, it's made from your photo, so their markings and expression come through. The free 3D preview shows exactly how it will look before you order.
Which product suits a cat best?
All three work. Lithophanes are lovely on a sunny windowsill, filament paintings bring out tabby and ginger colours, and sculpted reliefs show off fluffy coats. Try your photo in each in the studio.
Does the lithophane come with a light?
You can add our LED light stand at checkout, from £8. It holds the panel upright and lights it from behind with a warm white or colour-changing USB light, and it's printed in the colour you choose. Without the stand, a bright window or a lamp behind the panel works well too.
How long does delivery take?
We print every order in our Manchester workshop and post it within 5 working days. Tracked delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after that, and it's free on orders over £30.
