Cat SVGs for shirts, mugs and one very judged litter box sign
9 of our own cat designs with practical cutting notes for Cricut and Silhouette.
Every file in this roundup was drawn in our own studio and test-cut before it went on sale, so you won't find broken paths or stray points here. These designs cut cleanly at anything from 3-inch decals to 12-inch shirt fronts, and each one ships as SVG, PNG and DXF so it works in Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio and laser software alike.
Our general rule for designs like these: mirror anything going on a shirt, use a fresh fine-point blade for detailed interior cuts, and size the artwork to at least 60% of your blank's printable area so it reads from a distance. Specific notes are under each design below.

Cutting & making tips
- Weed large background pieces first, then interior details — reverse weeding tears fine ornament lines.
- For HTV, mirror the design and press at the vinyl maker's stated temperature; peel per the carrier sheet type.
- Detailed ornamental designs cut best at 8 inches or larger on standard vinyl.
- Group tiny interior pieces in your software and cut a test square before committing a full sheet.
- Save remnants: designs under 4 inches are perfect for tumbler decals and card fronts.
