About This Cat Design
This canvas takes a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward, fur rendered in overlapping short strokes across the flank and chest as its subject, rendered in warm greys and soft browns with bright eye highlights against a tonal background. The mood settles at calm and companionable, which is what keeps it easy to live with. Cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. It is for people who relax through repetitive, hands-busy work. Designed for bedrooms and home offices, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference Q4857. cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it, and the treatment of the colour is what carries it.
cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. Hung in bedrooms and home offices, the calm palette does the work and the artwork stays understated.

With 1 canvases in the kit, the project runs across a longer stretch of evenings.

How to Make It
- Unroll the canvas on a flat surface and let it settle under something weighted if it has been rolled tight.
- Find the legend strip and match the first symbol to its drill colour.
- Press the pen tip into the wax caddy, then touch it to a drill – the drill lifts and stays on the tip.
- Set the drill onto the matching printed symbol and press lightly. Work one colour block at a time rather than jumping around the canvas.
- Continue until the design is complete, then press the finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Seat the canvas in its frame, or store it flat, once the surface has been pressed.
Finish it at an unhurried pace, then frame it — the canvas is built to be displayed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the diamond painting kit complete, or is the base sold separately?
Yes. The Cat diamond painting kit ships complete with everything shown in the product images, so there is nothing else to source, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference Q4857.
Will the Cat finish dull or lift with use?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Cat design holds under normal use. The sealed surface handles normal handling, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. The resin drills bond firmly across the Cat pattern.
Is there a wrong way to clean the Cat diamond painting kit?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge it or put it through a dishwasher — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Cat palette, warm greys and soft browns tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Keep the Cat piece away from standing water.
How dense is the drilling on the Cat design?
The round resin drills are colour-sorted and matched to the printed symbol key. The Cat artwork is drawn so that a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward reads clearly at any distance. There is no printed fill showing through on the Cat design.
Is the Cat diamond painting kit a quick make or a longer project?
Plan for two to four evenings, depending on the size of the canvas. The Cat design is calm and companionable, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Cat layout is easy to put down and pick up again.
Would I cope with the Cat design as a novice?
Yes. The symbol key is printed directly on the canvas and the pictorial instructions walk through the whole process, so no prior diamond painting experience is needed. The Cat layout is calm and companionable, which helps on a first attempt. No separate tools are required.

This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. Color count is higher than my earlier kits, which shows in the finished piece. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. I’ll be buying more from this shop. Solid kit, would order again.

The color range on this one is impressive. Legend is printed on the canvas itself, which I find handy. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. This shop has a repeat customer in me.

I wanted a full-size piece for the wall above the couch. Full drill coverage means no blank canvas showing through. Great value considering how many hours of enjoyment it gave me. I’d have liked the border a touch wider for framing. Still worth it overall.
Leo M. (verified owner) –
Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. Looks lovely framed and hung up. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.

Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. Edges have enough margin for framing. I’m a sucker for anything kitty-themed. The finished piece looks stunning in natural light. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Tara Black (verified owner) –
I added this to my cart at 11pm and had zero regrets the next morning. The tweezers included were actually good quality. One section had a lot of similar shades, which slowed me down. The kitty motif makes it feel special. It’s up in the hallway and gets noticed. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Jasmine C. (verified owner) –
Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. The kitty design is even prettier in person than in the photos.

I’d recommend it with that one note.

Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. I do a section a night with a podcast on. It was worth every evening I put into it. Would recommend to anyone on the fence.
Don Schroeder (verified owner) –
The detail on this canvas is what sold me. The paper backing peeled away without pulling up any drills. It’s the sort of project that makes an evening feel well spent. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Happy with this one.

I bought this for the detail work — it doesn’t feel repetitive. The canvas rolls flat after a night under a couple of books. It’s the kind of hobby that makes an evening feel well spent. Completely satisfied.

Bigger than it looks in the photos, which was a nice surprise. It’s framed and on the wall now. Two thumbs up.
Vanessa A. (verified owner) –
This kept me busy for a solid month in the best way. Full drill coverage means no blank canvas showing through. It’s a charming cat piece and everyone comments on it. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. It’s framed and hanging in our the bedroom now. Still worth it overall.
WindyCityWax (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. It came rolled and flattened out with no creases. It’s my go-to when I need a quiet evening. It photographs well, which is a bonus for sharing. Already looking at what to get next.

Olga Knowles (verified owner) –
Took me about a month of evenings and I’d do it again. The overall composition reads clearly from across the room. If you like cat designs, this is a good example.

Picked this up during a sale and it was money well spent. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. The symbols on the chart were easy to follow from start to finish. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. It fills the wall exactly the way I hoped. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.

Michell Mason (verified owner) –
The detail on this canvas is what sold me. The kitty pattern is what made me choose this one. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. Easy recommendation from me.
Flora Mcdonald (verified owner) –
Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. The glue is tacky enough that I can reposition if I misplace a drill. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. I gave one to my parents and they were speechless. Very happy with this purchase.
Diane Morrison (verified owner) –
Ordered two so my sister and I could work on them side by side. I went with the kitty version and the colors are lovely. The glue is tacky enough to reposition a misplaced drill. It gets complimented every time someone new sees it. I’d recommend it to a friend.
Brian Weber –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. The glue is tacky enough that I can reposition if I misplace a drill. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Really pleased with this one.
