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.

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.

A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. Full drill coverage means no blank canvas showing through. Made this as a gift for my parents’ anniversary. Easy recommendation.

I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. The finished piece looks stunning in natural light. Really glad I bought it.
Stephanie H. –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. It fits perfectly with the decor in the living room. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Savannah M. (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. Hung it in the hallway and it brightens the whole space. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Amelia W. (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. The canvas didn’t dry out over the weeks I worked on it. It fills the wall above the sofa nicely. Would definitely buy again.
Jack V. (verified owner) –
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.
Patricia V. (verified owner) –
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.
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.
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. Symbols are printed clearly even in the busy areas of the kitty section. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. Made this as a gift for my parents’ anniversary. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Austin P. (verified owner) –
This kept me busy for a solid month in the best way. Hung it in the hallway and it brightens the whole space. Loved it, no regrets.
Shane K. (verified owner) –
Such a nice little project to have on the go. Framed in a simple black frame and it looks like real art. The kitty piece really pulls the room together once it’s hung. The glue picked up a bit of dust over the weeks I worked on it. Overall a good experience.
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.
Tammy P. (verified owner) –
Bigger than it looks in the photos, which was a nice surprise. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. This one is going straight on the wall. Will be back for more.

Janet Wells (verified owner) –
Bigger than it looks in the photos, which was a nice surprise. It’s a nice conversation piece when people visit. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. Still a solid purchase.
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.
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.
Ethel Cooper (verified owner) –
I hung it in the hallway and people always ask where I got it. Symbol letters are small but legible, and the legend helped a lot. Looks lovely framed and hung up. Glad I went with this one.
Kathleen A. (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. The chart on the side of the canvas is clear and easy to follow. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. It fits perfectly with the decor in the kitchen. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Kara Ortega (verified owner) –
Ordered two of these and gave one away as a gift. Gave it to my brother as a gift and it went over really well. Took longer than the estimated time, but that’s on me. The kitty palette works really well with the design. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Trisha Barnes (verified owner) –
This is the largest kit I’ve done and it turned out beautifully. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. One bag of drills had come open in transit. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Alice D. (verified owner) –
The color range on this one is impressive. Legend is printed on the canvas itself, which I find handy. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Hung it in the hallway and it brightens the whole space. Would definitely buy again.
Zelma Francis (verified owner) –
Bought this to fill a blank wall and it did the job. It’s the centerpiece of that wall. The adhesive attracted a little dust over the weeks. Would still recommend it.
Ira Woods (verified owner) –
Ordered two of these and gave one away as a gift. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Grace Armstrong –
Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. No missing colors and nothing short in the high-use shades. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. Gave it to my wife as a gift and it went over really well. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.
Felix Mercer (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye on the new arrivals page. It’s hanging in the guest room now and looks great. Would definitely buy again.
Guy Sargent (verified owner) –
A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. The kitty detail is impressive up close. Color count is higher than my earlier kits, which shows in the finished piece. I find it relaxing to just follow the chart and let my mind wander. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Rodolfo Powell –
This kept me busy through the whole winter. Full drill coverage means no blank canvas showing. I did most of it over a lazy weekend and enjoyed every minute. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. I gave one to my sister and she immediately ordered her own. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Evelyn A. (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. Framed in a simple black frame and it looks like real art. Thumbs up from our whole family.
Bernard Lewis (verified owner) –
This was my first diamond painting kit and I’m officially hooked. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. It was worth every evening I put into it. Would make a great gift too.
Jessica Coleman (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Symbol letters are small but legible, and the legend helped a lot. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. The colors tie the room together. Would definitely buy again.
Deborah M. (verified owner) –
I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. The kitty artwork looks great up on the wall. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. Very happy with this purchase.
Alana Crawford (verified owner) –
Bought this to fill a blank wall and it did the job. The canvas is a good weight with a detailed print underneath. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. The canvas had a faint mark from the printing on one edge. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Steven L. (verified owner) –
Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. Edges have enough margin for framing. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Would make a great gift too.

I hung it in the hallway and people always ask where I got it. The sparkle on these drills is genuinely nice. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. I’d recommend it to a friend.
Rosa Solis (verified owner) –
I needed a screen-free hobby and this fit the bill. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. There’s enough margin on the edges for framing. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. It’s my go-to when I need a quiet evening. It brightens the whole hallway. Will be back for more.
PotteryPaula (verified owner) –
The detail on this canvas is really nice up close. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. Hung it in the hallway and it brightens the whole space. Happy customer here.
Willa Whitehead (verified owner) –
This was my first full size canvas and it turned out better than I hoped. Nice large format, the finished piece makes a real statement. Pre-sorted drills would save time. A peaceful project that fits into whatever time you have. It gets compliments from everyone who sees it. Overall a good experience.
Leland Hayes (verified owner) –
Took me about a month of evenings and I’d do it again. The chart on the side of the canvas is clear and easy to follow. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. The cat colors are richer than the photos show. Delighted with it.
