Cat portraits
Cat portraits with all the attitude intact.
Cats are famously hard to photograph and impossible to fool. PetsPainter preserves the details cat people notice: exact eye color, the pattern of a tabby's stripes, the asymmetric patch on a tuxedo's chin.
Choose a regal Royal Oil for the cat who runs the household, Botanical Dream for a softer mood, or Neon Night for a black cat who deserves the spotlight.

Photo tips for cats
The better the photo, the better the likeness. More in our complete photo guide.
- 01
Catch them relaxed. A sunny windowsill gives soft, flattering light and a calm expression.
- 02
Turn off the flash. It turns cat eyes into glowing discs and flattens fur texture.
- 03
Shoot at cat height and leave some space around ears and whiskers.
- 04
A feather wand held near the lens gets a curious, direct gaze.
Cat portrait questions
Will black cats come out well?
Yes. Choose a photo with some light on the face so the eyes and fur sheen are visible, and the artist will keep the coat rich and deep.
Is eye color preserved?
Eye color is one of the details we specifically ask the artist to keep, including odd-eyed cats.
My cat never looks at the camera. Will it still work?
A profile or three-quarter view works well. What matters most is a sharp, well-lit face.
✦ One photo. Endless personality.
They already run the house.
Now hang them in it.
