Cat Backgrounds: 16 Designs, 14 Seamless Cat Patterns with Kittens, Yarn, Fish, Paws and Moons plus 2 Cozy Cat Scenes

Kawaii-style kitten paper fills fourteen of the sixteen designs in this cat background set, in cream, peach, mint, blush, mist blue, lilac and warm gray. The kittens are round, rosy-cheeked and drawn with warm brown outlines: an orange tabby sitting up, a gray kitten stretched out on its belly, a black-and-white tuxedo cat, and a cream calico curled up asleep. Around them float the small things cats love, like balls of pink yarn, little blue fish, paw prints and crescent moons.

The 14 patterns

Each pattern mixes those pieces differently, so they work as a set:

• Busy kitten prints: Cream Companions (01) puts all four kittens together with yarn, fish and paws, and Soft Little Friends (14) does the same on mist blue. Peachy Playtime (02), Fish Friends (07), Orange Afternoons (09) and Yarn Basket Pals (13) lean on the orange tabby with its yarn and fish.
• One-mood prints: Blossom Naps (04) is rows of sleeping calicos among tiny flowers. Moon & Sesame (05) and Quiet Tuxedos (10) are tuxedo kittens with paws, and 05 adds yellow moons on blue. Mint Mittens (03) pairs gray and cream kittens with paw prints, and Daisy Daydreams (12) puts sleepy kittens and daisies on lilac.
• Kitten-free companions: Little Yarnballs (06) is only pink yarn on blush, Paw Parade (08) is only dark paw prints on cream, and Moon Paws (11) mixes moons and paws on pale yellow. These quieter three are handy for the back of a card, the inside of an envelope or a journal page next to a busier print.

Every pattern comes as a JPG and a PNG tile. The PNG is the one to use for an exact repeat: place it at 100%, don’t rotate it, and leave no gap between tiles. Both files have a solid background color, so these aren’t transparent cutouts to drop onto another page.

The two scenes

Sunny Windowsill (15) shows an orange tabby kitten sitting on a windowsill between cream curtains, with a blue sky, a round sun and a potted flower. Moonlit Catnap (16) has a tuxedo kitten and a sleeping calico tucked together on a cloud under a crescent moon and stars. Neither one repeats, so use them as a single picture, like a card front, a page header or a cute cat wallpaper. Each scene comes square and in two widescreen sizes, with the full picture centered on a solid band of color rather than cropped. The scene files were enlarged from smaller artwork, so they look best on a screen or printed at moderate sizes.

Printing

The PDFs hold all 16 designs, one per page, as a centered square with a white border: 7.5 inches wide on US Letter and about 7.27 inches on A4. Print at Actual Size. For a full 12-inch scrapbook square, use the JPG or PNG on 12 x 12 paper instead. Colors shift between screens and printers, so print one page before a big batch.
