Grey Cat Sweatshirt: Embroidered Gray Cat Face with Gold Eyes on the Left Chest

This grey cat sweatshirt puts one small cat face on the left chest, right where a logo would sit. The face is a solid, plush gray with round cheeks, upright ears, a small black nose and a soft mouth line, and the eyes are stitched in gold with black pupils, the classic look of a British Shorthair. You can keep the gold eyes or pick another thread color for them. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, add a name or icon on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the grey cat sweatshirt?

The grey cat sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The cat face: a solid gray cat looking straight ahead, small on the left chest.
• The eyes: gold as shown, or stitched in the thread color you pick.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

Can you change the eye color?

Yes. The Eye Thread Color option keeps the gold eyes from the photos when you leave it on As shown, or stitches the eyes in any color from the thread chart in the photos. Pick green for a Russian Blue look, copper or orange for a deeper amber, or blue for a kitten, and match the eyes of your own gray cat if you like. The free design proof shows the eye color before we stitch.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the design on that color before you order.

The gray face stands out most on light, bright and dark colors, where the plush gray reads clearly against the fabric. On mid-gray heathers the face sits close to the fabric, so the gold eyes, the black nose and the outline of the ears carry the cat.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Keep the gold eyes or pick another eye thread color.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery.
• If you add it, type the name or initials, then pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your gray cat’s name, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected because it reads best on the darker colors; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a British Shorthair cat sweatshirt?

Yes. The round face, the dense gray coat and the gold eyes follow the British Shorthair, so it works as a British Shorthair cat sweatshirt. With green eyes the same face reads like a Russian Blue, and it suits any gray cat, from a Chartreux to a shelter kitty with a blue-gray coat.

Is it a good gift for a grey cat mom?

Yes. It makes an easy grey cat mom sweatshirt for a birthday, Mother’s Day or a new adoption, and a quiet gray cat sweatshirt for a cat dad who prefers small designs over big prints. Add the cat’s name on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more ideas in our cat lover gifts and cat mom gifts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same gray cat comes on our grey cat shirt. The color and size options above are for the crewneck sweatshirt.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. For a birthday or a holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a top you already own before you order; we suggest sizing up if you are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the gray cat printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The gray face, the eyes and the nose are stitched in thread, so the cat has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the cat look like my own gray cat?

This face is a ready-made design, and the eye color option gets it closer to your cat. To stitch your own cat from a photo, with its exact markings, choose the embroidered cat sweatshirt.

Are there other cat face designs?

Yes. The tortoiseshell cat sweatshirt has the same small left-chest style with a black and caramel tortie face instead of a solid gray one, and more ready-made cats are in our cat sweatshirts.
