Grey Cat Shirt: Embroidered Gray Cat Face with Gold or Blue Eyes on the Left Chest

This grey cat shirt puts one small cat face on the left chest, right where a pocket logo would sit. The face is a solid, plush gray with round cheeks, upright ears, a small black nose and a soft mouth line, the round-faced look of a British Shorthair. In the photos the eyes are stitched gold on some shirts and blue on others, and you can pick either one or any other thread color. It is a ready-made design on a soft, short-sleeve T-shirt: 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 shirt?

The grey cat shirt has 3 parts:

• The cat face: a solid gray cat looking straight ahead, small on the left chest.
• The eyes: gold or blue as shown in the photos, or 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.

How do you pick the eye color?

Use the Eye Thread Color option. As shown stitches the eyes the way they look in the photo of the shirt color you choose, gold on some colors and blue on others. To pick for yourself, choose any color from the thread chart in the photos: gold or copper for a British Shorthair, green for a Russian Blue, blue for a kitten, or the eye color of your own gray cat. The free design proof shows the eyes 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 very dark colors, where the plush gray reads clearly against the fabric. On mid-gray shades the face sits close to the fabric, so the eyes, the black nose and the outline of the ears carry the cat.

How do you order your T-shirt?

To order your T-shirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the T-shirt color and size in the options above.
• Keep the eyes as shown 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 short sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your 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 dark shirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a British Shorthair shirt?

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

Is there a sweatshirt version too?

Yes. The same gray cat comes on our grey cat sweatshirt for cooler days. Choose this T-shirt for warm weather or layering, and the sweatshirt for a cozy fleece.

Is it a good gift for a grey cat mom?

Yes. It makes an easy grey cat mom shirt for a birthday, Mother’s Day or a new adoption, and a simple gray cat shirt for a cat dad who likes 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.

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 T-shirt 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 T-shirt you already own before you order, and size up if you want an oversized look or are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered T-shirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and the color even, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the T-shirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold with similar colors, and use only non-chlorine bleach.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Skip the dry cleaner, and if you iron, 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, see our custom cat shirts.

Are there other cat designs?

Yes. The tortoiseshell cat sweatshirt has the same small left-chest style with a black and caramel tortie face, and more ready-made designs are in our embroidered pet T-shirts.
