Peeking Cat Sweatshirt: Embroidered Fluffy Tabby Kitten with a Pink Butterfly

This peeking cat sweatshirt shows a fluffy brown tabby kitten pulling itself up over a ledge with both front paws, its huge round eyes looking sideways and the tip of a pink tongue poking out, while a pink butterfly flutters just above one ear. 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 peeking cat sweatshirt?

The peeking cat sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The kitten: centered on the chest, a messy-furred brown tabby kitten with tan ears and paws, wispy whiskers, big glossy eyes, a pink nose and a tiny pink tongue, peeking between tufts of grass and small pink wildflowers, with a pink butterfly above its head.
• 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.

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 kitten stands out most on light and mid-tone colors. On dark colors the dark brown fur blends into the fabric, so the big white eyes, the tan paws and the pink butterfly carry the design, and on other deep colors the fur looks a little softer.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 4 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• 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 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 dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a cute cat sweatshirt you can wear every day?

Yes. It is a cute cat sweatshirt with no holiday details, so it works from fall through spring. The butterfly and the little wildflowers give it a soft garden feel, and the googly-eyed kitten keeps it funny rather than sweet, which makes it easy to wear with jeans to class, to work on a Friday or around the house.

Is the peeking cat crewneck for women or men?

Both. The peeking cat crewneck is unisex, so it works for women, men and teens. Women who like a looser fit often size up one size, and the fit photos show two sizes to compare.

Is it a good gift for a cat lover?

Yes. It suits a cat mom or cat dad, a friend whose kitten gets into everything or anyone who laughs at a cat watching a butterfly, and it makes an easy birthday, Christmas or just-because gift. Add their cat’s name or initials on the sleeve to make it personal.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same peeking tabby kitten with its pink butterfly comes on our peeking cat shirt, a short-sleeve T-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 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 embroidered peeking cat sweatshirt printed?

No, it is embroidered. The kitten’s fur, its eyes, the butterfly, the flowers and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the kitten look like my own cat?

This tabby kitten is a ready-made design. To stitch your own cat from a photo, browse our custom cat shirts.

Are there other cat designs?

Yes. The cat sleeping on books sweatshirt has an orange tabby napping on a stack of books, the Exotic Shorthair sweatshirt has a mini orange tabby, and more designs are in our cat lover gifts.
