Cat Memorial Card with a Tabby Angel on a Cloud

Cat Memorial Card shows a line of printed words, no matter how long we have with them, it's never long enough, and those words say what many cat owners already feel. The orange tabby above them gives the sentiment a face, so the message arrives softly rather than sharply. It is made for the person who still notices the empty spot on the windowsill.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

The design in detail

The centerpiece is an orange tabby cat seen from behind, its striped back and curled tail facing the viewer. A thin golden halo floats above its ears, marking it as an angel now. The cat rests on a blue watercolor cloud whose soft edges blur into the white background. Two orange paw prints sit below the lettering, a small reminder of the paws that once walked across your floors. The printed words are set in a simple, rounded capital typeface in black, centered beneath the cloud, and they read in three short lines. Together the warm orange, the cool blue and the bright halo create a calm, hopeful picture that suits a card about loss.

When it gets used

People usually reach for this card when a friend, neighbor or coworker has lost a cat they loved. Sometimes it goes to a family member who grew up with the animal, or to a partner who spent years sharing the couch with it. You can slip it into the mail with a few handwritten lines about the cat's favorite spot or habit. It also fits a moment when you want to acknowledge grief without making a long speech, because the picture and the short line do most of the talking.

Good occasions

This card suits the days right after a cat has passed, when cards and visits are still arriving. It is also a kind choice for a later anniversary of the loss, or for a birthday when the person is missing their pet. Children who have lost a cat may find the cloud and halo easier to understand than long explanations. Keep one on hand for the moment someone tells you their cat has died.
