Farewell Cat Card: So Hard To Say Goodbye Suitcase Design

Farewell Cat Card shows “So Hard To Say Goodbye” above a sleepy orange cat resting in an open suitcase, and the line tells the person leaving that you will miss them. The cat seems to be refusing to let the trip begin, which makes the goodbye feel warm rather than sad. It is made for anyone saying goodbye to a coworker, friend or family member who is moving on.

Artwork and lettering

The main subject is a fluffy orange cat curled up in an open blue suitcase. Its eyes look up toward the viewer as if it has no interest in leaving. The words “So Hard To Say Goodbye” sit in brown capital letters across the top of the card, with small gold hearts and leafy sprigs framing them. Inside the suitcase lie folded clothes in blue, plaid and green, a passport, a camera and a few postcards. A small tag reads “Adventures Ahead,” and a wrapped envelope and a ball of twine rest on the floor beside the case. The watercolor style gives the whole scene a soft, hand-painted look that suits a travel theme and a thoughtful farewell.

Made for this crowd

People who notice the cat first are often the ones who will miss someone the most. A coworker picking out a card for a colleague who is retiring or changing jobs will see the suitcase and understand the message right away. Friends sending off someone who is moving to a new city will like the travel details. Family members saying goodbye before a long trip can use this farewell card to add a light touch to a heavy moment.

Moments it suits

Use this card at a going-away lunch, in a team card that circulates around the office, or on someone’s last day. It also fits moving day, a graduation send-off or a note tucked into a bag before a trip abroad. Give it to someone who is starting a new chapter and want them to know that their absence will be felt. Available in the Greeting Card style.
