Coats, not pedigrees

The patterns most house cats actually have.

If you are trying to match somebody's real cat, coat pattern gets you there faster than breed. These six cover the majority of cats people live with.

Calico
Asymmetric white, black, and ginger — one dark ear, one ginger, because calicos never match side to side.
Tortoiseshell
The mottled black-and-ginger blend rather than distinct patches. Tortitude included at no extra charge.
Tuxedo
Black and white in the formal arrangement, wearing a red bow tie in case the point was unclear.
Orange tabby
The ginger classic: M-striped brow, green eyes, ringed tail, and a certain confidence.
Gray tabby
A mackerel-striped gray stalking through wildflowers with the tail held straight up.
Black cat
Silhouetted on a windowsill with the moon behind and two gold eyes doing all the work.
On printing a big batch: five designs sit on pale backgrounds and use a fraction of the ink — the Sphynx, the Scottish Fold, the yarn cat, the library cat, and the paw print. Those are the ones for a class set or a shelter adoption table. The two night scenes are edge-to-edge dark and are better saved for the few you actually want to keep.
Fifteen portraits

And the breeds, if you want the pedigree.

Drawn to the features that make each breed recognizable rather than to a generic cat in different colors.

The Maine Coon gets the ear tufts and the plume tail, the Turkish Van is swimming because that is the thing Turkish Vans do, the Ragdoll is flopped on its back with all four paws up, and the Munchkin is drawn honestly short-legged. Six more designs are not about breed at all: a kitten wedged into a cardboard box, a cat asleep on a stack of library books, a very unravelled ball of red yarn, three cats loafed into a three-tier tower, a giant paw print with a heart-shaped pad, and a cat traced in stars across the night sky. Those last few are the ones people print for themselves.

Cat bookmark questions

Before you print.

Is there a calico cat bookmark?

Yes, and a tortoiseshell one too, which is the design people usually want next. The calico is drawn the way calicos actually are — asymmetric white, black, and ginger patches, with one ear dark and the other ginger, because no two calicos have matching sides. The tortie is the mottled black-and-ginger blend rather than distinct patches. If you are trying to match a specific cat, those two plus the tuxedo cover most of the tricolor cats people live with.

Are these crochet, cross-stitch, or origami cat bookmark patterns?

No — these are flat printable bookmarks you print on card stock and cut out. We are saying so plainly because most cat bookmark searches are looking for a crochet pattern, a cross-stitch chart, or a folded corner cat, and none of those are what this is. There is no yarn, no chart, no folding. The trade-off is speed: about a minute from opening this page to a finished bookmark.

Which cat breeds and coat patterns are included?

Nineteen: calico, tortoiseshell, tuxedo, orange tabby, gray tabby, black, Siamese, Maine Coon, Persian, Bengal, Russian Blue, British Shorthair, Abyssinian, Ragdoll, Norwegian Forest, Turkish Van, Bombay, Korat, Munchkin, and Scottish Fold — plus a Sphynx in a sweater. The remaining designs are not breed portraits at all: a kitten in a cardboard box, a cat asleep on library books, a cat with a ball of yarn, three cats stacked in a loaf tower, a giant paw print, and a cat drawn in constellation stars.

Do you have a white cat bookmark?

The closest is the Turkish Van, which is a mostly-white cat with an auburn cap and tail — the traditional van pattern, drawn swimming, which is what that breed is known for. The Persian is cream rather than pure white, and the Ragdoll is a pale colorpoint. We would rather tell you that than call something white when it is not; if a solid white cat is what you need, none of the twenty-seven is exactly that.

Can I print a set for a classroom or a shelter table?

Yes. Fill sheet repeats one design four times per sheet, or you can mix four different cats on one sheet, which works better for a table where everyone picks a favorite. Five designs print ink-light on pale backgrounds — the Sphynx, the Scottish Fold, the yarn cat, the library cat, and the paw print — and those are the ones to use for a large batch. The night scenes are lovely and will drain a cartridge.

Are the cat bookmarks free?

Completely free — no account, no email, no watermark, nothing locked. Your browser builds the PDF, which means any name you type stays on your own computer and never reaches us.
