Pattern description
A black-and-white cat sits alert on a soft turquoise platform in this 100×100 counted cross-stitch pattern. The feline's formal tuxedo markings—dark coat with crisp white chest and paws—are rendered in cool grays and navy tones against the muted background, creating a serene, modern aesthetic that works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric.
The intermediate skill level suits crafters ready for color blending and fine detail work. With 19 DMC thread colors, you'll navigate subtle shade transitions that bring dimension to the cat's fur and the pastel foundation.
This pattern makes an ideal gift for cat lovers and minimalist décor enthusiasts. Framed above a desk, shelf, or in a bedroom, the cool palette and sitting cat convey calm focus—a gentle reminder to pause and observe, much like a cat itself.
