Laser-engraved in Portland

We convert your photo into a two-color engraving file and burn it into vegan leatherette. The laser removes the top layer to reveal the contrasting color beneath.

What makes a good cat photo

Laser engraving produces a two-color product — the laser removes the top layer to reveal a contrasting color underneath. No gradients, no fine shading. Photos with strong contrast and clear outlines translate best. We convert your photo to a high-contrast image optimized for engraving.

✓ Works Great

  • • Close-up face shots with clear features
  • • High contrast (dark cat on light background)
  • • Sharp, well-lit photos (natural light is best)
  • • Simple backgrounds or solid colors
  • • Bold silhouettes and outlines
  • • Minimum 1000×1000px resolution

✗ Won't Work Well

  • • Blurry or low-resolution photos
  • • All-black cats with no visible features
  • • Busy backgrounds (furniture, clutter)
  • • Multiple cats in one photo
  • • Extreme close-ups (just an eye, nose)
  • • Heavy filters or color effects

Each leatherette has two layers — the laser burns through the top color to reveal the one beneath.

💡 Pro tip for dark cats

If your cat is all black or very dark, photograph them against a light wall or white sheet. Side lighting helps pick up fur texture and facial features that the laser can capture. We'll work with you to get the best result — if a photo won't engrave well, we'll let you know and ask for another.

💡 Best patch color by cat color

Light/white cats → Black/Gold or Grey patch (dark background makes light fur pop).
Orange/tabby cats → Rawhide or Sand (warm tones complement warm fur).
Dark/black cats → Sand or Rawhide (light background shows dark features best).
