If you’re looking for some cat pumpkin carving ideas then you’ve come to the purrrfect place for cat-o’-lantern inspiration! I’ve picked out some my favorite cat pumpkin carving designs – from the simple yet super-effective to the more intricate and highly impressive.
For the trickier designs we recommend using a carving kit (like this one on Amazon) to help you achieve the finer details.
1. The cute cat pumpkin carving
If you’re going against the grain and aiming for cute over spook, then try adding some whiskers to your cat-o’-lantern.
2. The scowling cat
This cat pumpkin carving has eyes that look right at you!
3. The painted pumpkin
Black cats are said to be unlucky and are usually the choice of witches, so painting your pumpkin is a great way to stand out from the crowd.
4. The pet portrait
If you’ve got a cat and are feeling creative, give a pumpkin portrait a go.
5. The scaredy cat
This cat has seen something you haven’t so keep your eyes peeled!
6. The pumpkin pose
This cat carving has an inside-out-look, which removes the background and leaves the cat behind.
7. The purfectly precise
If you’re feeling artistic, here’s a cat design to try.
8. For extra amusement
A fun way to make use of the less-than-perfect pumpkins.
9. The cat on a pumpkin... in a pumpkin
Going for double pumpkin trouble here.
10. The one with ears
I love how this carving has extended beyond the pumpkin to add cute little ears.
11. The one with all the teeth
This cat carving looks like he can’t wait for the trick-or-treaters to arrive!
12. The cat and the moon
Adding a moon to your pumpkin carving will add an extra spook factor.
13. The jack-o’-lantern goals
Give yourself three to five working days to complete this masterpiece!
14. Another not to be attempted by mortals
We are SO impressed with this cat carving. It’s full marks from us! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
