How to Use the Cat Maker
This warrior cat OC maker draws a sitting cat from the side in a clean, flat cartoon style. You build it one layer at a time, and the picture updates as you go. Here's how:
- Choose a base fur color. There are 12 natural cat colors, from black and gray to ginger, cream and brown.
- Add a pattern. Pick solid, tabby, mackerel, spotted, tortie, calico, point or bicolor.
- Add white markings. Choose how much white your cat has, from none at all to a lot.
- Pick the eyes. Choose an eye color, or give your cat two different eyes for a really unique look.
- Add features. Want some character? Add a scar, a torn ear or a short tail, and choose long or short fur.
- Name your cat. Type a name into the name box so your cat has its own identity.
- Save or share. Download your cat as a 1024 by 1024 PNG, or copy a share link that rebuilds the same cat for anyone who opens it.

How Cat Coats Work
Real cats come in lots of coat types, and Clan cats are often named and described by their fur. Here's a quick guide to the patterns you can choose:
- Solid: One color all over, like a jet-black or snowy-white cat.
- Tabby: Swirls and stripes on a lighter coat, with the classic "M" mark on the forehead.
- Mackerel: Thin, straight stripes down the sides, like the bones of a fish. It's a kind of tabby.
- Spotted: Dots and spots instead of stripes, a bit like a tiny leopard.
- Tortie: Short for tortoiseshell. Patches of black and ginger mixed together.
- Calico: Like a tortie, but with big patches of white too.
- Point: A pale body with darker ears, face, paws and tail.
- Bicolor: One color plus white, like a black-and-white "tuxedo" cat.
Fur length matters too. A long-haired cat looks fluffy and might fit a cold, windy territory, while a short, sleek coat suits a swimmer or a fast runner. Features like a torn ear or scar can hint at a cat's past adventures and give you something to write about.
Ideas for Using Your Cat
- Keep a reference picture. Use your picture as a reference whenever you draw or write about your cat.
- Write a fur description. Pair your design with the fur description generator warrior cats tool to turn your cat's look into a book-style sentence.
- Fill a Clan. Make a cat for every member of a Clan from the warrior cat clan generator and build a whole gallery.
- Design a family. Create a mother and her kits with matching coats, then give each kit a name with the warrior cat name generator.
- Play with friends. Each person makes a cat in secret, then you all share links and guess whose cat is whose.
- Profile pictures. The square PNG works great as an avatar for roleplay groups.
