I am Not a Cat Cross Stitch Patterns

Cross-stitchers love a good meme, so it was only a matter of time before some stitchers turned the “I’m not a cat” lawyer into stitchable art.

Here are some patterns you can stitch up for your favorite lawyer/cat/meme aficionado, all from Etsy.

I’m not a cat from Lela Co Designs features the funny cat and the line “I’m not a cat.” The design is 75 by 58 stitches or about 5.4 by 4.1 inches stitched on 14 count fabric. It uses 20 colors.

AnnyFunnyXX adds the black square of a Zoom meeting around the cat’s face in their I am not a cat design. This one is 64 by 69 stitches, or 4.5 by 4.9 inches on 14 count fabric and uses 10 colors.

Stay Sane Stitchery has another take on the lawyer cat with a 4-color project. This one is 54 by 65 stitches, or 3.9 x 4.6 on 14 count.

Crafty Queer Designs take the lawyer cat to another cartoony level with a cat that’s dressed like a lawyer. So cute! This one is fit for an 8-inch hoop and uses backstitching to make the face rather than cross-stitching.

Include more of the famous line with this “I’m here live, I’m not a cat” design from Pink Baby Cabbage. It comes out to 4.93 x 3.79 inches and uses 8 colors.

Vet in Stitches includes the full line in their design as well, which is more words than cat but still fun. This one is 45 by 67 stitches and 4 colors. They also have another option that’s a little bigger (90 by 80) if you’re into that.

Or check out this one from perseverate, which looks like it would be pretty quick to stitch up with the simple line text and a small cat design. This one is 38 by 39 stitches so you can stitch it up to share on your next Zoom.

Zoom lawyer cat from the appropriately named Stitched Cat adds sweet green eyes with just a hint of the desperation you feel when you’re on a professional call with an unprofessional filter turned on. It uses 9 colors and is 68 by 70 stitches.

I left myself a note when I added Colorfully Sarah Shop to my list of shops to write about that says “small but adorable.” I was talking about the shop in general — which as of this writing has just 40 patterns — but it’s also true of the designs themselves.

These cute, candy colored designs are sure to make you smile and are probably as fun to stitch as they are to look at. Let’s take a closer look.

You know a shop (or its owner) defies categorization when the largest category (albeit only by one) is “other.” Other is all hoops of little icons, whether frogs with conversation hearts, different shapes of pasta or a set of colorful cupcakes.

I chose this set of Jellycat style kawaii creatures to highlight because it’s super cute and would be fun for a kids room or a kid at heart. The design include 13 little characters, including a bunny, penguin, croissant and marshmallows, the sun and moon and a octopus. My teenager would love this one!

It measures 88 by 87 stitches and uses 25 colors. The designer suggests using 14 count fabric and putting the design in a seven-inch hoop.

This design gives you a pretty good idea of the style and the colors that are used in a lot of her designs. Animals is the next biggest category and they’re the same kind of projects, with multiple little animals. The frogs are back, this time with mushrooms. There are axolotls, bunnies and “spring insects” including butterflies, moths and beetles.

Other categories include fall, Christmas and video games (which has a collection of retro controllers, some Starwdew Valley icons and a set of pastel potions).

All of the patterns are adorable and sure to bring a smile while you stitch and when you display them or give them as gifts.
