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.

Valentine's Day Bookmarks to Cross Stitch

If you like your cross stitch designs full of color and with a bit of an 8-bit video game feel, you’ll want to check out Flossy Fox Shop. This Etsy seller based in Washington state specializes in fantasy creatures, cozy witch scenes, magic and myths, as well as other designs that are sure to delight.

I know that shop category “cozy witch scenes” caught my attention, so let’s take a look. It’s mostly sampler style designs with lots of little elements, and some are specifically parts of the house like a cozy with kitchen or library. The one shown here is called Bats and Bells, Tea and Spells, and it includes a table in front of a window with plenty of fun creatures like a fox, crow, dragon and cat.

On the wall there are swords and an axe, and maybe also some drying herbs and a teapot. The design is 82 by 77 stitches and uses 22 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 5.9 by 5.5 inches, or almost 15 by 14 cm.

The largest category is myths and magic, which includes cryptids, dragons, mermaids, kitsune and other fanciful creatures. Another large group is animals and nature, which is heavy on cats and corgis, as well as foxes.

There’s also a handful of cute bookmarks, some Christmas designs, and a few cute video game inspired designs. They also have a few stitchalongs if that’s something you enjoy.

These projects are colorful, cute and whimsical, and look like they would be a lot of fun to stitch if you like this style.

The shop also includes some cute needle minders and washi tape in a similar style if you want to coordinate your stitching.

Check out all the cuteness at Flossy Fox Shop, and if you stitch up one of their patterns I’d love to hear about it!
