Sphynx cat photo collage, made from your own photos
Warm suede against your neck at six in the morning. The tiny sweater with the reindeer on it. The way she finds the one patch of sun in the house and owns it until dinner. A Sphynx cat photo collage is cut to a Sphynx sitting tall, side-on, with those huge bat ears and a long, elegant neck, and filled with every blanket burrow and every lap she ever stole.

How many photos fit
Every figure comes from the layout engine rather than a rule of thumb. The suggested count is where each photo prints about two inches across, big enough to make out a face from across the room. The minimum is 9 photos; below that, parts of the outline can be left without a photo. The Sphynx sits tall and slim, a little over half as wide as she is tall, so a portrait print suits her best, such as 12 × 18″, 16 × 24″, 20 × 30″ or 24 × 36″.
| Print size | Photos | Suggested |
|---|---|---|
| 12 × 12″ | 9–60 | 10 |
| 12 × 18″ | 9–100 | 20 |
| 16 × 20″ | 9–140 | 25 |
| 16 × 24″ | 9–170 | 35 |
| 20 × 20″ | 9–180 | 25 |
| 20 × 30″ | 9–275 | 55 |
| 24 × 24″ | 9–250 | 35 |
| 24 × 36″ | 9–375 | 80 |
| 30 × 40″ | 9–525 | 100 |
| 36 × 54″ | 9–875 | 180 |
| 40 × 60″ | 9–1075 | 225 |
Questions
Mine is pink, grey or spotted. Does that matter?
Not at all. The outline has no color of its own. Your photos carry the pink, the grey, the freckles, the cream or the black, and every little wrinkle, so it looks like your cat and nobody else's.
Will people know it's a Sphynx?
Yes. Those big bat ears and the long neck give it away from across the room. The tail is tucked in close against the body, the way a Sphynx sits when she's keeping warm, so the whole cat stays one neat, tall shape.
Can I use it as a memorial?
Yes. A Sphynx lives right up against you, under the blanket, on your shoulder, in your bed, and the quiet after they go is hard. Fill it with the years you loved most and add a name and dates underneath. Our pet memorial collages have more gentle ideas.
What occasions is it good for?
- A birthday or gotcha day for the warmest cat you know
- Christmas for the cat lover with a drawer full of tiny sweaters
- A memorial for a cat who was never more than a lap away
- A kitten's first year, from wrinkly little bean to full-grown shadow
- A thank-you for the breeder who sent you home with your first Sphynx
Which photos should I put in it?
- Every sweater, hoodie and holiday jumper she put up with
- Under the covers with only the ears sticking out
- Pressed against the heater, the laptop or the dog
- Bath day, wrapped in a towel and deeply offended
- Kitten wrinkles, up close, before she grew into them
What can I write under the outline?
- Gizmo · 2012–2026
- All heart, no fur
- My little shadow
- Forever warm in our hearts
- The best lap thief there ever was
