The cat is already the boss — time to make it official
Everyone who has a cat knows how it works. You pay the rent, you buy the food, you clean the litter box — and the cat lounges on the couch like it's a throne, with a look that says: "you should be grateful I tolerate you." A royal portrait is really just formalizing what has long been fact.
Why cats and royal portraits are a perfect match
Cats have something regal about them. That haughty gaze, that elegant stride, the way they enter a room as if it's their palace. A cat on a royal portrait doesn't look far-fetched — it looks like it belongs. And that's exactly why these portraits are so popular.
At MakeMeFamous, cat portraits are one of our best-selling products. Not surprising: the Netherlands has millions of cats, and their owners aren't exactly shy about showing their love (or opening their wallets).
Which style suits your cat?
A calm, elegant cat? Queen Victoria — with crown and ermine mantle. A cheeky tomcat with a big personality? Napoleon — small but mighty, just like him. A cat who's always in the highest tree or chasing flies? Superhero — the hero nobody asked for but everyone needs.
And for the cat who stares out the window all day as if studying the universe: astronaut. Every personality type has a perfect match. Browse all options on our create page.
The gift every cat parent dreams of
You know them: people who have more photos of their cat on their phone than of anything else. Who introduce their cat to guests as if it's a celebrity. Who unironically talk about what their cat "thinks" about things. For those people, a cat portrait isn't just a gift — it's a validation of everything they already feel.
It's funny enough to bring a smile, sweet enough to hang up, and personal enough to genuinely impress. Read more about gift options in our gift guide.
Multiple cats? Make it a dynasty
Most cat lovers have more than one cat (let's be honest, it rarely stops at one). Create a separate portrait for each cat and hang them side by side as a royal dynasty. The entire cat family on the wall, from queen to page — it's absurd, it's beautiful, and it's the best conversation piece your home has ever had.
Getting the perfect cat photo
Photographing cats is a sport in itself. Get down to their eye level — it makes the portrait far more impressive. Use natural light near a window and avoid flash (it gives those creepy ghost eyes). Lure them with a treat or toy so they look straight at the camera. And be patient — the perfect photo happens when the cat decides, not you.
