CatBats

27/03/2026

And we are live! CatBats is officially up and running. Check out all we have to offer on our website, https://www.catbats.co.uk.

What are CatBats? As the name would suggest, they are a delightful combination of your cat (or a friend's) with an adorable, spooky bat. When you order a CatBat you get your very own custom design which you can then do whatever you want with - make stickers, t-shirts, mugs - the sky's the limit.

We have a bit of a ...different company philosophy, you can read about it on the website. We're also pledging to donate the cost of a single CatBat - £15 - to a Cat or Bat charity of the lucky customer's choice for every 10 CatBat orders.

Feel free to ask me any questions here or by email: [email protected].

I'd love it if you can share this post and take CatBats to the world!

A great gift for cat lovers everywhere - with a spooky twist! We take photos of your beloved cat and turn them into a fun, gothic CatBat.

It's come to our attention that there are Imposters on the loose. From us you only get genuine, 100% original CatBats, not these weird fake knockoffs.

BatCats? TemuCats is more like it!

Stay aware, everyone.

TW: for the spider phobic (a not particularly realistic sketch of said creature).

That being said - what if the bat were not attacking the beloved Mouton? What if they were just trying to be friends, but lacked a common language? Does no-one think of the bats?

The original catbat! Our mascot Máni hails from the Netherlands, and is known for being sharp of tooth (just one tooth, though) and food motivated (who isn't!). Together with his sister Sól he causes mischief and drinks as much water from the tap as possible.

This is Willow. (Hi, Willow)

Luckily he was already a hybrid cat/tiger, so the transition to cat/tiger/bat wasn't too difficult. 11/10, would pet (carefully).

Would you like a CatBat? While we're working on the website, you can email [email protected] if you have a request.

Hi there, spooky crew!

I'm a disabled graphic designer with an energy-limiting autoimmune condition living in London, England.

One day, out of the blue, I was struck with some idle inspiration - what would my friend's cats look like as adorable bats? Purely on a whim I put together a little trio of CatBats - and found them very cute indeed. And maybe... an idea?

For a long time I haven't been able to take on any work at all due to my chronic illness, so this is a bit of an adventure in learning to pace myself. I will be taking only a limited number of commissions each month, and any deadlines will have to be flexible, so bear that in mind if you need something within a time limit.

But! I'm already having a lot of fun (virtually) meeting all your cats, finding out all about them and distilling them into cute bat form, and I look forward to meeting more.

What about payment, I hear you ask? There will be a tiered system for payment. Basic price for one CatBat will be £15. You'll send me a few photos, we'll have one round of revisions, and then you'll be the proud new owner of one digital CatBat. I'll supply all the file formats you need to show off your CatBat on social media, as well as files you can take to the many printers of things - stickers, notebooks, postcards, t-shirts, mugs, teatowels, you name it. I'm happy to recommend places to go.

The next tier up will offer more revisions and more formats to play with.

After that there will be an entirely custom tier for if you want anything more elaborate. Perhaps you have a scenario you want to create with your CatBat(s) - a piece of digital art, a full custom design for a piece of clothing, a tattoo, whatever strikes you as a good idea.

And finally, for that day we hope never comes - an In Memoriam portrait option. Same price as a 'regular' CatBat, but as many revisions you want, and including any personal items you might want to add to your design.
