About the ghost cat stencil
A ghost shaped like a cat with pointy ears: half ghost, half kitty, all cute. It is one of the most shared designs in the gallery, especially among cat owners who want something spooky but sweet.
Eight bridges keep the eyes, whiskers area and tail details in place. The ears are the narrowest part of the outline, so cut them slowly and do not twist the saw at the tips.
Tips for this design
- Print Medium or Large; the whisker area is fine at Small.
- Pair it with the cat on the moon stencil for a cat-themed porch.
- A short, round pumpkin suits the chubby ghost body.
Carving the ghost cat stencil
Eight bridges keep the face and tail details in place. The pointed ears are the narrowest part of the outline, so saw them with two straight cuts each. Finish the wavy ghost tail before the body to keep the bottom of the design strong.
Cut the face details first, then the ears, then the wavy ghost tail, and the body last. Full transfer guide.
Common mistakes
- Twisting the saw at the ear tips.
- Cutting whisker details too thin.
- Choosing a tall pumpkin, which stretches the chubby body.
Lighting and display
The ghost cat is a crowd favorite on porches and in windows. A warm orange LED makes it cozy; a pale blue one makes it ghostlier. Pair it with the sitting black cat or the cat on the moon for a cat-themed display. It also photographs well next to a real cat, safely away from the light.
