Close to My Heart - Snipsnap Memorial Papercut Artwork

Regal Companions in Silhouette

This elegant paper cut captures a striking moment between a woman and her cat—two strong personalities perfectly comfortable in their shared space. The woman cradles her feline companion in her arms, both facing opposite directions with unmistakable poise. It’s a portrait of mutual respect and unspoken understanding, like a queen holding her fellow queen.

The scene is not sentimental in an obvious way; it’s confident, composed, and unapologetically stylish. The attitude of each figure tells its own story, but together, they form a visual symbol of deep connection and elegant independence.

Paper Cut Technique with Character

This paper cut is more than just delicate craftsmanship—it’s storytelling through silhouette. Fine incisions bring out the flowing lines of the woman’s hair and arms, while the cat is defined with sleek fur textures and subtle posture. The interplay of shadow and shape creates a dynamic presence, almost like a still from a graphic novel.

Despite the monochrome nature of the medium, the detail brings depth. The tilt of the woman’s chin, the arch of the cat’s back, and the shared glance toward different horizons—all add character without saying a word.

A Unique Pet Silhouette

This isn’t your average pet silhouette. It doesn’t merely outline a cat’s shape; it channels its personality. Whether it’s the proud lift of the head or the relaxed yet aware body language, the image expresses a presence that will be instantly familiar to cat owners.

Unlike typical cat portraits, this one places equal importance on the human-animal relationship. It’s about shared identity, not just representation—making it a standout among pet memorial gifts.

A Pet Memorial That Honors Personality

As a pet memorial, this piece avoids sentimentality for its own sake. It’s about legacy, dignity, and the lasting impression pets leave behind. If your cat was more than cute—if she was proud, sassy, and truly her own being—then this silhouette honors her in a way no ordinary keepsake can.

Among handmade pet memorial gifts, this one leans into individuality and grace. It’s not about loss; it’s about celebrating the distinct energy that once filled your home.

Tailored to Your Story

Like all our designs, this paper cut can be custom modified to reflect your unique experience. Want to adjust the hairstyle, the angle of the cat’s ears, or even the expression? Every element is open to personalization, so your piece becomes a true reflection of your shared bond.

Available with customizable background cards, this artwork adapts effortlessly to different interiors and moods. Whether bold or soft, the background brings additional nuance to the silhouette.
