Cat Urns: Memorial Options for Your Feline Companion
Share
Cat urns are typically smaller than dog urns, reflecting the more consistent size range of most domestic cats, and are available in styles ranging from simple and understated to playful designs that capture a cat's unique personality.
Typical sizing for cats
Most domestic cats weigh between 3 and 6 kilograms, meaning a cat urn typically needs a capacity of around 150–250ml. See our broader pet urn sizing guide if your cat was larger or smaller than average.
Popular styles for cat urns
- Cat-shaped or silhouette urns — a gentle, recognisable tribute.
- Small ceramic keepsake urns — simple, elegant, and suited to display anywhere in the home.
- Photo urns — featuring a printed image of your cat.
- Paw print jewellery — a way to carry a small portion with you personally; see our guide on paw print cremation jewellery.
A gentle memorial for a quiet companion
Cats often hold a particularly quiet, constant presence in a home, and many owners find comfort in choosing an urn that fits naturally into their everyday surroundings — a favourite windowsill, a bookshelf, or wherever your cat used to spend their time.
