What skill level is the Napoleon Cat kit suitable for?

This is an intermediate level kit. The pure black background paints quickly and establishes the dramatic setting immediately, while the Napoleonic uniform with its gold epaulettes, brass buttons, layered red cape, and the cat's facial detail provide the most rewarding and precise work of the project. No prior experience is needed.

What does the Napoleon Cat Paint by Numbers Kit include?

The kit includes a 40x50cm pre-printed premium linen canvas with numbered sections, a full set of numbered acrylic paints in your chosen colour count (24, 36, or 48 colours), three artist brushes in small, medium, and large, and a printed reference sheet showing the finished design.

What colour count should I choose for the Napoleon Cat kit?

36 colours is recommended for this design. The rich costume detail across the uniform requires subtle tonal variation in the gold, navy, and red sections that the 36-colour version delivers far more effectively than the 24-colour option. The 48-colour version is ideal for experienced painters wanting maximum depth and realism in both the uniform and the fur.

How long does delivery take for the Napoleon Cat Paint by Numbers Kit?

A tabby cat in a Napoleonic military uniform: deep blue jacket, gold epaulettes, brass buttons, and a sweeping red cape, all set against a pure black background that makes every detail glow. The expression says everything. This is a paint by numbers for adults kit that works as a statement piece, a gift, and possibly the most dignified portrait your wall has ever seen. Part of our Animals collection and a perfect match for our personalised gifts collection.

Striking dark palette: deep navy, rich crimson, warm gold, and the natural tones of ginger and white tabby fur against black

No experience needed: every section is pre-numbered, no colour mixing or guesswork required

Why this piece is a joy to paint

Black That Works for the Painter

The pure black background is the first and fastest section of the entire canvas. Covering it early establishes the dramatic stage on which every other colour performs. The deep navy of the uniform jacket, the vivid crimson of the cape, and the warm gold of the epaulettes and buttons all land with extraordinary intensity against the black, making each section feel like a genuine reveal as it goes on. The finished canvas has the visual authority of a formal portrait painting. For more characterful animal designs, read our paint by numbers animals guide.

The Costume Is the Challenge

The Napoleonic uniform is one of the most satisfying costume sections in the collection. The gold epaulettes with their rope detail, the layered brass buttons down the jacket front, the gold sash, and the deeply folded red cape each offer a different and absorbing painting experience. Working through the uniform section by section is the kind of detailed, meditative work that makes a kit memorable long after it is complete.

A Gift With Genuine Personality

For cat lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a painting that takes itself seriously while being entirely aware that it should not, this is one of the most memorable gifts in the collection. The finished painting commands a wall in a way that very few designs can. Browse our Best Sellers collection for more designs with this level of character and impact.

⭐ Choosing Your Perfect Kit

Which Colour Count is Right for You?
More colours mean more detail, smoother transitions, and a more realistic final painting.

24 Colours (Standard): Great for a classic paint by numbers feel with bold, distinct colour blocks. Perfect for beginners and simpler designs.
36 Colours (Most Popular): Highly recommended for most paintings. This option captures subtle details in faces, landscapes, and pets, creating a richer, more nuanced result.
48 Colours (Ultimate Detail): The ultimate choice for complex, high-resolution designs. This provides the most realistic and impressive finish with the smoothest colour gradients.
