10 family cat pumpkin carving patterns

Beginner or pro, there's something on this page for you.

Large Heart and Two Paw Prints — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Large Heart and Two Paw Prints

A large heart glows at the center flanked by a full paw print on each side, every pad and toe pierced clean through the wall. It is a natural fit for pet lovers, veterinary clinics, and rescue fundraisers. Cut the eight small toe ovals first while the shell is sturdy, then the two big pads, and finish with the heart, easing around its top notch so both lobes stay symmetrical.

Slanted Cat Eyes and Whiskers — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Slanted Cat Eyes and Whiskers

A low, wide cat face with menacing slanted eyes, a triangle nose, and long horizontal whisker slashes stretching across both cheeks. Each feature is pierced clean through, and the wide layout suits a squat, round pumpkin. Angle your saw to match the eye slant, and cut the long whiskers in two passes from the outside in so the thin slits stay crisp and even.

Cat Fangs and Four Whiskers — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Cat Fangs and Four Whiskers

A grinning cat face made for a black-painted pumpkin: big almond eyes with pointed ear tips, a triangle nose, four whisker slits, and a wide smile showing two tiny fangs. Every feature cuts through so the orange interior glows against the dark shell. Paint the pumpkin first and let it dry fully before transferring the pattern; carve the whisker slits last with gentle strokes so the paint edge does not chip.

Kitten with Long Whiskers — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Kitten with Long Whiskers

A sweet kitten face with pointed ear triangles, big almond eyes, a small triangle nose, extra-long whisker slits sweeping from each cheek, and a dainty curled smile beneath. All features are pierced through, and the long thin whiskers are what nudge this to medium difficulty. Cut each whisker as one smooth continuous stroke rather than sawing back and forth, and the slits will glow as fine clean lines.

Almond Eyes and Wide Cat Smile — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Almond Eyes and Wide Cat Smile

A sly cat face with two swooping almond eyes, a small triangle nose, and an enormous curling grin that stretches nearly ear to ear. The eyes, nose, and mouth are cut fully through, and the thin rind strips inside the smile create the mischievous cat-lip curves. At medium difficulty, the tapering eye points need patience; finish each point with a short pull cut toward the corner.

Round-Eyed Kitten and Whiskers — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Round-Eyed Kitten and Whiskers

A sweet kitten face with big round glowing eyes, a tiny triangle nose, a bow-shaped smile, perky ears, and fine whisker slits fanning from each cheek. Every feature is a simple pierced cutout sized for small hands to trace and grown-ups to saw. Cut the narrow whisker slits first with a detail blade while the wall is stiff, then open the larger eyes and mouth.

Cat Head With Curled Hat — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Cat Head With Curled Hat

A cat's head wearing a floppy witch hat, carved as one connected glowing shape with the hat brim flaring wide and the tip curling over. Pointed whisker cuts flick out from each cheek, and the whole silhouette is cut through so it lights up as a single bold window. A manageable medium carve; the curl at the hat tip is the trickiest sliver, so saw it slowly and support the rind with your free hand.

Cat With Curled Muzzle — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Cat With Curled Muzzle

A sweet cat face fills the pumpkin with big rounded eyes, a tiny triangle nose over a curled smiling muzzle, pointed ears, and three whiskers flaring from each cheek. The large eye openings keep their pupils as attached tabs of skin, which is the trickiest part of this medium carve. Cut around each pupil tab slowly and leave its connecting bridge generous so the eyes keep their expression.

Unequal-Eyed Whiskered Cat — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Unequal-Eyed Whiskered Cat

A playful cat face built from two pointed ears, one large round eye and one smaller one, a tiny nose, and three long whisker slits flaring out on each side. All the shapes are pierced through so the ears, mismatched eyes, and whiskers glow in a wide band across the pumpkin. Cut the skinny whisker slits first while the wall is strongest, then open the bigger eye holes.

Cat Face & Eight Whiskers — family cat pumpkin carving patterns
Intermediate

Cat Face & Eight Whiskers

A sweet cat face rendered entirely in surface shading: pointed ears with inner triangles, wide eyes with crescent pupils, a small nose, a curved smile, and eight long whiskers fanning across the cheeks. Nothing is pierced through, so you shave away just the orange skin and let the pale flesh show the design. At medium difficulty, keep your scraping depth even along the thin whisker lines so they all glow with the same brightness.
