Easy

Oval-Eyed Cat With Two Curls

A friendly cat face built from simple shapes: two pointed ears with inner triangles, big oval eyes, a tiny triangle nose, a curled smile, and three long whiskers sweeping out from each cheek. Every element is cut through, so the whole face lights up at once. The whiskers are just narrow slits, which is why kids can manage this one; poke each slit through with the tip of the saw and lengthen it slowly.

Easy

Tall Cat With Rounded Teeth

An upright cat face sized for taller pumpkins: leaf-shaped eyes, a small triangle nose, three long whisker slits on each cheek, pointed ears, and a smiling mouth with rounded teeth left in place. Every feature is a simple pierced cutout. Carve the skinny whisker slits with a fine blade before opening the larger eyes and mouth so the wall stays stiff while you work.

Easy

Round-Eyed Cat With Whiskers

A sweet cat face built from simple shapes: two triangle ears cut near the top, round eyes, a small triangle nose, and three thin whisker slits fanning out from each cheek. Everything is a cut-through, so the ears, eyes, and whiskers all glow at night. It is an easy carve overall; save the skinny whisker slits for last and use a narrow saw with short strokes so the slits stay crisp.

Sitting Cat & Curled Tail

A cat sits in profile with its ears up and its long tail curling around its feet, all rendered as one softly glowing shape. Instead of cutting holes, you shave away the skin inside the outline so the thinner wall lights up while the pumpkin stays sealed. Use a loop tool or vegetable peeler and keep the depth even; this easy shading style is very forgiving for first timers.

Sitting Black Cat Pumpkin Stencil

A cartoon-style black cat sits centered in a large oval cutout on this pumpkin stencil, its round body, pointy ears, and grinning face left as pumpkin skin while the oval background glows with light. The curling spiral tail sweeps to the right inside the oval, and thin whisker lines extend from each cheek. When carving, cut the large background oval first to establish the shape, then carefully remove the small eye and smile details, keeping the curled tail's narrow inner spiral intact by working slowly around its center loop.
