Cat Laser Cut SVG Designs for Halloween and Year-Round
A black cat is the one Halloween motif that never tips over into gore. It works on a front door in early September, it still looks right on a shelf in November, and nobody in the house has to be talked into it.
Below are the cat laser cut SVG designs, walked through one at a time: what each piece actually is, where it goes, and what it does once it is up. Some are a single design, some come as part of a bundle, and that is noted where it applies.
At the front door
The door round is the workhorse of Halloween decor. One cut, one hook, and the whole entry reads as decorated.
Welcome Scaredy Cats Round Sign
Two cats sit on a curling branch under the words “Welcome Scaredy Cats”, with bats and little stars filling the space around them. The big cat has that flat, unimpressed stare cat owners know well; the small one beside it is clearly copying.
It is the friendliest greeting in this list. Nothing on it is frightening, so it suits a house where small trick-or-treaters come to the door, and the joke lands on adults too.
Peeking Cat Boo Sign
The round is split across the middle, and the cat is hauling itself over that line: paws hooked over the edge with claws out, ears up, tail flicked over the other side. Under it sits a big “Boo!”, a few bats, and a spider dangling on a thread.
The cat is raised off the panel rather than sitting flat on it, so the whole thing reads as an animal climbing your door rather than a picture of one. Good for a house with kids, and it photographs well, which matters if you cut to sell.
Black Cat Crossing Round Sign
Here the cat takes the whole panel: a large head with narrowed eyes looking straight out, “Black Cat Crossing” arched over the top, “Enter if you dare!” tucked into the corner.
Where the peeking sign is playful, this one is a stare. Hang it at eye level and it does the work of a much bigger decoration, because the face meets people before they reach the doorbell. The lettering stands proud of the panel, so it keeps its shape against the cutout behind it.
Happy Halloween Fence Sign
A whole porch scene folded into one circle: “Happy Halloween” in a curling script across the top, stars in the gaps, and below the fence line a cat sitting beside two jack-o’-lanterns, one grinning wider than the other.
It is a single panel with nothing to align or glue, which makes it the quickest piece here to get from file to front door. The cutwork is open enough that whatever is behind it shows through and becomes part of the picture.
Two Cat Signs from the Door Sign Bundle
Two designs from the same bundle, and the cat is handled in opposite ways.
On the welcome sign the cat gets top billing. It sits on the left of the plaque with its tail curled up behind it and its eyes cut wide, taller than the pumpkin and the ghost beside it, and it is the shape the eye lands on first. Under the three figures the plaque carries “Welcome to Our Haunted House” with small jack o lanterns in the corners and spiders picked out between the lines. Nothing on it is frightening: the joke is that the haunted house has a house cat.
On the second sign the cat hides behind the panel. Only the ears, the eyes and two paws come over the top edge, hooked on like it is pulling itself up to see what is going on. The panel below is a whole night in one piece: “Happy Halloween” in a curling script, a haunted house on the left, a bare tree and a spider on a thread on the right, a bat overhead, grass along the bottom. Those two yellow eyes are all it needs, and everything else is engraved flat, so the cut is quick.
Take the welcome sign for a hall console where people stop, and the peeking cat for a spot where it will be seen from further off.

Two Cat Rounds from the 48 Design Bundle
Two rounds from the same bundle, both built on a cat and a light background, and they suit different doors.
On the first, two cats sit shoulder to shoulder in front of a full moon, looking straight out with narrowed eyes and their tails curling up behind them. “Happy Haunting” arches over the top in raised letters, with bats crossing the moon. The pair is the joke: one cat is decor, two staring at whoever opens the door is being watched.
On the second, a single cat sits in silhouette with its back to you, tail up, in front of a row of grinning jack o lanterns that fills the whole lower half. “Happy Halloween” runs across the top in a thick script, and a ring of bats forms the outer edge of the round.
The first is quieter and reads at night, the second is louder and reads in daylight from the street. Bats around the rim make the second one look bigger than it is, so it suits a wide door.
Forty eight designs in this door sign bundle, listed with PDF, SVG, DWF, DWG, EPS and AI files.
Out in the yard
Black Cat Crossing Yard Sign
An arrow reading “Black Cat Crossing” with a cat swinging from it, both front paws hooked over the sign and a bat in the corner. It mounts on a stake that goes into the ground, arrow and cat near the top.
The pleasure of this one is scale: it stands at path height, so people meet it walking up rather than at the door. It comes in a bundle of ten directional designs, so one file can line a whole path instead of decorating a single spot.
On a shelf, and after dark
Indoors the pieces get smaller and the light starts doing half the work.
Cat and Pumpkin Scene Panels
Three panels from the same bundle, all cut to the outline of a pumpkin, stem and all, each holding a different night scene inside.
In the first a cat arches its back under a spider web, a bare tree leaning across the top and a jack-o’-lantern grinning at its feet. In the second the cat sits and looks up past a crescent moon toward a haunted house with bats streaming out of it. In the third the cat faces you, fur up, caught mid-fright among branches and clouds.
They hold attention the way a picture does: there is more to find the longer you look. Cut one for a shelf, or all three and stand them in a row along a mantel, since the shared pumpkin outline makes them read as a set.
Cat Tealight Holders
Two holders from the same bundle, built the same way: a cut piece standing on a base that takes a tealight, with the candle behind throwing the shape onto the wall several times larger than the piece itself.
In the first, a cat with an arched back and bristled tail stands on a grinning jack-o’-lantern, so the shadow arrives as a whole scene, teeth and all. The second is the same idea stripped to one element, just a grinning cat face. Because there is nothing to read, the shadow lands harder: you see the grin on the wall first and only then notice the small piece of wood making it.
Both are small cuts on simple stands, quicker than the signs above and a good use for offcuts. Cut the pair and one candle gives you two completely different moods.
Small pieces and gifts
Floral Cat Ornament
A sitting cat with a lace-like pattern of vines, leaves and a flower cut through the body, so whatever is behind shows through the openings. A hole between the ears takes a cord for a branch, a hook or a window latch.
It is the one piece here that is not really about Halloween. Hang it in a window and it earns its place all year, which makes it the safe choice when you are cutting a gift for someone whose taste you are guessing at.
Wooden Cat Bookmarks
Three tall bookmarks, each with cats climbing through curling vines: one peers over the top, one hangs off a branch, one stretches along the bottom edge. A butterfly turns up on two of them.
Small, flat and quick, which makes them the piece you cut when you need several gifts at once: book club, teachers, a stocking.
Putting them together
Taken as a set, these cover a whole Halloween evening from the outside in: the yard sign along the path, a round on the door, the pumpkin scene on the mantel, and the tealight holders throwing cats up the wall once it gets dark.
Two of them are not tied to the season at all. The floral ornament and the bookmarks stay useful in November and make good gifts, so they are worth cutting even if you are only decorating for one night.
One more thing worth knowing if you cut to sell: Creative Fabrica lists these files with a commercial licence, so the pieces you make from them can go to a market stall or a shop, not just your own front door.
