Meet the cute cat cup from our Cat’s Daily Routine series: a 225 ml porcelain cup with a cheerful cartoon cat reading a cute little book. It turns an ordinary cup of tea into a small treat, and that face is hard to be grumpy at before seven in the morning.
This listing is for one cup in the “watering plants” design. It arrives empty and ready for whatever you pour into it first.
A Cute Cat Cup That Earns Its Place on the Shelf
Most novelty cups are funny once and then end up at the back of the cupboard. This one is hand-drawn in simple black line work rather than printed in a photo-real style. The cat reads clearly from across the kitchen and still looks tidy next to plain porcelain.
The soft glaze and clean, handle-free tumbler shape keep the look calm and grown-up. It suits a desk, a bedside table or a café-style kitchen shelf.
Size, Weight and What It Holds
The cute cat cup holds 225 ml to a comfortable fill. In practical terms, that is a standard flat white, a strong builders’ tea with room for milk, a hot chocolate with a marshmallow or two, or a generous pour of genmaicha. It is not a soup bowl or an espresso cup. It sits in the everyday middle, which is where most people actually drink from.
- Capacity: 225 ml
- Dimensions: 8.5 cm wide × 8.5 cm deep × 9.5 cm tall
- Weight: about 150 g empty
- Material: porcelain with a glossy glaze
- Finish: smooth inside and out, with the cartoon illustration fired under the glaze
- Care: microwave safe and dishwasher safe
The 150 g weight matters more than it sounds. It feels like real ceramic in the hand rather than a tin shell, yet a full cup is still easy to carry one-handed from the kettle to the desk.
Made for Daily Use, Not Just for Show
This cute cat cup is dishwasher safe and microwave safe, and that combination is the whole point. A cup that has to be hand-washed gets used twice and then quietly retired. This one goes through the same cycle as the rest of the washing-up.
The print is fired under the glaze rather than applied on top, so it won’t lift, fade or turn chalky after months of hot water and detergent.
Simple Care Tips
- Rinse out tea and coffee residue before the cup dries.
- Avoid scouring pads on the printed area.
- Skip sudden temperature shocks, such as pouring boiling water into a cup straight from the fridge.
The Cat’s Daily Routine Series
Cat’s Daily Routine is our ongoing series of cat illustrations: kittens watering plants, reading books, snacking or just relaxing.
Every design is drawn to the same shape and capacity, so any two sit together as a matching pair rather than a mismatched souvenir collection. If you already own one cute cat cup from the range, this is the obvious next one. If you are just starting, it is a great first.
A Cute Cat Cup Makes an Easy Cat Lover Gift
A cup is one of the few gifts that works for almost any occasion. As a cat lover gift, this cute cat cup is unusually safe. It suits a birthday, a housewarming, a Secret Santa with a sensible budget, a thank-you for a cat-sitter, or a small something for the colleague with a cat calendar on their desk. The humour is gentle rather than slogan-based, so it doesn’t wear thin.
It is also easy to post. We pack ceramics in bubble wrap and a carton box, and the cup survives the trip to regional Australia as well as the city. Sending it straight to the recipient? Add a note at checkout and we will leave the invoice out of the parcel.
Cute Cat Cup FAQs
What exactly do I receive?
One 225 ml cute cat cup in the “watering plants” design, packed in a box. Nothing else is included.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
Yes, on a normal cycle. The print sits under the glaze and is not affected by dishwasher detergent.
Can I microwave it?
Yes. The cute cat cup has no metallic trim and no handle insert, so you can reheat a drink in it as normal.
Will 225 ml hold a standard flat white?
Yes, with room to spare. It is also a good size for a large tea, a hot chocolate or a 200 ml pour-over.
