Overworked Cat Metal Enamel Sticker

A visibly done-with-it cat, which is the joke and the whole appeal. It is one of the few designs here that gets a reaction on a work laptop, and it consistently outperforms the neater animal pieces.

Where this sticker works

• Laptop lids and hard laptop shells
• Hard and transparent phone cases
• Pet folders and hard file covers
• Journals, planners and storage boxes

Surfaces to avoid: Silicone phone cases, fabric, leather with a soft grain, uncoated kraft card, textured or rubberised surfaces, and anything soft-touch coated. The adhesive needs a smooth, clean, dry surface to key into.

Who it suits

Anyone decorating a work laptop or a desk setup, and cat owners buying for themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Is it recognisable at small size?
Yes. The expression is held in raised metal outlines rather than fine printed detail, which is what keeps it readable when scaled down.

How do I apply it so it actually stays on?
Clean the surface with an alcohol wipe and let it dry fully. Peel the backing, position the piece, then press firmly for about thirty seconds. Leave it a full day before exposing it to water.

Will it leave a mark if I take it off?
It is designed to stay where it is placed rather than to be moved. Removal can leave adhesive residue, and on painted or coated surfaces it may lift the finish, so place it deliberately the first time.
