Why Telegram is great for a cat pack
Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram lets anyone publish a sticker pack directly inside the app through its official bot, @Stickers. Once published, the pack gets its own link (t.me/addstickers/yourname). Send that link to friends and they add your cat with one tap – on phone, tablet and desktop. Cats, with their huge range of unimpressed faces, are basically made for this.
Telegram's rules for static stickers
| Rule | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Format | PNG or WEBP with a transparent layer |
| Dimensions | Fits in 512 × 512, with at least one side exactly 512 px |
| File size | Maximum 512 KB |
| Style | Telegram recommends a white outline and a soft shadow so stickers read on dark and light chats |
| Animated | Telegram does not accept animated WebP; animated stickers must be .TGS, video stickers .WEBM (VP9) |
PetMagi's stickers_png.zip follows these rules: 512 px transparent PNGs with a white die-cut outline. The four animated WebP stickers in the 32 pack are made for WhatsApp; for Telegram use the static PNGs.
Step by step with the @Stickers bot
- Make the pack on PetMagi pet stickers and download stickers_png.zip. Unzip it on the device where you use Telegram (desktop is fastest).
- In Telegram, search for @Stickers (the official bot, with the verified tick) and tap Start.
- Send
/newpack. The bot asks for a name – this is the title people see, e.g. "Mochi the Cat". - Send the first PNG as a file, not as a photo. On mobile choose File in the attach menu; sending it as a photo compresses it and the bot rejects it.
- Reply with one emoji that matches the sticker (😂 for LOL, 😴 for good night). Emoji are how Telegram suggests your stickers while you type.
- Repeat for every sticker, then send
/publish. You can pick an icon or send/skipto use the first sticker. - Choose a short name for the link. Done – your pack lives at t.me/addstickers/<short name>.
Later you can add more stickers with /addsticker, reorder or delete them through the same bot. The pack belongs to your Telegram account.
Getting a cat photo that works
- Catch the cat awake and facing roughly towards you – cats in profile lose their expression.
- Pick sharp fur over perfect composition; the background is removed anyway.
- Black cats need light: shoot near a window so eyes and whiskers show.
- One cat per photo. For two cats, make two packs; mixed packs confuse the drawing.
Which captions cats deserve
The standard set covers hi, love you, LOL, no, sad, grrr, good night, hungry, OMG, thank you, party, cool, sorry, OK, bye and miss you – available in English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese. In practice cat owners use "no", "hungry" and "sorry (not sorry)" the most, so put those first when you upload to the bot; the first stickers show first in the panel.
Troubleshooting
- "Sorry, the image dimensions are invalid" – neither side is 512 px. Use the original files, not a screenshot.
- The bot ignores your image – you sent it as a photo. Send it as a file.
- "This short name is already taken" – add your cat's name and a number, e.g. mochi_cat_2026.
