Sitting Cat Coloring Page

Cat coloring page2 levels

Most of this cat coloring page is face: a wide round head with two pointed ears, round eyes with dark pupils, a triangle nose and a small smile. The cat sits upright and looks straight at you, with a pear-shaped body ending in two rounded paws and the tail curled up on the right.

For ages 3 to 5, the easy version keeps thick outlines and leaves out the whiskers and the inner ear shapes, so each ear is one plain shape and the cat has 9 regions. The standard version for ages 6 to 8 adds both in finer lines, with whiskers on each cheek and 11 regions in all. A simple colouring plan: one main fur color, pink for the inner ears, and white left around the pupils. The triangle nose already prints solid black. The empty space around the cat has room for a cushion, a rug or a window. Those thin whiskers print sharpest from the A4 or US Letter PDF at 100 percent.

Frequently asked questions

Which version should I print first?

For a child under six, the easy version with thick lines and no whiskers. For six and up, the standard version with whiskers and finer lines.

Why does the easy cat have no whiskers?

Whiskers are thin lines and the inner ears are small shapes, so the easy version leaves both out and keeps the cat to fewer, bigger parts. The standard version has them, for 11 regions.

What colors work for this cat?

Orange, gray, black or white with pink inner ears all read clearly. Stripes drawn across the body before coloring turn it into a tabby.
