Cat Watching Fish in a Pond Coloring Page

About this page

From the top of the frame, a cat leans over the stone rim of a round pond, front paws planted on the edge and eyes fixed on the water. Its back arches and the tail loops high on the right. Inside the ring of rocks, two patterned fish swim in opposite directions between three lily pads, and ripple lines spread across the surface. At the left, tall iris-like leaves and two flower buds grow beside the stones, with grass tufts and a few pebbles dotted around the edge. The ring of rocks forms a clear oval frame, and every stone is a small shape to color. The calm water and the cat's curious stare make it a good medium page for teens who enjoy nature scenes.
