Cat on a Porch Step Coloring Page

About this page

A relaxed cat lounges on a wide, low step, front paws tucked and head tilted a little to one side, with its fluffy tail dropping over the front-right corner. Two potted plants flank it, one at each side, both with big heart-shaped leaves that have a center vein and curved side veins. The pot on the left sits higher on the step, while the pot on the right is partly hidden behind the cat's back. The step is a plain rectangular block with a flat front, so the whole page is clear and uncluttered. With a smiling face and wide eyes, the cat is the star. The leaves give a pleasant repeating shape to color. This medium page suits kids who like houseplants and pets.
