Sitting Cat Coloring Page

About this page

Facing straight toward you, a cat sits upright with its front legs side by side and its paws lined up at the bottom. Large round eyes with small sparkle marks, a tiny nose and a smile give it a friendly face, and thin whiskers fan out on both cheeks. The ears are pointed, each with a few short fur lines inside. Its tail comes around from the right and curls across the lower edge. A faint ground line stretches beneath the paws, and there is nothing else on the page. Outlines are bold and the body is one big open shape, so there are no tiny spaces to squeeze into. A simple, symmetrical pose like this is a comfortable first cat picture for kids learning to stay inside the lines.
