Cat Watching a Butterfly Coloring Page

About this page

Sitting up with its face tilted to the sky, a cat stretches one front paw upward to reach a butterfly at the top right. The raised paw ends in a round, toed shape, and the butterfly has two wing pairs with oval spots, a slim body and two antennae. The cat's tail sweeps out to the left in a tall S shape, while the other front leg and two back feet rest at the bottom. A smile and bright eyes give the face a curious feel. The page holds only these two characters, so there is plenty of empty space around them. Rounded wings can be colored in any way you like. It is an easy, joyful picture for kids who enjoy insects, and the story is easy to read at once.
