Black Cat and Pumpkin Coloring Page

About this page

A friendly kitten sits upright on the left with its tail curling up in a spiral behind it, and a round pumpkin rests on the right. The kitten tilts its head slightly, with large round eyes, a tiny nose, a smile, whiskers on both cheeks and pointed ears. Short fur tufts mark its chest and cheeks. The pumpkin has a thick curved stem and wide vertical ribs, and it is about the same height as the cat. Neither one has a background, so the two stand side by side with open paper around them. The cat body and pumpkin ribs are large, simple areas, which makes the page easy to color for kids who like pets and Halloween. It also leaves room to add a few drawn stars or leaves around them if a child wants a scene.
