Fishing Cat on a Wooden Dock by the Lily Pond
Coloring guide
A grinning tabby cat perches at the edge of a wooden dock and holds a fishing rod, with the line dropping into the pond and a round bobber floating on top. A wooden bucket sits beside the cat, and thick posts support the dock. Three fish swim under the surface and a little duck paddles close by. The pond is full of water lilies, lily pads and tall cattails, and a leafy tree hangs over the left side. On the far shore there's a small cabin with a fenced yard among bushes and trees, under one puffy cloud. Between the cat's stripes and all those lily pads, kids get plenty of tiny spaces to fill in. Orange and brown stripes for the cat go well with pink water lilies on blue-green water. Print it at home for class time or a rainy afternoon.
