Cat Pouncing on a Ball of Yarn
Coloring guide
A wide-eyed tabby kitten crouches in mid-pounce, one paw pressed down on a big ball of yarn and a happy grin on its face. Its tail curls high behind it. Stripes on the tail, back, legs and forehead add plenty of detail to color. Little motion lines sit beside the yarn ball, and a loose strand trails across the floor toward a curved rug in the corner. Behind the kitten there's a small side table on the left, a potted leafy plant on the right, and simple floorboard lines. Brown stripes on an orange and cream kitten look great, and a bright red or purple yarn ball will really pop. Download it as a free PDF for a screen-free activity at home.
