Sleepy Cat Curled Into a Ball
Coloring guide
This sleepy kitten has curled into a cozy circle, head resting on two little front paws, eyes shut and a peaceful smile on its face. It's a tabby-style cat with stripes on the forehead, pointed ears, long whiskers on each side and a big striped tail wrapped around its body. Paw pads and toes are drawn with simple lines, so small hands can color them without much trouble. No background here, which keeps all the attention on the kitten and leaves plenty of white space. Orange or soft gray for the body works well, with darker brown stripes and a pink nose and inner ears. Print or download this free page whenever you need a new sheet. Looking for more?
