Startled Sylvester Cat Grabbing His Spiky Tail

A frightened cat leans back in mid-scramble with his mouth stretched wide open and his tongue sticking out. He looks a lot like Sylvester from Looney Tunes, with a big round nose, pointed ear, long whiskers and small dots on his muzzle. One hand grips the base of his tail, which sticks up in lots of jagged, bristly spikes. His other paw is splayed open to the side, and one foot is kicked toward the viewer so the toe pads show. Large open areas on the body and tail make this an easy page for crayons. Try drawing short, quick marker strokes along the spiky tail to show how puffed up it is, then color the body in a flat, solid shade. It's free to print and works well for kids who like silly, expressive faces.
