Tabby Cat Stretched Out on a Patterned Rug
Coloring guide
A chubby striped tabby lies on a patterned rug, front paws stretched toward you, with big round eyes and a little smile. Scattered around it are a toy mouse, a ball of yarn with a loose strand, a feather toy, and a ball decorated with stars. The living room behind has a sofa, a flowered cushion, a fringed blanket, a bookshelf, and a leafy plant in a decorated pot. There's also a sunny window with rays of light, a side table holding a lamp and a small plant, and a basket of yarn. The rug's flowers and zigzags offer lots of small spots to color. Orange and brown stripes suit the cat, and bright colors would make the rug stand out. It's a free PDF and needs no sign-up. Fans of Cats coloring pages often like Farm Animals and Tiger as well.
