Easy Cat Coloring Pages
10 printable sheets · Ages 3–11 · Easy to medium detail
Cats are the most popular pet in most of the world, and one of the most satisfying animals to colour. Their outlines are smooth and rounded, their markings — stripes, patches, points and plain coats — invite pattern-making, and nearly every child has a cat they know and can try to match.
This collection runs from a very simple waving kitten for preschoolers up to busier scenes with yarn, fishbowls and butterflies for children who want more to fill in. The final sheet is a Learn & Color body diagram with blank label lines, so a child can colour the cat and then label its ears, whiskers, paws and tail themselves.
Every sheet is drawn as pure black line art on white, so it prints cleanly on a home inkjet or a school laser printer. Click any picture to open a print-ready PDF, or open the whole set as one file.

Learn About Cats
What a cat's tail is telling you
Cats talk with their bodies more than their voices. A tail held high usually means a friendly, confident cat. A tail whipping side to side means the cat is bothered. A puffed-up tail means the cat is frightened and trying to look bigger. Watching a cat's tail is a good first lesson in reading animal body language.
Why cats purr and knead
Kittens knead their mother's belly to help the milk flow, and many cats keep the habit for life — a kneading adult cat is usually a relaxed, happy one. Purring happens when cats are content, but also sometimes when they are hurt or nervous; scientists think it may be self-soothing.
Try this while you colour
Ask your child to invent a cat breed of their own for one of these pages: pick a coat pattern, a tail shape and a name. Older children can label the diagram sheet and add one fact they already know next to each body part.
