How to Print and Download

  • Choose portrait orientation so the cat fills the page correctly.
  • Turn on fit to page if your printer preview trims the edges.
  • Print in black and white to save ink and keep the outlines crisp.
  • Use cardstock for crafts, classroom displays, bookmarks, gift tags or marker coloring.

Coloring Tips and Ideas

  • Give younger kids chunky crayons and invite them to color the biggest shapes first.
  • Use colored pencils for whiskers, stripes, cafe shelves and small bookshop details.
  • Try a simple cat palette: orange tabby stripes, gray paws, pink ears, green eyes or any pretend pet colors kids imagine.
  • For the kitten pages, ask children to add a name to the back of the sheet after coloring.
  • For detailed pages, color one area at a time, such as the cat first, then flowers, then background objects.

Fun Facts About Cats

  • House cats have ancient roots. UC Davis reports that cat domestication likely began in the Fertile Crescent about 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, when stored grain attracted rodents and cats became helpful neighbors. UC Davis
  • Cats have very sharp hearing. Cornell says cats can typically sense sounds at 60,000 vibrations per second or greater, much higher than the usual human range. Cornell Feline Health Center
  • Cats can see well in dim light because a special layer in the eye reflects light for a second chance to be used. Cornell notes this may make a cat's light sensitivity about six times greater than a human's. Cornell Feline Health Center
  • Scratching is normal cat behavior. The ASPCA explains that cats scratch during play and stretching, to mark territory, and to help remove worn outer claw layers. ASPCA
