Cat Playing With a Soccer Ball Coloring Page

A cat sits in the grass with one front paw resting on the ball, deciding whether this thing is worth the effort. Anyone who has owned a cat recognizes the pose. The animal is drawn in profile with pointed ears, a long curved tail and three whiskers on each side, and its body is one unbroken outline with no fur marks anywhere. That makes it ideal for a flat single color, though tabby stripes or patches added by hand turn it into somebody's own cat in about a minute. The ball is large and sits right under the paw with its panels drawn clearly. Keep the ball strong and the cat soft, or the two compete and the picture flattens out. Grass runs along the base in short open tufts and wants the lightest touch on the page. There is a lot of white paper above the cat, so there is room to add a fence, a window or a second animal. Of all the animal sheets in this hub this is the quietest, and it suits a child who likes calm pictures. Ages four and up.
