Cat Coloring Pages
Make free printable cat coloring pages from 6 pictures we drew ourselves: a sitting cat, a kitten playing with a ball of yarn, a cat asleep in its bed, a big cat face, a cat in a window at night, and a cat peeking out of a box. Every picture is our own drawing, with no film, cartoon or toy characters, no mascots and no people, so the pages suit any home, party or classroom. The cats are not any particular breed, so color them as your own cat or invent one. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small pictures, a cats-at-home scene, a fold-in-half card, or a cat mandala with paw prints round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank cats to design prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain sitting-cat outlines per page, ready for a face, stripes or patches; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed. The lettering fonts keep their own open licenses.

| 4 | 89 mm square | 86 mm square |
| 6 | 77 mm square | 83 mm square |
Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each blank outline is a sitting-cat outline (7 shapes) with no face or pattern, so the design is up to you.

- Night window: a dark blue sky makes the moon and stars stand out.
