What's In This Picture

You will find a charming tabby cat sitting snugly inside a detailed wicker basket. Right next to the basket sits a fluffy ball of yarn that looks like it was just being played with by a curious kitten. A beautiful flower grows nearby in the soft grass, adding a touch of nature to the foreground. Looking up, you can see a smiling sun peeking out from behind fluffy clouds in a wide-open sky. Every part of this drawing is designed to be fun to fill in, from the simple shapes of the sky to the more intricate patterns on the kitty and its cozy bed.

Coloring Tips

For the tabby cat, you might want to use light orange or grey with darker stripes to show off its classic pattern. The wicker basket looks great with shades of tan, brown, or even a light gold to show the woven texture. You can make the ball of yarn any bright color you like, such as vibrant pink or neon blue, to make it pop against the green grass. Using a soft yellow for the sun and light blue for the sky will help create a cheerful, sunny atmosphere. Try using a light touch for the clouds to keep them looking soft and airy against the bright background.

Did You Know?

Did you know that the M shape on a tabby cat forehead is one of their most famous features? These cats are known for their beautiful stripes, swirls, and spots. While they love to play, real cats should be supervised with yarn to keep them safe, but on this page, they can play as much as they want in a world of color.

Try This!

After you finish coloring the tabby cat, you can give your new friend a name and write it at the bottom. You could also draw a few more toys in the grass, like a small toy mouse or a bowl of water, to make the kitty even happier in its sunny spot.
