Sleeping Cat

Sleeping Cat is a classic animal motif. Animal coloring pages are among the most popular of all. Coloring them helps children discover the shapes and characteristics of familiar and exotic animals while mixing colors freely. Realistic or wild with pink manes and blue spots: anything goes.

For the sleeping cat, warm and soothing colors work beautifully—think cream white, soft gray, or gentle brown for the fur. Use soft, gentle strokes while coloring and keep several pens in similar shades nearby to create shadows, especially under the paws and around the head. The closed eyes can be gently suggested with dark gray or black. The tail is perfect for experimenting with different gray tones to add depth and dimension. A soft pink for the nose tip and inside of the ears completes the cozy atmosphere.
