I love cats, and I know you do too, which is exactly why our collection of cat coloring pages is one of our absolute favorites.

A Variety of Cat Coloring Pages for Every Skill Level

Not all cat coloring pages are created equal! We understand that our visitors range from preschoolers holding a chunky crayon for the first time, to experienced adults looking for therapeutic, intricate mandala designs. That is why our extensive gallery of cat coloring pages includes a huge variety of artistic styles.

For the little ones, we offer adorable, wide-eyed kawaii cat coloring pages. The kawaii art style (a Japanese term meaning "cute") features chubby cheeks, oversized eyes, and simple shapes that are incredibly easy for young children to color inside the lines. You will find cute kittens playing with balls of yarn, happy cats wearing tiny crowns, and even magical "caticorns" (a hilarious and majestic mix of a cat and a unicorn!).

For older kids, teenagers, and adults, we have a specialized section of realistic cat coloring pages and highly detailed feline mandalas. These advanced cat coloring pages feature intricate patterns of fur, beautiful floral backgrounds, and complex geometric shapes that require focus, sharp colored pencils, and a lot of patience. Coloring these detailed cat coloring pages is known to reduce stress and anxiety, acting as a wonderful form of art therapy.

Crazy Cat Facts to Share While You Color

If you are printing these cat coloring pages for an educational setting or a fun activity with your kids, why not share some mind-blowing trivia while you color? Here are some crazy facts about cats that will definitely blow your mind:

• The First Astronaut Cat: Did you know there was a genuine "Astrocat"? In 1963, a brave feline named Félicette became the first and only cat to travel to space. She was launched into the stars and safely returned to Earth, making history forever!
• Mayor Cat: Cats don't just sleep all day; some of them hold high political office! A small town in Alaska called Talkeetna actually elected a ginger cat named Stubbs as their honorary mayor. Mayor Stubbs served the town faithfully for 20 years, proving that cats really do rule the world.
• Tiny Tigers: Those cuddly, purring balls of fur sleeping on your sofa are hiding a wild secret. Our domesticated house cats actually share over 95% of their genetic DNA makeup with wild tigers. If you watch a house cat stalk a toy mouse, their hunting techniques are almost identical to a tiger hunting in the jungle.
• Unique Nose Prints: Just like human beings have unique fingerprints used for identification, every single cat has a completely unique "nose print." The microscopic ridges and bumps on a cat's nose are entirely unique to them.

Creative Ways to Use Your Cat Coloring Pages

Once you've printed off a stack of our free cat coloring pages, the fun is just beginning. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and mix up your coloring mediums! For our cute kitten coloring pages, try using bright, vibrant markers for a bold pop-art look. If you are working on our realistic cat coloring pages, using a set of high-quality blending colored pencils will allow you to create beautiful, lifelike fur textures and deep, mesmerizing cat eyes.

Many of our users even use watercolor paints on their cat coloring pages. If you decide to go this route, just remember to print the PDF on a thicker sheet of paper, like 65lb cardstock, so the water doesn't warp the page or bleed through to your table. Once your cat coloring page is finished, you can cut it out to create custom greeting cards, decorate your bedroom walls, or use it as a beautiful cover for a school binder.
