Choose the amount of background you want to color, then look at the cat’s pose. A simple outline and a detailed room offer different starts.

The raised tail, front paws and oval rug stand out against white space. Start with the cat’s broad body.

The heart balloon gives you one large color area above the kitten. The thin string can stay untouched.

The sleeping cat sits among pots, shelves and plants. Choose one object at a time rather than filling the room at once.

The pose is clear when the raised tail and front paws are easy to pick out. The white background can stay.
Try a cat face, the walking outline or the heart balloon for broad areas. Yarn baskets and mosaic sections add smaller shapes; attic rooms and the greenhouse have more detail. The three thank-you templates have separate spaces for a greeting, recipient and sender. The stretching cat and the cat resting on a window cushion offer two different poses to compare.
Choose colors for each member of a cat family and describe something they enjoy together. Add a thank-you message to a family template before printing it as a gift. Place the stretching-cat and window-rest pictures side by side and notice the paws, tail and body position. You can group whole sheets by the poses you see without cutting them out.
