45 Free Cat Coloring Pages to Print
A cat in a lab coat running an experiment, a pirate on a dock beside a treasure chest, a mother cat in a field with two kittens, and one asleep on a blanket next to a steaming mug. Half of them have a job and half of them have a nap planned. The costumed cats fill the page with props; the house cats are one animal and a basket, with nothing behind them.
Click any drawing to print it. The sheet opens in a new tab and the print dialog does the rest, with every paper size your printer offers. Prefer a batch? Tap + on each drawing you want, then print the whole pile in one go from your pile.

The printable cat coloring pages here are free in the plain sense. No account, no email address, no watermark across the whiskers. Every drawing is a 300 dpi PDF and prints on any paper size your printer takes, US Letter and A4 included, so the fur stays a line instead of a gray smear. Forty-five in all, and the cute cat coloring pages at the quiet end suit a small child better than the busy ones.
What you will find on this page
Forty-five cats, and most of them have taken up a profession. An astronaut floating among the planets. A detective in a hat examining footprints in a library. A pirate on a dock beside a treasure chest. A cowboy with a lasso in the desert. A chef juggling donuts, and another one kneading dough. There is a cat in a beret painting a portrait of itself, and one in goggles running an experiment.
The other half are cats being cats. Asleep in a hammock, asleep on a pillow, asleep on a tiled floor between three plant pots. Playing with yarn on a windowsill, watching a goldfish, reaching for a butterfly, sitting on a stack of books with a bird on its back.
This is the largest animal collection on the site.
Easy cat coloring pages for toddlers
The sleeping cats are the simplest sheets here. A curled body, two ears, a tail and a cushion, which is four shapes and a happy result. A cat is also one of the few animals a young child can color entirely wrong and still have it look right, since orange, gray, black and white are all correct.
Busier scenes for older children
The costume sheets have the most going on: the space background with its planets, the library with its shelves, the kitchen with its bowl of flour. These take twenty minutes rather than five and suit a child who wants a scene rather than an animal. If costumes are the appeal, the princess coloring pages and the witch coloring pages work the same way.
More animals
The dogs are next door on the dog coloring pages, and the capybara coloring pages have the same calm, seated quality as the sleeping cats here.
What to do with them once they are colored
Color the sleeping cat, cut it out and stand it on a shelf on a folded flap, and it looks like the cat is asleep in the room. Small trick, oddly effective.
The professions make a good set: color the astronaut, the pirate, the detective and the chef, pin them in a row, and a child will invent a story that connects them before you have finished tidying up.
Printing your cat coloring pages
Are these cat coloring pages free?
Yes. Open the PDF, print it, color it. Nothing to sign up for, nothing stamped over the drawing, no limit on how many you take.
Which cat should a four-year-old start with?
The cat in a basket, the one asleep on a pillow, and the one watering a plant. Each is built from a few large shapes with nothing behind it. The laboratory, the library and the pirate dock are packed with props and reward a longer sitting.
Is the fur drawn in detail?
No, and that is deliberate. The coat is a clean outline with a few marks for the face and the tail. Fine fur strokes look impressive on screen and print as gray mush, and they leave a child nowhere to put a crayon.
Are there kittens here?
Two, playing in a field beside their mother. The rest are adult cats, drawn round enough that most children read them as kittens anyway.
What paper size should I print on?
Any size the printer accepts. Open More settings in the print dialog to choose it, US Letter at 8.5 by 11 inches and A4 at 210 by 297 millimeters included. The cat is rendered at 300 dpi for whatever you pick.
Can I hand these out at school?
Yes. A reading corner, a rainy afternoon, a substitute teacher with a class to keep busy. Print as many copies as the room needs. Selling the files is the only thing we ask you not to do.
