10 Cat Color by Number Pages (Free Printables)

By Zen Vibes Editors · Published · Updated

If your kid always spots the cat first, this is the set to put on the table. The early pages keep things simple, with a tabby sitting at the window, a fluffy Persian batting yarn, and a Siamese curled up for a tea-time nap. They have big spaces and a gentle pace, so a little one with a short attention span can settle in and finish.

As the set moves along, the scenes get a little busier without losing that calm cat feel. A calico pads through the garden, a tuxedo cat perches by a bookshelf, and a Bengal stretches out in balcony sun. Older kids usually like having more to look at, while still getting the help of the number key at the bottom. Our favorite is the sphynx in its cozy sweater, which looks both serious and slightly offended.

This one feels softer and homier than dinosaurs, and quieter than butterfly or turkey pages. It suits cat-loving kids, classroom free time, or a grown-up who wants something easy to color without a lot of fuss.

How to print these pages

  1. Pick the paper size that matches what is in your printer: US Letter or A4.
  2. Open the PDF and choose Print. Set scale to 100 percent or “actual size” (not “fit to page”).
  3. Plain copy paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier cardstock for markers or paint.

Print at actual size on plain paper. Crayons work well on the simpler cats, while pencils can help on the smaller numbered spaces.

Best picks for little hands

The first few cats are the easiest place to start if you have a preschooler nearby. The window tabby, yarn-playing Persian, tea-napping Siamese, and porch Maine Coon all keep the shapes clear, so kids can focus on matching numbers to colors without getting lost.

Why cat fans keep coming back to this set

These pages are full of the little scenes cat people notice right away, window watching, stealing the warm spot near the books, stretching out in a patch of sun. That makes them nice for quiet time, because the pictures already feel familiar before the coloring even starts.

A good classroom or rainy day choice

Cat pages work well when you need something calm. Kids can compare which cat looks most like one at home, and the number key gives enough structure that even hesitant colorers can get going without much help.

Ideas for using these pages

  • Have kids circle the cat that looks most like one they know, then give it a name before they start coloring.
  • Use the finished pages to make a pretend cat lounge on the wall, with sleepy cats near the reading corner and playful cats near the toy shelf.
  • After coloring, ask kids to sort the cats by where they are resting, by the window, in the garden, by the books, or out on the porch.

Questions about this set

Which pages are best for a toddler or preschooler?
Start with the tabby at the window, the Persian with yarn, the Siamese nap, or the Maine Coon on the porch. Those pages have larger spaces and are easier for small hands to finish.
Are these cat pages only for young kids?
No. The later pages, like the garden, bookshelf, piano bench, and balcony scenes, give older kids a bit more to do while still keeping the color by number format easy to follow.
Do I need markers for these?
No, regular crayons or colored pencils are enough. Pencils are handy if your child likes to stay neatly inside the smaller numbered areas.
