Common questions about this coloring page
Cats come in many colors! Brown, black, white, red (often known as 'ginger'), or grey are very typical. Encourage your child to use these colors, perhaps even different shades of brown for realistic fur.
Point to the whiskers and explain that cats use them to feel. For the eyes, you can say that cats see with them and sometimes have green, blue, or yellow eyes. This encourages observation skills and understanding of animals.
For a 'realistic' coloring page, you can first suggest typical cat colors. However, if your child absolutely wants a purple cat, that's fine too! Explain the difference between a 'real' cat and a 'fantasy' cat.
Start with the larger areas. For smaller details, you can use thicker crayons for the outlines and then let your child fill in the spaces. Or offer to color the trickiest parts together to prevent frustration.
