How to Draw a Cat

Hi there! Do you want to learn how to draw a cute cat? Let’s have some fun and make a purr-fect picture together!

What You Need

Before we start, let’s gather our drawing tools:

  • A piece of paper
  • A pencil or crayon
  • Some colorful crayons or markers

Let’s Start Drawing!

Follow these easy steps to draw your cat:

Step 1: Draw the Cat’s Head

First, draw a big circle in the middle of your paper. This will be the cat’s head. Make sure it’s nice and round!

Step 2: Add the Ears

Now, let’s give our cat some ears. Draw two triangles on top of the circle. One on the left and one on the right. These are the cat’s pointy ears!

Step 3: Draw the Face

Time to make a cute face! Draw two big circles inside the head for the eyes. Add a little dot inside each circle for the pupils. Then, draw a small triangle in the middle for the nose. Under the nose, draw a little smile for the mouth.

Step 4: Add the Body

Let’s give our cat a body. Draw a big oval shape under the head. This will be the cat’s body. Make it nice and round!

Step 5: Draw the Legs and Tail

Now, let’s add four legs. Draw two lines coming down from the body for the front legs and two more lines for the back legs. Don’t forget to add little paws at the end of each leg. Finally, draw a long, curvy line for the tail. Make it look fluffy!

Time to Color!

Now that we’ve drawn our cat, let’s make it colorful! Use your crayons or markers to color the cat any way you like. You can make it orange, gray, black, or even rainbow-colored!

Great Job!

Wow, look at your amazing cat drawing! You did a fantastic job. Keep practicing, and you’ll become an even better artist. Remember, drawing is all about having fun and using your imagination!

Thanks for drawing with me today. See you next time for more fun art adventures!

  • What do you like most about drawing animals, like cats? Can you think of other animals you would like to draw?
  • Have you ever seen a real cat? What did it look like, and how would you make your drawing look like that cat?
  • If you could give your drawn cat a name and a story, what would they be? What adventures might your cat go on?
  1. Cat Observation Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or visit a local park with your child. Encourage them to look for real cats. Ask them to observe the different colors, patterns, and shapes they see on the cats. Can they spot any similarities or differences with the cat they drew? Discuss how real cats move and behave. This will help them understand the diversity in cat appearances and behaviors.

  2. Shape Hunt Game: At home, play a game where your child finds objects that match the shapes used in their cat drawing. For example, look for circles (like the cat’s head), triangles (like the ears), and ovals (like the body). This activity reinforces their understanding of basic shapes and how they can be used to create drawings.

  3. Story Time with Cats: Encourage your child to create a short story about their drawn cat. Ask questions like: What is your cat’s name? What adventures does it go on? Who are its friends? This activity helps develop their creativity and storytelling skills, allowing them to connect their drawing to imaginative play.
