Most cat coloring pages show a cat. These show a breed. A Persian and a Maine Coon are both big and long-haired, yet one has a flat face and a plume of a tail and the other has a lynx-tufted ear and a wild tabby ruff, and here each one is drawn so that you could pick it out at a cat show. One breed per sheet, in a setting that suits it, with the breed name under the cat in large outlined letters that can be colored too.

The collection begins with the most popular cat breeds in America and keeps growing: the big long-haired cats, the round-faced shorthairs, the slim pointed breeds, the curly, the spotted and the hairless. The style is realistic rather than cartoon. Fur is drawn in strands, tabby stripes and rosettes are outlined where a breed has them, and the faces have the real proportions of the breed, not a cartoon smile. That makes the sheets a good fit for adults and older kids, and still manageable for a younger child who has one particular cat in mind.

Not sure what color a breed is supposed to be? Many cat breeds come in dozens of coats, so the note under every picture names the colors the breed is actually bred in, says where the darker shading belongs and which eye color goes with it. Click any picture and its PDF opens in a new tab – US Letter size, and it fits A4 as well. To take everything at once, use the button below and download the whole collection as one PDF book.

Fun Things to Make with These Coloring Pages

Portrait of your own cat – find the breed closest to the cat on your couch and color the sheet in that cat's exact markings: the white chin, the one odd-colored toe, the notch in the ear. Write the cat's name above the breed name and the year on the back. If the cat is a mix, pick the breed it most resembles and nobody will argue.
Eyes first – color the eyes before anything else. A cat's eye color is part of the breed standard, so check the note under the picture: copper, gold, green, aqua or blue. Once the eyes are done the whole face has a mood, and it is easier to decide how dark the coat should go around them.
Pointed breeds, explained in pencil – several breeds are pale on the body and dark on the ears, face, legs and tail. The reason is temperature: the cooler parts of the cat grow darker fur. Color the points first, then blend outward into the body with the side of the pencil, and the gradient tells the story by itself.
Black cats that shine – a solid black coat is the hardest page to make look alive. Leave thin strips of white paper along the spine, the top of the head and the cheekbones before you start, then build the black around them. A white gel pen can add a final highlight to the eyes and the whiskers.
Breed cards for the shelf – print the PDF book with the printer set to several pages per sheet, color the small cats and glue each one to a square of card. Write the breed name on the back along with the coat colors from the note, and you have a deck for learning breeds or for a matching game.
Fur with three pencils – choose a light, a middle and a dark shade of the same color. The light one covers the whole coat, the middle one goes where the body turns away from the window, and the dark one stays under the chin, inside the ears and at the base of the tail. Long-haired breeds get the strokes pulled outward; shorthairs get them short and even.
Cat show at home – everyone colors a breed, looks up two facts about it and presents the cat to the judges. Ribbons cut from colored paper go to the best coat, the best eyes and the best background. It works for a birthday, a rainy afternoon or a cat club meeting.
Bookmarks – print at a reduced size, color the cat, trim the sheet into a tall strip with the cat in the middle and the breed name at the bottom, then laminate it or cover it with clear tape. A set of them makes a small gift for a cat person who reads.
Welcome sign for a new cat – color the breed of the cat that is about to arrive, trim the sheet and put it in a frame by the food bowls or on the door of the room where the cat will settle in. Add the new name with a paint pen once the family agrees on it.
Background as a second session – the rooms and gardens around these cats are drawn with as much detail as the cats themselves. Color the cat in one sitting and leave the setting for the next, in quieter, cooler tones, so the cat stays the brightest thing on the page.
