Step-by-step: how to draw a cat

  1. 1

    Draw a circle head

    Start with a round circle for the cat's head.

  2. 2

    Add triangle ears

    On top, draw two pointy triangles — these are the ears.

  3. 3

    Face details

    Two oval eyes, a tiny triangle nose, and a 'w' shape for the mouth and whiskers.

  4. 4

    Body and tail

    Add a small rounded body under the head and a curvy tail looping behind.

  5. 5

    Color and pattern

    Color your cat orange, gray, or black. Add stripes or spots to make it your own.

Pro tips for parents & kids

  • Give your cat a name and write it under the drawing.
  • Try drawing the cat sleeping by closing the eyes (just curves).
  • Make a family of cats in different colors.
