Cat in a Basket

Tucked snugly into a round woven basket, this chubby cat shows only its head, front paws, and the tip of a curled tail peeking over the rim. A small cushion underneath and a relaxed, sleepy smile make the whole scene feel warm and comfy. The woven basket is the star detail here, with rows of crisscross strands that are satisfying to color in different shades, while the cat's open face stays simple enough for younger artists. Cats love curling up in baskets and boxes because the snug walls make them feel safe and hold in their body heat, which is why a cozy nook beats a big open bed nearly every time. The contrast between the soft cat and the woven texture gives you a fun chance to mix smooth and patterned coloring. Print it on US Letter or A4 and make this hideaway as cozy as you like.
