Easy coloring page of a smiling striped cat drinking milk from a saucer by a window and flowerpot.

Striped Cat Lapping From a Saucer

A cheerful striped cat bends to lap from a round saucer, with spilled drops, leafy windows, and a tiny flowerpot behind it.

Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Cat collection, made for ages 5–7 and drawn in a Bold & Easy style.

🎨 How to color it

Color the cat golden orange with cream patches, the saucer pale blue, the spilled drops light gray, and the little window flower sunny yellow. Use chunky crayons or markers for the big cat body and saucer, and do not worry if the color bumps over the bold lines. Try making the milk ripples a soft blue swirl so the cat’s tongue looks like it found something chilly and secret.

Under the leafy window, Nico padded to his saucer for the quietest sip in the room. He wanted to hear the tiny sound milk made before breakfast clattered in. Lick—nothing. Lick—almost nothing. Then a silver moon-moth fluttered down with wings like paper in the dark.

“Listen closer,” whispered the moth. Nico dipped just the tip of his tongue. Plip! A ring ran across the milk. The moth touched it, and another ring followed, round and round, like a secret door opening. Ever since, saucers make ripples when cats drink, because Nico woke the rings inside them. Next time you see the saucer, can you find the secret circles he started?
