Christmas Cat Coloring Pages: 9 Free Printables + Your Cat as Art

Cats approach Christmas the way a building inspector approaches a new tower. The tree must be climbed. The ornaments must be tested for gravity. The present is irrelevant; the box it came in is the gift. If it fits, they sit, and in December everything fits.

Below are 9 free Christmas cat coloring pages we drew in ColorPaw's house style: bold outlines, closed regions, pure black and white, sized for letter or A4. Three kittens, three scenes of holiday mischief, and three intricate pages for the adults. After the gallery: how to get a Christmas page of your cat, the photo tricks that work in tree-light season, and what to do about the tree situation. (Our main Christmas coloring pages post has 15 more designs, from a snowman with a puppy sidekick to a winter village.)

Every "Free PNG" button downloads the high-resolution file, no email gate, no watermark. Or grab all 9 in one PDF pack and print the lot.

Christmas kitten coloring pages

First-Christmas kittens at their most chaotic and their most asleep: an ornament swat in progress, a kitten who decided to be the bow on top, and a mitten nap in full loaf formation. Bigger regions and friendly faces, good for younger colorers. For the year-round set, our cat coloring pages post carries the non-seasonal designs.

Christmas cat mischief

The scenes every cat household knows by heart: the cat who moved into the middle of the tree, the cat sitting in the box while the actual present sits ignored, and the window seat for watching snow and judging squirrels. The tree defense here is more Home Alone than holiday card.

Christmas cat coloring pages for adults

Fine lines and pattern density for long evenings: a poinsettia wreath portrait, a cat in front of a giant snowflake mandala, and a long-haired cat holding court on a stack of patterned presents. Cocoa, The Polar Express on the TV, and a cat on your lap who may or may not allow you to reach the pencils.

The 9 pages above are ours. This part is where the page becomes yours. Upload one photo of your cat to ColorPaw and about 10 seconds later you have a printable coloring page with your actual cat on it: the ear notch, the whisker fan, the tongue-out blep you caught by accident on Christmas Eve.

Your first page is free, no credit card, no signup gauntlet. If every cat in the family needs a page, the 5-Pack is $7.97.

• Turn the room lights on. Tree lights look cozy and photograph murky. Window light during the day beats them every time.
• Face the camera. Straight-on or three-quarter angles read best. The stare from under the tree skirt counts.
• Fill the frame. Your cat should be the obvious subject, not a pair of eyes somewhere in the branches.
• Use what they tolerate. Most cats veto hats. A ribbon collar, a wreath behind them, or the gift box they claimed all read as Christmas without a negotiation.
• Skip the twinkle filter. Bokeh and glow effects erase the edges we trace. Clean photo in, clean page out.

From your cat's point of view, a brand-new indoor climbing tower just appeared, and someone hung toys on every branch. Of course they climbed it. A few changes keep the tree standing and the cat safe:

• Anchor the tree to the wall or use a wide, heavy base so a mid-climb wobble does not become a full topple.
• Hang shatterproof ornaments low and save the glass heirlooms for the top third.
• Skip tinsel and loose ribbon. Cats love to chew string, and swallowed tinsel can cause serious intestinal problems that need a vet.
• Keep lilies out of the house. They are highly toxic to cats, and they show up in a lot of holiday bouquets.

And when the climbing happens anyway, at least you will be ready with a camera. The Cat in the Tree page is drawn from exactly that moment, the one your family will retell every December like it is a holiday classic.

Yes, and it is one of the few gifts guaranteed to be about the recipient's favorite subject. Frame a printed page of their cat, roll a set into a stocking with fresh colored pencils, or send a ColorPaw gift pack (5 custom pages, $7.97) so they can upload their own photos. It delivers by email with a redeem code, so it works even on December 24. For the rest of the list, our gifts for cat lovers guide has 18 more ideas their cat will approve.

Yes, by design. The kitten section uses big regions and simple shapes for younger colorers, the mischief scenes add detail without crowding the page, and classroom use is welcome for all 9. And if the house has a cat, one custom page of that cat in the gift box turns the coloring table into the main event. Kids do not care about line weights. They care that it's Mittens.

Still in spooky mode? The Halloween cat coloring pages are up through October, black cats included.
