Coloring pencils, gel pens, fine-liners, or markers all work well on this printable. You can keep the cat soft and balanced with one color family, or make the floral parts stand out from the swirls for a livelier result.

Tips for coloring this zentangle cat printable
- Start with the outer silhouette of the zentangle cat, then move into the inner swirl patterns so the side-profile shape stays clear.
- Use one palette for the floral motifs and another for the spirals to make the petal areas easier to distinguish.
- Leave a few circles or arc shapes lighter than the rest to use the open white space in a calm way.
- Fine-liners or gel pens work especially well for the smaller curves on the zentangle cat near the tail, ears, and paws.
- If you use markers, place a sheet under the printable page because the filled sections inside the cat can use more ink.
