How To Draw A Cat Step by Step
1. Draw the simple body shape. Include two pointy ears at the top.

2. Next add four feet. Put two feet in front, and two on the side.

3. Now add some cute or crazy eyes, plus a black nose.

4. Put two little triangles inside the cat’s ears, and draw a mouth that’s connected to the nose.

5. Next draw three lines for whiskers on each side of the cat’s face.

6. The last step is adding a tail. You can make it long or short.
