High up where everything smells like hay, the barn cat has found her favorite spot. This cat coloring page takes you up into the hayloft of an old wooden barn. Print the free page and color this cozy scene.
Why Kids Love This Hayloft Cat
The cat sits up tall on a hay bale with a few spots on her fur, gazing happily upward. All around, you can see the whole barn: slanted rafters, plank walls, stacked hay bales, a pitchfork, a wooden ladder, hanging ropes, a sack and a little window. Up in the beams, a tiny bird is hiding too. The floorboards run diagonally, giving the scene great depth.

Fun Facts About Barn Cats
On a farm, the barn cat has an important job: keeping mice away from the barn and the animal feed. Cats are most active at dawn and dusk, since they see much better than people in dim light. Their whiskers help them feel whether theyβll fit through a gap β even in the dark. And if a cat falls, it twists in midair and usually lands on its paws. No wonder a high hayloft is a favorite hangout.
What to Do with Your Finished Barn Cat
Glue a few pieces of real hay onto the bales for a picture that almost smells like a barn. Or write a story: what is the cat thinking as she looks up at the little bird in the rafters?
