Mystery & Feelings International Cat Day Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

On International Cat Day, a little gray cat named Misty was very, very quiet. Usually, she would say "Meow!" for her breakfast. "Meow!" to go outside. "Meow!" when she wanted a pet. But today? Not a single meow.

Her human, Mia, was worried. "Misty, are you okay?" she whispered. Misty just blinked her big, green eyes. Mia gave her a dish of yummy fish. Misty ate it all up... silently.

Mia gave her a back scratch. Misty arched her back... silently. Mia watched her all day. Where did her meow go?

As the sun went down, Mia cuddled Misty on the sofa. She whispered, "I love you, Misty, even if you've lost your meow."

Unexpected Plot Twist: Just then, Misty looked right at Mia, opened her mouth, and let out a tiny, sweet, perfect sound that wasn't a meow at all. It was a happy little "Prrrrt?"—a special sound just for Mia, saved for the end of their special day.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The focus on clear, simple facial expressions is perfect for ages 3-5, who are learning to identify and name emotions. The large, contained shapes of the characters and the heart make it easy to color, while the sweet theme of love and communication is reassuring and developmentally appropriate.
