how to doodle a cat.

eight lines, and no circles or guidelines to start from. this cat has melted flat by the fire, which makes it the easiest cat there is.

A doodle of a cat melted flat into a puddle of fur, only its head and ears still holding shape, eyes shut in bliss, in black pen.
the cat who became a rug. it draws itself here the way you'd draw it.

step by step

  1. Step 1: one long, low outline with a round bump for the head on the right.

    one long, flat shape. start with a round bump on the right for the head, then let the body melt off to the left, low and lazy, and close it underneath.

  2. Step 2: two small pointed ears on top of the head.

    two ears. two small triangles on top of the bump. now it's a cat, whatever else happens.

  3. Step 3: a short curl of tail at the far left end.

    the tail. a short curl standing up at the far end. it's the only part still awake.

  4. Step 4: two small curved lines for shut eyes.

    shut eyes. two little curves, side by side. closed eyes say it's warm and it isn't moving.

  5. Step 5: two short whiskers off the side of the face, and the cat is done.

    whiskers. two short lines off the side of the face. done. that's a cat, and a rug.

the lucky cat who swapped arms. sit the cat up. one arm up, one arm drooping. the droopy one is the joke.
A doodle of a broom bolting off on its own with the witch's cat crouched on the stick, claws in, tail bolt upright, in black pen.
the cat who did not ask to drive. a cat on a stick, tail straight up. a straight tail means alarm.
A doodle of a crouched cat batting a little ringed planet into the air, the ring dangling loose like yarn, in black pen.
cat unravelling a planet. a crouched cat and a ringed planet. the loose ring is the yarn.

send your cat to someone

in wiggle together you draw it in black pen, fold it into a paper plane and throw it to a moon you share with one friend. they color it in, and every line keeps wiggling, like the cats on this page.
