A kitten sitting properly, bow between the ears, front paws neatly together. This is the easy cat drawing for a child who wants a cat and not a project: round shapes everywhere, nothing fiddly, and a bow that can take any color without clashing. Good on a card, good on a fridge, and the whiskers are thin enough that pencils beat markers there. The jumping cat is the same animal refusing to sit still.
