A cat in the air, all four paws off the ground, stretched above a floor line. It suits a child who would rather draw a cat in action than a sitting one. Leave the space under the paws blank and the jump reads; color the floor line and the cat lands on something. It travels well as a car-trip cat drawing because there is little to fill. For two cats perfectly still, see two cats.
