A cat in mid air with all four paws off the ground, stretched out over a line of floor. It is the only page here with any movement in it, and that is the whole reason to print it: a child who finds sitting animals boring will take this one. Leave the space under it pale and the jump reads properly. For two cats sitting perfectly still, see two cats, or the cat with its bowl.
A cat in mid leap, all four paws off the ground.
