I absolutely am a bit cat mad ( I have two fur babies of my own). So anything to do with felines gets me excited!
Black cats are just as much a part of the Halloween season as pumpkins, costumes, and trick-or-treating. Also, check out this great article if you have a ginger kitten, and are looking for female orange cat names for your new baby!

Watercolor Brush Pen Cats
I have used watercolor brush pens to create a tied-died bat effect using one of the cat templates above.
This is a fun and easy brush pen project that is great for both children and adults!
Watercolor brush pens are awesome for creating a watercolor effect for art and craft projects.
To help you out, I have put together these printable templates so that all you have to do is transfer the shape onto your watercolor paper and get on with the painting!
If you would like to try this out, you should transfer the cat template to watercolor paper. This is how…
How to Transfer the Cat Outline to Watercolor Paper
- Print out your cat template on standard printer paper or color paper.
- Tape your printed template to a window with light behind it so that you can see the outline of the bat coming through.
- Using a soft lead pencil (2B, 4B, 6B, or 8B), trace over the printed outline of the bat that you can see through the paper. Do this quite firmly so that you have left enough lead on the surface to be transferred easily onto the watercolor paper.
- Place your printed bat template with the traced pencil outline face-down on your watercolor paper.
- Using your pencil once again, trace the printed bat outline so that the pencil line gets transferred to your watercolor paper.
- Voila! You have your transferred shape, and you don’t need to hand- draw it yourself!
- Now you can use your watercolor or watercolor brush pens and start your painting!
Other Ways to Use your Bat Template Printables
Halloween Décor or just plain spooky décor.
Print out the cat templates and stick them onto your front door, postbox, windows, or walls using Blu tack or masking tape.
Use the bat template for pumpkin carving.
Print out the cat template and trace it onto a pumpkin. Cut your shape from the pumpkin with a sharp knife, then use an ice cream scoop to remove all of the seeds inside before you carve!
Art Journaling.
Use your cat templates to document a spooky story as part of the background for an art journal page or even just to doodle on.

Coloring in.
You can use these cat templates to do coloring-in activities, either for yourself or with kids!
If you want them to be something other than black and white, print the template on colored paper.

These cats make the perfect images for you to make your own Halloween kitty stickers – print the cat template on sticker paper and cutting out the cat shapes.
You can then use these stickers for anything you like!
