Thank you!

BEGINNING
Start with the body by drawing a rectangle. Below that rectangle, draw a guideline for the top of the fence. The neck is a large triangle. Start the head with a medium circle halfway over the neck triangle the muzzle or nose is a smaller circle at the bottom of the head circle.

The hind leg is like a half-circle, and two lines going down, they are closer at the paw than at the knee. The other hind leg is almost the same. The front legs are straight lines but narrower at the paw. Make sure the paws meet the top of the fence.

DETAILS
The ears are triangles on top of the head, and they point forward.  Erase the extra lines

The tail is up but not perfectly straight so give it a curve. The shoulder and hip are slightly arched.

COLORING
Don't color him black too grey, so then you can add black for the darker shadow. I didn't draw the whiskers since he is so small in my drawing; if you draw on a large paper you have more opportunity to add detail.

Finish the fence and add the background. You don't have to put him on a fence; you can just as easily draw him walking on a tree branch or top of a car or the kitchen counter.

Have fun.

I did this drawing with markers. Some of the markers were fine-tipped, and some were broad. I use some markers that are light grey, medium grey, and dark grey. When you use a variety of pens it makes a more interesting picture. I kept the background simple, so the cat is the focus. I was thrilled with the fence since I shaded around it so the fence will look white.
