Cat on Toilet Reading Newspaper Paint by Numbers Kit
A tabby cat sits on the toilet with a newspaper open between its front paws. Blue tiles cover the wall behind it, a towel hangs on the right and metal taps sit in the left corner. The floor tiles are grey and beige, and the fur blends white, brown and beige against the blue background. The portrait format keeps the cat in the centre of the canvas. The wall and floor are large areas, while the face and the newspaper have tighter sections, which is why we rate the kit intermediate. The linen canvas arrives with outlines and numbers printed, and the acrylic paints are numbered and ready to use. The humorous subject belongs in a WC or bathroom, and it sits in our funny paint by numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the blue wall tiles and the floor. They are the largest areas and fill quickly, so you see the bathroom take shape in the first sessions. Leave the cat's face and the newspaper for the end, where the lines are shorter and need a steadier hand. On the fur, follow the direction of the hair as you move between white, beige and brown. The metal taps are painted in grey with a few light highlights. For a first attempt, 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm keeps the newspaper readable without multiplying small sections. If you like felines, our cat paint by numbers range has more to choose from.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this cat on the toilet?
30x40 cm suits a small wall or a WC. 40x50 cm is the most common choice: the newspaper and the cat's face keep sections wide enough to paint comfortably. Above that, the blue tiles cover a larger share of the canvas.
Are the newspaper and fur details difficult?
The kit is rated intermediate. The newspaper and the face have the smallest areas, with short lines that the fine brush handles. Wall and floor fill in large blocks. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size and colour option you choose.
Who would enjoy this cat on the toilet kit?
Cat owners, anyone decorating a bathroom or WC, and people who like a humorous design to hang. The kit holds the linen canvas, numbered acrylic pots and three brushes (fine, medium, wide), so you need nothing else to start. An easel is sold separately.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
You get 24, 36 or 48 numbered pots depending on the option, three brushes and the printed canvas. The paper guide lets you check the number of each area, including the taps and the towel, before you load the brush.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Fill the blue wall tiles and the floor first, as they are the largest areas. Then work the fur between white, beige and brown, following the hair. Paint the taps in grey with a few light highlights. Finish with the cat's face and the newspaper.
