This is adorable and the step by step instructions make it super easy to follow.

If you love cats and like the Japanese kawaii (cute) style of art, then you will likely love this quirky book. It will not teach you to make realistic portraits of your cats, but it will give you some tips on giving your doodles of cats and “cat things” a kawaii styling and that elusive essence of cat.
An assortment of cat breeds is included in different poses with hints on decorating and colouring in and how to portray different emotions. And then we move into the realms of fantasy: cats with dragon wings, ghost cats, angel cats, unicorn cats and feline star signs. And then a Maneki Neko (Japanese lucky cat).
So, what you may be wondering are cat things? Most cat lovers will have acquired some of these along the way: clothing including T-shirts, socks, mittens, hats, slippers and more; accessories including bags and rainy-day gear crockery including ornaments, cups and teapots; furniture including a chaise longue and various styles of chair; stationery including pens, pencils, stapler and notebooks; a few Christmas and Halloween decorations.
Then there is a large central section on cat food which incudes vegetables, fruits, breads, pasta, snacks and desserts all furnished with pointy ears, whiskers and a feline personality. Oh yes and eyes. This part creeps me out a little; I don’t really want my food looking back at me with a cute cat face. But your mileage may vary, I think I’m in the minority.
Throughout this sweet, imaginative book some pages are for colouring in, some show completed drawing to be copied or used as inspiration and some show step by step stages to recreate the art for yourself. This would be a gentle introduction for a beginner to this style of drawing but also has some tips to please someone with more experience and would make a lovely gift which would be suitable for children as well as adults.

This is a cute little book. If you like cats and like to draw, this might be something you would enjoy. The cats in this book are all cartoonish. (nothing wrong with that, they are cute, but if you are looking to draw realistic cats, this book is not for you). I did like the beginning of the book much better than the end of the book. The end of the book included how to draw cats that looked like, or were incorporated into food and other non living items, like plants, etc. So there is a cat stapler, and a cat cactus, and a cat mushroom. This just seemed odd to me. Overall, a cute book.

101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw by Lulu Mayo is a lovely and inspiring read about how you very simply can draw cats!
I am a cat lover and often doodles cats when bored, but they always end up looking and posing the same way.
This read shows simple technics that will make your drawings more fluffy, curly, or abstract. Loved how it showed cats as food and star signs etc. Just shows that with a bit of imagination you can fit cats in everywhere!
A perfect gift for doodlers, beginners, and cat lovers.

This was a very cute and fun read, all about cats and how to draw them. The tone of the book makes it great for kids, if they like cats and/or want to learn how to draw, this is perfect for them. There are quite a lot of different cats and figures (I haven't counted all of them but there may very well be 101 of them!). I liked how there were facts and tips on basic drawing stuff too, not only cats.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of "101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw" by Lulu Mayo. I primarily requested this title to share with two of my children who are aspiring artists. The NetGalley Shelf app made it super easy to download on our family iPad and let them go to town on drawing. A few years ago, after years of telling the kids we would never get a cat (I am allergic), we finally relented. Our cat is awesome and the kids have gotten more into pampering her and drawing pictures of her. I knew they'd love this book as it incorporates their love of drawing AND cats together. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a fun activity for kids or just wants a relaxing break for themselves.

Illustrator, author and lover of cats Lulu Mayo presents her book "101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw. Draw, doodle, and color a plethora of purrfectly pawsome felines and quirky cat mash-ups", published by Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster. Mayo touches topics such as "Drawing Cute Cats Step by Step", "Cat Food", "Cat Lady's Crockery", or "Artistic Cats." The book contains plenty of space and suggestions to try out Mayo's ideas and to be creative (it would be nice if these pages could be downloaded in order to use them more than once).
Mayo states in the introduction: "If you are crazy about cats, looking for new ways to get inspired to draw, or simply want to unwind after a busy day, you are in the right place. The activities in this adorable book are designed to provide you an escape from modern life to a relaxing world of quirkiness and creativity" (p. 4). The book shows very cute designs and is inspirational. Mayo designated it for cat lovers, doodle enthusiasts, for artists of all ages and skill levels and for those I highly recommend the book.
The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is a cute book and would make a great gift for anyone who is interested in cats, cartoon/anime and enjoys drawing or even doodling.
The author/artist demonstrates a great imagination in all the different ways to draw these cats, from cactus cats to sushi cats, there’s a huge variety.
My thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.

101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw is an adorable beginner drawing guide with tutorials by Lulu Mayo. Released 14th June 2022 by Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 128 pages and available in paperback format.

This is a how-to book. The sections and tutorials are grouped thematically and start with the very basic tools & supplies, and tips for getting started. Further chapters build on the skills from the earlier parts and include using color, and step-by-step tutorials.

The author has a very friendly and encouraging style of writing and the drawing lessons are not intimidating or difficult in any way. She also includes some tips and tricks to get the shy artist in motion.

The book seems to be slanted to a mostly younger audience, but frankly I see kawaii scientist cats with lab coats and syringes and microscopes in the margins of my "meeting notes" in my future.

Well worth a look, especially if you have a young artist (or wannabe) on your hands. It would also make a lovely gift, perhaps bundled with some art supplies. Highly recommended for folks who regularly interact with small children as well to learn to draw something which will delight and impress the smalls.

Four and a half stars

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher.

This book is amazing!

As a cat and doodle lover, I think I may be spending far too much time doodling cats while using this book. There are cute cats galore- so many different ones to choose from- and the instructions are easy to follow. The book includes sections where you can practice your work by adding colours or details to outlines provided as well as diagrams to show how you can create your own.

A lovely book to while away a rainy afternoon!

As huge cat fan I really liked this book it’s quirky and fun.
You don’t need much skill to pick up the drawing tips so it’s all book that would suit all levels of artist ability
. There is lots of sections of all different things(colours, ,shape etc) along with really fun sections on what to draw the cats as (food, star signs etc).
I really liked how there was space for the reader to practice in the actual book and the step by step guide made doing all the cat sketches fairly easy.
There is a cat sketch for everything you can think of, I loved stationary cats…cat stapler anyone!?! The full thing reminded of Pusheen Cat.
I think children age 10-13 would be best suited to this book. It’s possible it is just a little too advanced for smaller children and older teens unless very into drawing probably would think it wasn’t very cool, however it is a book am sure all adult cat lovers would love just to flick though for the cute sketches.
Note all the tips and guides are all for drawing cartoonish designs rather than real life animals.
This artwork in this book is fun, cute and has Japanese cat cafe vibes… I loved this and would buy this for my nieces who love drawing, designing cards and of course CATS

I’d be interested to see the other “Things To Draw” books by Lulu Mayo, wish I had discovered her work during lockdown and not just for the kids.

Ps- We loved learning how to draw Ragdolls, Lulu captured their fluffiness and poses perfectly.

Thank you Netgalley and Walter Foster Publishing for providing my copy.

Scribbling seem easy and fun, but in my opinion it wont create unique design without talent. But 101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw prove me wrong. This book not offer many variations in cat breed but it give us alot idea about doodling cat and all things we can mixed with cat. Cute and totally adorable as inspiration.

I had hoped for more examples of actual cats and kinds of cats to draw. This book shows one particular type of cat for the most part-- very fluffy and overweight -- and then shows all different cute things you can draw cat-shaped. For instance, you can draw cat shaped pastries, a cat shaped cactus, a cat shaped fish, and so on. We have 6 rescue cats and I would have thought that I could learn how to draw at least one of them with 101 cute cat drawings to choose from, but nope. There are no tuxedo cats, there are no cranky old orange tabbies, there are no sleek kittens. These are puffy, fat cats in a kawaii fluffy style, turned into inanimate objects for the most part. They're lovely if that's what you're looking for, but I didn't really want to learn how to draw cat shaped toasters and foods, just cats.

Three stars -- liked it, but didn't love it.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This book is adorable, and is sure to be a hit with creative cat lovers of all ages. I just wish I'd had a real copy to be able to do some of the lovely activities contained within the book.

Oh wow, what an adorable book! I love the style of these little cat characters and how many ideas it will give any child, artist or hobbyist looking to have some fun with this.

Overall the design is well thought through, with lots of cute details and different themes. The step by step instructions are fairly good, if quite simplified, but I'm sure most could follow them. Plenty of encouragement to draw and colour in the book itself, so it has a lovely interactive element.

A really sweet activity book and one that could inspire some fab cat-themed doodles!

My daughter (aged 8) already owns a few Lulu Mayo books and she loves this latest addition. I set her down with my copy of the book on the iPad and she worked her way through drawing everything from a banana cat, sushi cats, cat popcorn and cat pasta! She found it easy to follow and immediately asked me to give this book 5 stars. It’s captured my daughter’s imagination and I imagine other children who love art and animals will love this book too.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an advanced reader's copy of this book! This is a fun book for cat lovers who love to doodle and draw. I'm looking forward to seeing this when it is released in hard copy!

Thank you NetGalley for the Ebook!
This book is exactly what it says! A book of super cute cats! It has very easy instructions to follow and a few coloring pages that you can use to decorate your own cats. It shows you have to make a bunch of different cats with different themes like zodiac or mystical cats. It also shows you how to make the cutest cat accessories like cat slippers or hats.

I swear, this is one of the cutest ‘how to draw’ books I’ve ever seen. Cat food, especially cat sushi completely stole my heart and turned it into sweet mush. I LOVE IT!!!

Thank you so much, NetGalley for allowing me to read this arc. My boyfriend will send you a bill for therapy for all the cat drawings he’ll be seeing in the next few weeks 😂😂♥️

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw is an adorable drawing book all about cats! There's some really cute ideas in this book and I'm definitely going to be trying a few of them out. The book has the perfect balance of information - not too much or too little, and is bright and colourful. I enjoyed that it contains pages for you to have a goat the designs and doodles yourself - I wish I had the physical copy so I could have had a go as I read it as the pages are so cool! There's some fun little facts dotted in the book too. The start of the book gives a quick tutorial on equipment to use, shading, colour etc then dives into the best bit - the drawings!
This would be perfect for any Cat lover, child or adult and especially beginners too. So much fun! I hope there's a dog one next!
