When Cats Attack Coloring Book Review: Giant Cats, Laser Eyes, and Pure Feline Chaos

If you've ever watched your cat knock a glass off the table while maintaining complete eye contact, you've probably wondered what they would do if they were the size of a skyscraper.

Thankfully, When Cats Attack answers that question.

Spoiler alert: humanity doesn't stand much of a chance.

This quirky coloring book is packed with giant cats causing mayhem across cities, landmarks, and even outer space. It's silly, over-the-top, and doesn't take itself seriously for a second—which is exactly why it's so much fun.

First Impressions

The cover immediately tells you what you're in for: giant cats wreaking havoc.

The title, When Cats Attack, is paired with the subtitle Strange Design Coloring Book, and the wording made me suspect the creator may not be a native English speaker. That doesn't take away from the experience, though. The concept is simple, and the humor translates just fine.

One thing to know before buying: this is a fairly slim coloring book. It doesn't have hundreds of pages, but what it has is a collection of goofy, imaginative scenes featuring cats behaving exactly as cats probably would if they suddenly became 200 feet tall.

Paper Quality

This is one area where you'll want to manage your expectations.

The paper is fairly thin—only a little thicker than standard printer paper.

That means:

• Colored pencils work well.
• Gel pens should be fine.
• Light marker use is probably okay.
• Alcohol markers or very wet media may bleed through.

The good news is that each illustration is printed on only one side of the page, so you won't ruin artwork on the reverse if you do decide to experiment.

The book also includes a test page, which is always a welcome addition. It's a great place to try out new markers or color combinations before committing to a full illustration.

Giant Cats vs. the World

The theme couldn't be simpler:

Cats have become enormous.

Everything else is in trouble.

The illustrations are packed with ridiculous scenarios that had me laughing as I flipped through the pages.

Stonehenge Doesn't Stand a Chance

One of the first pages features a giant cat destroying Stonehenge.

Honestly, it feels believable.

Cats already enjoy knocking carefully arranged objects onto the floor. Ancient monuments seem like the logical next step.

King Kong... But Fuzzier

Several illustrations have obvious giant-monster movie vibes.

Instead of King Kong climbing skyscrapers, though, we get oversized cats happily causing destruction simply because they can.

It's a fun twist on the classic giant monster formula.

Laser-Eyed Cats

Apparently, regular giant cats weren't enough.

Several illustrations feature cats firing lasers from their eyes.

As someone who's been on the receiving end of the infamous "3 a.m. zoomies," I can confirm this feels surprisingly accurate.

Holiday Chaos

One unexpected page features a festive Christmas scene starring an oversized cat.

It actually struck me as the illustration that would make a hilarious homemade holiday card.

Nothing says "Season's Greetings" quite like a giant cat interrupting Christmas.

Bath Time... in the Middle of Town

Cats are famous for grooming themselves whenever they feel like it.

Naturally, one page shows a giant cat casually taking a bath in the middle of a city.

Priorities.

Ocean Monsters

Several illustrations move the action to the sea, where giant cats emerge from the water and threaten bridges, ships, and coastlines.

One page shows a cat chewing on bridge cables, which feels completely on-brand.

Real cats chew phone chargers.

Giant cats chew suspension bridges.

Scratching Posts Scale Up Too

One of my favorite pages features an enormous scratching post built for a giant cat.

Finally, someone was thinking ahead.

Cat Dimension Confirmed?

At one point, I couldn't help but joke that these enormous felines must have arrived from some mysterious Cat Dimension.

It would explain a lot.

Where do cats disappear to when they vanish for hours inside a house you've already searched three times?

The Cat Dimension.

I'm sticking with that theory.

The Artwork

The artwork itself is fairly simple.

This isn't an ultra-detailed coloring book filled with intricate patterns and tiny line work.

Instead, the illustrations leave plenty of open space, making them easy to color and even easier to customize.

If you enjoy adding your own backgrounds, effects, or extra details, this book gives you lots of room to get creative.

Pop Culture Inspirations

A few illustrations clearly take inspiration from familiar pop culture.

You'll likely notice scenes that remind you of giant monster movies and classic science fiction adventures. While they're playful nods rather than exact recreations, some pages do tread pretty close to recognizable designs.

That made me wonder whether the book falls under parody or simply draws heavy inspiration. Either way, it's something worth keeping in mind if you're interested in independently published coloring books.

Bonus Content

Toward the back of the book, there's a fun surprise: a bonus page from the companion Cats and Space coloring book.

If you enjoy one book, it's a nice preview of another collection featuring even more absurd feline adventures.

Final Verdict

When Cats Attack isn't trying to be an elegant art book.

It's trying to make you smile.

Mission accomplished.

If you're looking for a coloring book full of:

• Giant cats
• Laser eyes
• Monster movie humor
• Easy-to-color illustrations
• Plenty of room for creativity

Then this is a fun addition to your collection.

The artwork may be simple, but that's part of its charm. It's approachable, lighthearted, and perfect for anyone who loves cats with a healthy dose of ridiculousness.

After all, our cats already act as if they own the world.

This coloring book simply imagines what would happen if they were big enough to prove it.
