# Cat.

#### How to contribute:
1. Create a copy of `cat_sitting_template.png` or `cat_standing_template.png` in the `cat_templates` folder.
2. Open the file in *Microsoft Paint*.
3. Edit the image, following these guidelines:
- Only use the `Brush` tool
- Use **Black** (`#000000`)
- Only draw within the facial region
- Avoid exceeding the outline of the template
- A mouse or touchpad is recommended
4. Rename the file to `cat_sitting_XXXXXXXX.png` or `cat_standing_XXXXXXXX.png`, replacing `XXXXXXXX` with something that describes what you have drawn and place it in the appropriate folder.
5. Raise a pull request with your newly drawn sitting/standing cat(s).
- Sitting cats should be added to the `cats/` folder
- Standing cats should be added to the `cats_2/` folder
