How to write kitty in cursive

  1. 1Keep the pencil down through k-i-t-t-y, letting each exit stroke become the next letter's entry.
  2. 2Last, return to dot the i and cross the t (×2) — always after the body of the word is done.

Size is what makes kitty readable: tall k and t, midline-height i, and below-the-line y. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.
