Your Cat's 'Just a Little Baby' Who Deserves the Purr-fect Instagram Caption

If there is one truth in this world, it is that people love looking at cat pictures on the internet. Your feline needn’t be a fancy cat breed or famous like Taylor Swift’s cats. If your phone’s photo roll, like mine, is 90 percent pictures of your cat, you’ve got at least a few share-worthy gems in there—and you need some cute, funny, and short cat Instagram captions stat.

Now, odds are you have about a million hilarious nicknames inspired by your floof’s personality and behavior, despite the fact that you went to great lengths to pick the best cute cat name upon adoption. These monikers can make excellent fodder for cat captions (e.g., "Our silly little Roly Poly" captioning a video of my cat showing exactly how she earned that nickname).

Your cat’s pose or facial expression might also inform your description, whether he's posing as a lovable loaf, scoring a perfect 10 for face-planting while napping, or sporting a particularly derpy look (in which case, you might even invite your friends to join in the fun of captioning the photo in the comments). Need more inspo? That’s where these cat captions come in. From clever cat puns to famous cat quotes to sentimental odes to the four-legged creature than owns your heart, you’ll find the right words here.

So, whether it’s your cat’s birthday or “gotcha day,” International Cat Day (see gift ideas for cat lovers for this August 8^th occasion), or just because, choose your photo or video, find your perfect caption, and post that sweet furbaby for all to enjoy!
