43 Purrfect Instagram Captions for Your Cat Photos

Updated: Aug. 25, 2021

Your cat pic is on point (Mr. Whiskers is a pawsome model), but writing cat Instagram captions is a furmidable challenge. Until now!

It’s meowty hard to find the right cat Instagram captions

Whether napping in a sunbeam or sitting at your dining table like they’re people, cats are photogenic: This is a fact. You don’t need advanced photography skills to get a great photo of your fluffiest pal. They handle the cuteness; you just point and click (and click, and click!). Maybe cats take so well to being photographed because it seems natural to them to have adoring fans? But when it comes to sharing your cat pics, the hardest part isn’t just picking the sweetest photoā€”it’s coming up with the right cat Instagram caption. Of course, some of the work can be done with funny cat names, but other times you need a pawfect pithy sentence to really capture your cat’s vibe. If you’re short on ideas, you could always steal one from your own selfie captions, or even alter some funny dog Instagram captions to fit your kitty. Or, you could just bookmark this page of cat Instagram captions, and never have to waste a #caturday thinking about what to write again!
