50 Best Cat Instagram Captions That Are Funny and Cute

Having a cat is like having a forever (er, fur-ever?) best friend. They're basically walking, meowing, sassy shadows that bring a whole lot of love and laughter to your life... even if you have to work for it. 😹 And it's worth it, right? Right! Because as Ree Drummond says: "They’re intriguing, mysterious, purry, slinky, graceful, soft, affectionate…and perfect."

Along with plenty of affection and added fur to your home (our eternal thanks to the best vacuums for pet hair), owning a cat also means your camera roll is full of the cutest pictures of your fluffy feline friend. See: Ree's photoshoots of her cats in posts such as Kitty Love and Oh, to be a Cat. But whether you've captured a picture of your cat curled up on your lap (you have to grab photo evidence that they do, in fact, love you), snapped a shot of a sleeping kitten, engineered a playful photo of your kitty mid-pounce with cat toys, or even managed to get them into Halloween costumes for cats (props to you!), these cat Instagram captions will work purr-fectly for all of your adorable feline photos.

We've curated this list of 50 cat captions including cute sayings, funny lines (yes, there are cat puns), and even the sweetest cat quotes for all of your Instagrammable meow-ments. There's even options for posting from your cat's POV. And if you're just like the Drummonds, aka a cat and dog household, take a look at these dog Instagram captions, too. Now, if you could only get them to pose...
