80 Cat Puns For Cards, Captions And Cat People

Frequently asked questions

What is the best cat pun for a card?

'You have got to be kitten me' for a funny card, 'purr-fect in every way' for a warmer one. Both land without any setup.

Are cat puns suitable for a work card?

Only if the colleague is a known cat person. Otherwise use a food pun - safer and just as easy.
