Cutesy Captions for Kitty Photos
The most popular “style” of cat pic might be “the cutesy” – a pic that captures a cat in an impossibly delightful pose or expression, like rubbing its face on something unusual. What could you say about it?
1. “You had me at meow.”
Now you have to show me the organic catnip.
2. “I’m a smitten kitten”
When a cat shows affection, it is a thing of beauty.
3. “You could say my whole house is a catwalk.”
Cats are models. You know what I mean? And they do their little turns on the catwalk.

Cat Talk
