The recent Bitcoin bull run has created many new unique ecosystems within the wider crypto market. While some existing meme coins like Dogecoin and Pepe have experienced massive growth, many investors have also shifted their attention toward cat-themed meme coins, seen as the next big ‘meta’ narrative.
With the combined market cap of cat memes approaching $5 billion, the top cat-themed meme cryptos are aiming to surpass major OG cryptos such as DOGE and Shiba Inu. This is not entirely unexpected, as industry pundits like Murad recently tweeted that this growth aligns with analyst GCR’s famous Cat Coins prophecy.
Among them is Catslap, a meme coin that took the market by storm within a day of launching directly on a decentralized exchange.
Cat Themed Meme Coins that are Ruling the Price Charts Right Now
Here are the top 6 cat-themed meme tokens that have captured the crypto community’s attention.
Catslap (SLAP)
The viral video of a cat slapping another cat or person has become a popular meme, one of the most recognizable online.
Leveraging this meme’s high level of interactivity, Catslap—a brand new meme coin project—quickly captured the community’s attention after launching on decentralized exchanges.
Developed on the Ethereum blockchain, Catslap has been described as the world’s most aggressive feline, capable of toppling even the cat-memes that are sitting at the top spot on the price charts.
This meme coin has taken a utility-centric approach, and it is very simple. Users that arrive on the website are welcome to tap the screen and see as the cat slaps Pepe.
This meme coin first arrived on Best Wallet in the “Upcoming Tokens” section after launching on Uniswap. As soon as it arrived, its price went up by more than 2000% before a minor retrace.
Multiple cryptocurrency KOLs have already started to talk about it already. For instance, Crypto Diplomat has stated that this token has 1000x potential.
Other prominent crypto experts on X, such as Crypto Embassy, have rightly called it the next viral sensation.
The token will likely continue to gain the attention of the crypto community. With a staking protocol also underway and a major announcement for the community expected within the next few days, anticipation around this cat-themed meme coin is high.
Popcat (POPCAT)
Developed on the Solana blockchain, Popcat is a no-utility cat-themed meme coin that has ridden the wave of a cute cat all the way to the top of the price charts.
Currently leading cat-themed meme coins by market capitalization, Popcat has been in an uptrend since its entry into perpetual futures markets in late August 2024.
Notably, OKX listed POPCAT on its perpetual futures market on August 29, 2024, offering users the opportunity to trade with leverage of up to 50x.
Additionally, Binance Futures launched POPCATUSDT perpetual contracts on August 22, 2024, with a maximum leverage of 75x.
As of November 22, 2024, Popcat (POPCAT) is trading at approximately $1.5, with a market capitalization exceeding $1.5 billion.
This significant growth has caught the attention of prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space. Notably, analyst RookieXBT recently highlighted Popcat’s price action, suggesting a shift in market dynamics.
Even though the cat meme tokens only have a fraction of Doge meme coin’s market capitalization, it is becoming clear that people are now gravitating toward lower-cap tokens with a different narrative to boot.
Mog Coin (MOG)
Another token that has made significant gains in the current bull market is Mog Coin. Advertised as the internet’s first culture coin, this cat-themed meme token was launched in the summer of 2023 via a fair launch on Uniswap V2 LP.
While Mog Coin lacks inherent utility, it leverages its unique memetic branding to drive value and community engagement.
Even its whitepaper, provided by this meme coin, is a parody, containing only a couple of lines on a single page stating, “Be a Fu***** Winner. Win at Everything You Do.”
Mog Coin had to wait for months before experiencing its first surge. The first major bullish move for this crypto happened in March 2024. Since then, the token’s price has progressively increased. At the time of writing, its price is up by more than 17,000% since launch. It is currently trading around the $0.0000028 level and has a market capitalization of just over $1.11 billion.
cat in a dogs world (MEW)
cat in a dogs World (MEW) has also seen significant growth this year. A Solana-powered meme coin, cat in a dogs World focuses on a unique spy-thriller-style narrative to generate buzz across social media. Another reason for its growth is its feminist undertones, depicted through the story of a cat striving to survive in a dog’s world.
However, unlike other cat-themed memes, this token is not entirely without utility. It features a unique “Creative World” offering merchandise such as emojis, posters, and stickers.
Since launch, MEW has had multiple listings, and its surge to the current level can be attributed to these listing pumps. The most recent one occurred in late October 2024, when the token secured a spot on Kraken and Upbit.
This cat meme coin has surged by more than 400% since its launch and is currently trading around the $0.009 level. The token’s market capitalization is just shy of $890 million.
Simon’s Cat (CAT)
Developed on the BNB chain, Simon’s Cat describes itself as “one cat, billions of owners.” The token offers a simplified utility, primarily associated with airdrops.
According to the project’s tokenomics, the airdrops are directed toward FLOKI holders. As a charitable project, a significant portion of the tokens has also been allocated to the Simon’s Cat Foundation.
This cat meme token has also experienced a massive surge since its launch, currently up by more than 180%.
$CAT is trading around the $0.00004 level and has a market capitalization exceeding $290 million.
Factors that have contributed to its growth are a combination of memes and burn programs, for which the project developers partnered with BONKbot. Another reason behind its increase is its listing on OKX in late October 2024.
michi ($MICHI)
Michi is a cat-themed meme coin that has made significant gains since its launch. The official website describes it as the “most memeable cat on the internet.”
While the token has no long-term utility, the website allows users to create their own Michi memes using the available traits.
With features like 0% tax, Michi has become the fifth-biggest cat-themed meme coin by market capitalization. It is currently trading around the $0.3 level and has a market capitalization exceeding $160 million.
Different Narrative Needs are Pushing People Toward Cat Meme Coins
Cat meme coins have now grown in vogue in the latest bull run. People seem to want out of the same, stale narrative, and they are looking for newer low-cap tokens, which is driving up these meme coins’ value.
Catslap has generated the most buzz among them, giving users a simple meme coin with an interactive, simple game that stays true to its comedic themes. And with more developments on the way, it can potentially become the next big cat meme coin on the market.
