Cat Butt Coasters Are Real and They’ve Ruined All Other Coasters for Me
Submitted by: Hannah P., Portland, OR — “I have three cats. I have twelve cat butt coasters. This is proportional.”
TL;DR: Wine, a cat sitting on my laptop, a retaliatory Amazon search for cat-themed items to put on MY terms, and the discovery that Cat Butt Coasters exist. They arrived. They are ceramic. They are anatomically committed. I use them daily. My regular coasters haven’t seen use in months. I have no plans to return to them.
I want to tell you about the night my cat sat on my laptop at a critical moment.
I was in the middle of something important. My cat, Bartholomew, has perfect awareness of when I’m doing something important and perfect indifference to this information. He sat directly on my keyboard, closed a window I needed, and then looked at me with an expression that I can only describe as deliberately neutral.
I was frustrated. And then, because I have a mature emotional response system, I opened Amazon and typed “cat stuff” with the energy of someone who is going to win this somehow.
The Cat Butt Coasters
The Cat Butt Coasters are ceramic coasters featuring illustrated cat posteriors. Each coaster shows a different cat butt — varying in color, breed, and tail position — rendered in a clean, cheerful style that is somehow both undeniably anatomical and completely charming.
The set includes multiple coasters, each a different butt, providing variety for your coaster rotation.
Why This Exists
Someone looked at the coaster market and thought: the missing thing here is cat butts. This person was correct. Cat butts are:
- Universally recognizable (everyone who has a cat has seen this exact view, constantly, without asking)
- Inherently funny in a gentle, affectionate way
- Aesthetically coherent (a well-rendered cat butt has genuine compositional completeness)
- Conversation-starting without being offensive
The cat butt coaster is the result of someone who understood their market deeply and made exactly the right product.
The Quality Is Serious
I expected novelty coaster quality — thin, slightly cheap, the kind of thing that chips after two months. The Cat Butt Coasters are ceramic, with a glazed finish that actually functions as a coaster should. They protect surfaces. They absorb condensation. They’re dishwasher safe.
These are real coasters that also have cat butts on them. That combination is rarer than you’d think.
The Cat Tax
Here’s the thing about owning cat-themed items: actual cats are drawn to them. Bartholomew has inspected every Cat Butt Coaster with serious intent. He has sat near them during use. I believe he recognizes something. I don’t know what he recognizes. I choose to find this charming.
Daily Life with Cat Butt Coasters
My regular coasters were plain cork. Functional. Boring. Communicating nothing about me or my household.
The Cat Butt Coasters communicate: this is a household that does not take itself too seriously, loves cats, and has a sense of humor about the indignities of cat ownership — the sitting on laps at inconvenient moments, the knocking things off shelves, the 3am zoomies, the sitting directly on things you’re trying to use.
Every guest who sees the coasters has a reaction. The reaction is always positive. Three separate guests have asked for the link.
I have set the link to everyone who has asked.
For Whom This Is Obvious
- Cat owners who’ve accepted their situation
- People who want conversation-starting home goods
- Anyone who needs a gift for a cat person
- Anyone who thinks coasters should be more interesting than they usually are
