"Caturday" is internet slang meaning saturday, as the day of the week for posting lolcats or other pictures of cats. It travels through TikTok, Discord, Twitter/X, gaming chat and group DMs, and most teens absorb it from feeds and memes rather than from face-to-face friends. Using it is normal online-native behaviour and does not on its own indicate anything worrying. If you are not sure what they mean, asking them to explain it is a friendly, low-stakes way in; teens generally enjoy translating their corner of the internet for a curious parent.

When you love cats, every day is #Caturday! 😺❤️😻 I had a mini-Yorkie for many years. Best dog I've ever had! I love cats AND dogs, but I'm too old now to walk a dog every day. 🐈🐕🐈⬛

When I can’t find the new cat, I’ve learned to look for lumps under the quilt. How can she breathe like that? (Not even #Caturday)

For ESL learners
"Caturday" is online-informal English meaning saturday, as the day of the week for posting lolcats or other pictures of cats. It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "saturday" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to use "Caturday" in essays, emails or job applications; it belongs only in chat, social media or casual messaging. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.

Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
