# Whimsical Feline Double Entendres Artist Derlaines Turns Pop Culture Icons into Cat Puns By Mesel Isaac | Published 2014-01-23 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-puns References: [nerdapproved](http://nerdapproved.com/approved-products/british-actors-make-adorable-punny-cartoon-cats/) & [derlaine.tumblr](http://derlaine.tumblr.com/) Tumblr user Derlaine is an artist who has drawn a series of hilarious pop-culture and celebrity cat puns. Based on her Scottish Fold cat, Waffles, Derlaine has drawn her cat in the guise of British celebrities, anime characters and [Disney Princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew), complete with their corresponding names turned into hilarious cat puns. Sleeping Mewty, Rapurrnzel, Fur Mewtal Alchemist, Dragonpaw, Catsian Bale and Ewan McCatgor are just a few of Derlaine’s 30 pop culture cat puns. Funnily enough, I feel that it’s worth noting that Amazing Spider-Man star, Andrew Garfield’s name didn’t need to be turned into a pun. With cute art and funny names, Derlaine has made a name for herself in the crowded arena of [cat memes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskas-purradise). As someone who’s not big into puns, I have to say my personal favorites amongst Derlaine’s cat puns are Tom Kittenston and Mewlan. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pop Culture Cat Puns:** Creating cat puns based on pop culture icons and celebrities presents an opportunity for whimsical and entertaining merchandise, social media content, and collaborations. - **Personalized Pet Art:** Transforming pets into recognizable characters opens up possibilities for personalized artwork, pet accessories, and digital content creation. - **Crowded Cat Memes:** In the competitive space of cat memes, innovative approaches like incorporating popular culture and wordplay can help stand out and engage audiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage pop culture cat puns to create unique and marketable products, such as prints, merchandise, and collaborations. - **Pet Industry:** The pet industry can explore personalized pet art as a niche market, offering customized pet portraits, accessories, and digital content for pet owners. - **Social Media and Content Creation:** In the realm of social media and content creation, the incorporation of cat puns into memes and posts presents an opportunity for increased engagement and viral reach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop Star-Themed Animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-swiftthemed-cats.md) - [Humorous Cat Collectables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tired-cats-gachapon.md) - [Playful Cat Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-meow.md) - [Feline Meme Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-meme-material-download.md) - [Cat-Friendly Book Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tails-of-irresistibility.md) - [Cat Pet-Care Podcasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-purrcast.md) - [Feline-Hosted Podcasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskas-purrcast.md) - [Playful Coffee Merch Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-mofusand.md) - [Cat-Themed Crime Podcasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purry-duty.md)
