Cash Cat Surges 113% in One Week: Growing Risks in Cat and Dog Memecoins

As the crypto rally spreads from major assets to smaller cat- and dog-themed meme coins, some tokens have nearly doubled in a single week.

According to data cited by CoinDesk, the surge indicates that investors are pivoting toward higher-risk tokens with lower market capitalizations. In such movements, the limited liquidity depth of small coins can make price fluctuations even more drastic.

Robinhood-based Cash Cat rose 51 percent in 24 hours on Tuesday, reaching $0.218. The token’s weekly gains hit 113 percent, with a 345 percent increase over the last 30 days. As a result, Cash Cat’s market cap reached approximately $215 million. The token’s 24-hour trading volume also stood at around $80 million.

Small-cap meme coins outperform major tokens

Among cat-themed tokens, Thinking Cat rose 131%, Purr 93%, Popcat 54%, and MEW 49%. In dog-themed tokens, Dog (Bitcoin) surged approximately 100%, dogwifhat 64%, Bonk 47%, and Floki 40%.

Gains remained more limited for larger meme coins. Dogecoin increased by about 32% over the last seven days, while Shiba Inu gained 30%. Meme coins are known as assets driven by internet culture and community interest rather than traditional corporate activities.

The $80 million daily volume for Cash Cat indicates high trading activity relative to its $215 million market cap. However, low liquidity can magnify gains when buying accelerates, just as it can deepen losses once selling begins.

Market risk appetite has also strengthened. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index rose from around 30 to 75, reaching its highest level since early October 2025. The index measures current investor sentiment; it does not, on its own, imply a prediction of a new crash.
