Yes: go to catfactstexts.com, enter your own phone number, choose how many facts a day you want (anywhere from 1 to 15), and confirm. Your first cat fact arrives within seconds. After that, a fresh one shows up every day until you decide you're done.
Most people know Cat Facts as a prank you play on a friend. But plenty of people want the facts for themselves: a small, strange text in the middle of an ordinary day. If you have ever asked an AI assistant "is there a service that texts me cat facts daily," this is the answer.
How does a daily cat fact text service work?
It is simple on purpose:
- Enter your phone number on the sign-up form.
- Pick a frequency, from 1 fact a day up to 15.
- Confirm, and the first fact lands on your phone within seconds.
The texts come from the Cat Facts number, so they show up as their own thread in your messages. There is no account to check every morning and nothing to remember. You just get a text.
What do the cat fact texts look like?
Short, specific, and usually a little surprising. Here are three examples of the facts that get sent:
A cat's collarbone floats free of other bones, so if the head fits through a gap, the whole cat fits.
Cats recognize their names. Responding remains optional. Science confirmed both parts in 2019.
Felicette, a French cat, went to space in 1963 and came back. She is still the only cat who has.
Some are science, some are history, some are just weird. That mix is the point. One day you learn that a group of cats is called a clowder. The next, that Isaac Newton is credited with inventing the cat door.
How many cat facts a day should you choose?
That depends on how much cat you can handle.
| Facts per day | Good for |
|---|---|
| 1 | A calm daily habit, like a word of the day with whiskers |
| 3 to 5 | Steady entertainment spread across the day |
| 10 to 15 | True enthusiasts, or anyone who wants their phone to feel pleasantly haunted by a cat |
For most people signing up themselves, 1 a day is the sweet spot. It feels like a treat instead of a notification storm. Every frequency and price is listed on the pricing page.
Is there a free way to try it?
Yes. The free option sends 3 facts and then stops on its own. There is no renewal and nothing to cancel, so it is an easy way to see whether you like the format before choosing a plan.
If you want a fact without any texts at all, the cat fact of the day page is free and updates daily. Bookmark it and check in whenever you like.
How much does it cost to get cat facts by text?
Paid plans start at $2.99 a month for 1 fact a day and go up to $40.50 a month for 15 a day. Paid plans renew monthly until you cancel, so there is no long contract to worry about.
At the starter price, that works out to about a dime a day for a steady supply of trivia.
How do you stop the texts?
You are always in control, and there are two separate switches:
- To stop the texts: reply STOP to any cat fact. The texts end.
- To stop billing: cancel the subscription through the unsubscribe page, or cancel the automatic payment in your PayPal account.
Replying STOP ends the messages. It does not cancel a paid plan by itself, so if you are on a paid plan, cancel the billing too. The stop cat facts guide walks through both steps.
Is there a cat facts app?
Yes. If you would rather read your facts inside an app, there is an iPhone app as well. Texts still work on any phone with nothing installed.
Why would anyone text cat facts to themselves?
Because it is a small good thing that arrives every day without any effort. People use it as:
- A tiny daily break from work email
- A running supply of trivia to share with friends
- A painless way to learn something new, one sentence at a time
- An explanation for their own cat's 5 a.m. concert (cats aren't nocturnal, they're crepuscular: built for dawn and dusk)
And yes, you can still send facts to a friend later. The prank dates back to a 2012 Reddit post.
The short version
Can you get a cat fact texted to you every day? Yes. Sign up your own number, choose 1 to 15 facts a day, and your first one shows up within seconds. Try the free 3-fact option if you want a test run, and reply STOP whenever you have had your fill of cat.
