What do you call a pile of kittens?

A meow-ntain!

Why This Joke Works

"Meow-ntain" swaps "mou" in "mountain" with "meow" — the sound cats make. A pile of kittens would literally be a meow-ntain: a mountain of meowing. The portmanteau is adorable, the mental image is irresistible, and it's the kind of word kids will repeat endlessly.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Ask the question and then say "a meow-ntain" in a high-pitched cat voice. Pile your hands on top of each other to show the growing mountain of kittens. The cuter you make it, the better.

Perfect for:

  • When kittens pile on top of each other (in person or in videos)
  • Cat cafe visits
  • When your kid begs for a kitten and you need to lighten the 'no'
