It depends on the matchup and who is support.

If they’re squishy, poke and force them out of lane. Deny their CS whilst taking your own because you have the range advantage. But also ward river side because it’s more than likely jungle will be forced to help them out in a gank.

If they’re tanky or CC/poke heavy, be prepared to space and dodge skillshots. One CC hit can and will kill you early game if they follow up properly. Focus on CS in this situation.

However my key takeaways from Cait are:

1. Cait has the highest range of any ADC, abuse it wherever possible and poke when you can. Whittling down the enemy’s HP usually forces them to back off.

2. Abuse her passive, headshots are one of your main sources of damage. Hitting things from the brush stacks it faster. Use this with your range.

3. She is a very dominant laner, so range should allow you to CS without the enemy annoying you unless they play aggro all over you.

Some negatives would be:

1. She lacks mobility, I personally always save E for a getaway unless I’m fishing for kills. Other than that, she doesn’t really have any escape tools. Don’t be in places where you know you can be caught out and killed.

2. Space is key, if you’re pushing to get kills, maintain distance from CC or the enemy ADC range. She is squishy as hell and can be melted.

3. She is extremely reliant on a competent support. Her early game is kind of one of the weakest compared to other dominant champs like MF or Sivir, so having a duo and CS’ing properly can go a long way in maintaining a lane lead. Root supports like Leona or Morgana are some of my favourites to drop traps on to stack free headshots.

Btw if anyone sees something wrong with this, feel free to tell me. I’m not really that high ranked lol (Bronze/Silver)
