Quick answer
Choose the Not Normal Cat Coaster if you want the broader cat-humor appeal and the lower price. Choose the I Love You The Way I Am Pug Coaster if you prefer a pug-specific joke or value plastic-free packaging. Both share the same 100 mm square cork-backed hardboard build.
What actually differs between these two Gemma Correll coasters
The artwork and the price are the only differences shown in the catalog. Both coasters are 100 mm square (almost 4"x4"), made with hardboard and cork, and imported. The Not Normal Cat Coaster is listed at USD 1.48 (comparison price USD 2.15), while the Pug Coaster is USD 1.57 (comparison price USD 2.15). That nine-cent gap is small, so pick the design that fits the recipient rather than the price.
The Pug Coaster listing also states plastic-free packaging: it ships loose in paper packaging. The Not Normal Cat listing does not mention packaging, so if plastic-free shipping matters to you, the Pug Coaster is the safer documented choice.
The trade-off: cat humor vs pug specificity
The Not Normal Cat Coaster has a wider audience because cat-themed humor is broadly relatable. The Pug Coaster is more specific: it works best for pug owners or people who know the 'I love you the way I am' phrase. If you are buying for a mixed group or a cat lover, the Not Normal Cat is the more flexible pick. If you are buying for a pug household, the Pug Coaster feels more personal.
Both coasters are the same size and material, so neither protects your table better than the other. The decision is about the joke and the packaging note, not durability.
