Just go for early dorans and you will be fine against cait, since you can trade now. You also need a offensive or hardcounter support: Leona, Taric, ...

Kog has a weak early, but rushing a Stattik greatly increases his already nice burst and DpS. I made great expiriences to NOT rush AD, nor BotrK / PD. I also bought myself Hybrid Pen Marks to increase the damage done by his passive (W), his ult and Stattik significant in early mid. Hitting lv6 makes you strong, Stattik makes you very stronk and lv11 + Stattik = gg for enemy adc. No adc will outdamage you now anymore.

I played AP Kog before it was cool (good old days, max 200 manacost on R and the old op blue buff 400 Mana per 5 xD). Well I've made many expiriences with AP Kog and today (it changed a lot in S3) Kog is one badass champ, AP and "AD". As for AP Kog, his early sux. Hitting 6 makes you finally strong.

As for Runes, Mana and full MPen! Many make the mistake to take AP, wich is worse because of the relative low ratios of his ult and W.

Good Items for Kog are RoA, Grail, Haunting Guise and Tear. Mid it is Rylains, AA, Liandrys. And late game you should focus on Void, Rab, Lichbane. It hardly depends on the enemy. For example if you got easy lane, Haunting and Tear are great. If you suffer from harassment and burst, go for RoA.

Any questions? :)
