She'd be able to poke pretty well in lane, though, and her utility and range would guarantee her a minimum of safety to fall back to if she does fall behind. Poke champions in general tend to be less feast-or-famine than other champions simply because they can keep on poking, so I think even if Cait has a terrible laning phase she'd be able to make up for it with poking power later.
