α Cae - The brightest star of the constellation, although it only reaches a magnitude of 4.52. In reality, it is a binary star, with a companion of magnitude 12.4 located at a separation of 6.6". However, we would need a larger telescope to verify this. The system is located at a distance of 66 light-years from us.

γ Cae - Double star distinguishable only with a larger telescope. The main yellow-orange star with a brightness of 4.7mag has a companion at a separation of 2.9 arcseconds with a brightness of 8.5mag.

R Cae - A relatively bright variable star of the Mira Ceti type, which changes its brightness between 6.7mag and 13.7mag in a period longer than 13 months.
