Duster, known colloquially as Cat Album, is the third studio album by American rock band Duster. The album was released December 13, 2019 by Muddguts Records in the United States; the first Duster album to not be released under the Up Records label. Duster was also the first studio album released by the band in 19 years since the release of Contemporary Movement in 2000.

On April 13, 2018, Duster posted via their Instagram page that they were "recording a little bit". Later it was announced that the band's discography would be reissued as the box set Capsule Losing Contact through The Numero Group, which was released on March 22, 2019. On July 4, 2019, the band released their first standalone single in almost 20 years "Interstellar Tunnel" (the track was not included on Duster), and subsequently announced their third self-titled studio album, which was released on December 13 that year.
