The way I play Caitlyn works for me, however it might not for you. This is in no way guaranteed.
Early Game:
Grab your first item and go mid. HURRY getting there! Before the minions have spawned, go close enough to the enemy's tower (without getting hit) to where it reveals the champion standing there. If there is an enemy standing there by his turret, fire a
Piltover Peacemaker their way. This takes a nice chunk of their health. Run away. If the enemy fires back, they will most likely miss and have to wait for the next cooldown, giving you a chance to autoattack. Cait's basic attack is pretty strong so it gets them down even lower. If they still don't run away, sacrifice the health you're taking from their hits for the first blood. Then recall and hurry to catch up with the minions. However if things go sour and you don't think you can kill them first, run or
Flash and
Ghost away! The key to this is to get there quickly. If not, they could be waiting in the brush for you, so you wanna hurry down there the fastest you can to avoid getting trapped between them and the tower.
After minions have spawned, Cait should focus on farming. Last hitting minions is easy with her, so the gold should be piling up quickly. Remember, you have a longer range than your enemy most likely, so use that to your advantage and harass them out of the way. This will keep them from gaining gold and experience, giving you the upper hand. Never cross the river by yourself, as you will be ganked. Wait for the enemy to push back into a safer zone for you and farm minions again. Repeat this over and over until you get a chance to attack the tower along with your minions, without a chance of being ganked. While attacking the tower, be very weary of the three M's: Minions, MIA's, and the map. Keep an eye on the map to make sure you can see all of the enemies. If one dissapears into the jungle, back away, for they are most likely coming in for a gank. MIAs are convienent, however you can't always rely on them so this is the only way to be sure. Watch the minons. If the tower is hitting the last ally minion, back off otherwise you'll be hit by the tower. (Duh.)
Midgame:
Once you've destroyed the tower, you begin mid game. For me, this is the funnest part of the game. Concentrate on keeping the enemy minion waves away from your tower, being weary of ganks, and ganking. Once you feel that the mid tower is safe for a while, go either top or bottom and depending on the situation, either gank the enemy or help push. Keep an eye on mid lane! If it looks like the enemy is getting the advantage on mid, leave and go back to mid lane to keep them off your tower.
Lategame:
Caitlyn is known for being quite useless end game. I see why people would think this, however I've found it to be not completely true. When pushing as a team, Cait should always stay in the back for two reasons: 1) She has a long range, so she doesnt need to be at the front, and 2) she's targeted first by the other team since she dies easily.

Cait's ultimate is great. However it also has it's cons.
It has ahhhmazing range and is awesome for killing those enemies who think theyre smart enough to just run away once you've got them down to low health. Just pop your ult on them and boom--theyre dead.
The negative parts about her ult:
Channeling: Cait has to channel up her ult before firing which is bad for 3 reasons:
Therefore, her ult has to be thought out before it's used. Think to yourself: Am I in a safe place to start channeling? Is someone gonna take the bullet and make me waste it? If the answer is no and then yes, think twice before firing.

The negative parts about her ult:
Channeling: Cait has to channel up her ult before firing which is bad for 3 reasons:
-
1) If you're 1v1 and need a quick burst of damage, it takes too long to charge up, giving the opponent time to kill you.
2) The channeling process can be interrupted, causing you to waste your ultimate and possibly risk your life.
3) Caitlyn cannot move while channeling which makes her vulnerable to being gang raped.
