Raorchestes kaikatti is a small but relatively robust-bodied frog, medium-sized by the standards of Raorchestes. Males measure 23-26 mm in snout-vent length, and the type series included no females. The back is dark greyish brown with irregular light-grey and dark-brown blotches, with a dark horizontal grey band between the eyes (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is named for the place where it was found, Kaikatti. Later surveys showed it in small patches of evergreen forest, in the canopy as high as 5 metres above the ground, and on coffee plantations and other farms near forests (Wikipedia, general species account).
