The mood Kurt Vonnegut puts in Cat’s Cradle is the same mood he uses in all of his books, it is random, rambling, cynical, stream of consciousness and genuinely human. He creates this by having the entire story told from the perspective of one character, by having large font and 1-10 page chapters and by being completely frank and cynical about every possible subject including sex, religion, politics and just life in general but still funny.He does this to show his message that the world is a much simpler place then we'd believe with simple people and simple basic emotions that shape the way we are. Everything else is background noise.
