About this design
A funny cat shirt that says the quiet part out loud. "I answer to the cat" was written for cat parents and set in big retro type with a coffee cup, the kind of graphic you can read on a phone thumbnail and still enjoy in person. It comes as a soft Comfort Colors tee, a cozy crewneck and a dishwasher-safe mug, all printed in the USA when you order — so every colour and size is always available.

Why this one lands
Generic cat people shirts say the category; this one says the thing cat parents say to each other. That specificity is why it gets worn and why it works as a gift: the person receiving it knows you know. The retro retro layout and coffee cup mark make it readable at thumbnail size, which is the difference between a shirt that gets a second look and one that doesn't.
