We celebrate International Cat Day on 8 August to pay homage to the world’s favourite pet. While it’s important to point out that a lot of cats receive a degrading treatment in many a hostile environment, we mainly use the day to celebrate the one animal that’s closer to our hearts like no other. And maybe you didn’t know how our feline friends secretly rule the world or haven’t seen the cutest designs you could possibly print on your next favourite cat T-shirt…
Holy Cats
In ancient Egypt, cats were worshipped as holy animals. Although the cat cult has lost a bit of momentum since then, it’s probably fair to say that cats still receive their fair share of admiration and devotion. So let them run riot with your toilette paper and sleep on your laptop, it’s all part and parcel of their divine existence. And yes, funny cat T-shirts never go out of fashion!
Cat Music
The musical “Cats“ took the world by storm in the 1980s, and the show has given us unforgettable melodies like “Memory“ or “The Song of the Jellicles”. So keep the cats in the groove!
Cats in space
Some might say that the first ever animal in space was a dog. Sacrilege! Let us provide the ultimate proof that it was indeed the Nyan Cat who’s been travelling time and space for ages. And you just gotta love the tune…

Love Cats
A couple of decades ago, British new-wave band The Cure broke with their first Top 10 hit “Love Cats” – and who wouldn’t think of lovable fluff balls when listening to the song? From Simon’s Cat to Aristocats – our smoothly pawed friends receive a lot of love in popular culture as well. Deservedly so, we hasten to add.

Wild Cats
Wild cats rule the world, whether it’s the champion of the Savannah aka the Lion King, the tiger in Life of Pi or cougars preying on young bucks intend on breaking their horns. And those who are fair game just love expressing their readiness to pounce on T-shirts designed for the right occasion.

Kings of the Internet
When cute cats are captured with low-quality smartphones, aspects of image resolution or cinematic standards don’t matter. People happily share their homemade cat clips and images on Facebook and Pinterest, thousands of likes guaranteed. And quality cat designs are bound to wow everyone who lays eyes on them – so über-super cuuute!!
