My cat says…

This one’s called “My Cat Says…” — and let’s be honest, it’s kind of iconic. It’s cheeky, it’s sharp, and it’s got just enough purr to go with the bite. The phrase on the shirt — “My cat says ur a slut” — lands with a little more bite than most, and that’s the point. It’s the clash between elegance and filth that makes it sing.

This was actually a spicier rework of an older design I did that said “My Cats Tell Stories”, which was sweet and strange in its own right. But this version? This was the pivot — the moment I realized I wanted to start making shirts that felt like my voice, my humor, and my weird little corner of the world. It was the first time I said: yeah, I can sell these. I shouldsell these.

I’ve got two cats (spoiled brats, really), and if you’ve ever owned a cat, you know this shirt doesn’t even feel that far off. Cats have attitude. And if they could talk? You know damn well they’d be saying stuff like this — while licking their paw and judging your outfit.

I kept the design minimal on purpose — just a soft outline of a cat’s head, simple whiskers, and that buttoned-up serif font to give it a false sense of civility. That contrast is what I love most about it: you think it’s going to be sweet, and then — bam — you get roasted by a house pet.

This is one of my personal favorites, not just for the message, but for what it started. This shirt is the reason the rest of my collection exists. It’s my day-one, my origin story, and still one of the most fun to wear out. Because if you get it, you get it.
