Totally into that lucky cat–I have a similar figurine. These designs are truly unique!!
January 20th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
I liked the cat and bird one.
January 20th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
It was very hard to choose just one amazing design, but I loved the St. Catrick’s Day shirt. Being from Scranton, PA where we have one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day parades in the country that shirt would fit right in at this year’s parade!

Hello!
My favorite design is the kitty on the turn-table. Definitely rockin’.
January 20th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
I love the Maneki Neko design!
January 20th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
They all Rock! Great graphics!
January 20th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
I love the Kiss Cats!!! Actually I love them all!!!
January 20th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
OMG … as a designer, this is SUCH a hard choice with all of these EPIC designs! It’s a tie between the Orange Pirate and the Slammin’ DJ, but if you held a gun to my head, I’d have to choose …. BOTH! … no seriously, the pirate wins.
Nice stuff guys.
January 20th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
I like the Maneki Neko T-Shirt.
January 20th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
i am crazy about these shirts and will have to order AT LEAST fuzz aldrin if i don’t win this!! GREAT designs!
January 20th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
The cat with the bird cage reminds me of my Minki! She’s so polite, just waiting for the bird to come to her.
January 20th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
I dig the Pirate cat tee.
January 20th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
I really like the maneki neko print. Very cool site!
January 20th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
oh. my. goodness. these are all so great! i think my favorite is “cat vs. canary”. but i also LOVE “that’s what he said” and liz lemon’s doughnut…i want to go to there!
January 20th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Love lucky cat, but KISS is sneakily hilarious.
January 20th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
I love the lucky cat bag. But I love them all!
January 20th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
I love their designs! I’d like the “Cat Vs Canary T-Shirt” if I won… Though I could definitely see my husband wearing the “What Would Ceiling Cat Do T-Shirt”! Too funny
Thanks for the chance!

I love DJ kitty!
January 20th, 2010 at 11:47 pm

January 21st, 2010 at 12:01 am
Mr. Meowgi just made me laugh *right* out loud, so I’m going to have to go with that one. Hilarious!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:43 am
These designs are classy and cool! I love the birdcage and kitty one.
January 21st, 2010 at 12:45 am
I love them all, but the lucky cat one is my fave. Great designs and ideas!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:49 am
I like the pirate cat. I’d pick the KISS one too. Neat product.
January 21st, 2010 at 12:54 am
The bookbag idea is also as cool as the shirts and hoodies. I adore the Chinese lucky cat. I’d use the bag for work to carry files to and from meeting with clients.
January 21st, 2010 at 2:51 am
They’re all terrific, but I love the DJ!
January 21st, 2010 at 3:01 am

January 21st, 2010 at 7:15 am
They are all cute, but Fuzz Aldrin is too cute!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:15 am
I’m torn between the “buddha kitteh” and the DJ cat, but I’m going to have to say that “buddha kitteh” is my favorite design.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am
KISS cats rock!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am
Thanks for the laugh! My favorites are buddha kitteh and the pirate.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am
They’re all great, but I love the simplicity of the birdcage design. The DJ kitty is a close second though.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am
Fuzz Aldrin cracks me up.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am

January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am
oh my, the budha kitty asking to have the belly rubbed is sooooo my big fat cat Hank! I would love to have a t-shirt with that design! I also think the astronaut one is cool as well.
Pick me, please – i never win
January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am
I love the “Kiss” kitties…too cool
January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am
These are all awesome!
It’s a (very) tough choice but there has always been a special place in my heart for the Maneki Neko so I have to go with the one.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:16 am
Big Bad Baby Twinkle (who likes to listen to country singers — ladies only) sez “Meowmie likes the DJ Kitty shirt!!”
January 21st, 2010 at 7:17 am
FUZZ ALDRIN is my absolute fave!! It’s hilarious & I gotta have it!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:17 am
I like the cat and birdcage silhouette best, but fuzz aldrin is cool too.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:17 am
These are all so flippin CUTE! I hope I win
January 21st, 2010 at 7:17 am
