These are so cute/edgy classy yet ROCK ‘N ROLL! Just like all 4 of my fur babies! I Love them!
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:38 am
I like the lucky cat or the silhouette the best. Put it on a messenger bag and we’re set! All of the designs are fantastic, though…
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:40 am
OMG The kitty turntablist shirt is to die for. Even if I don’t win, I’m totally buying that. Ugh. So cute.

I particularly like Maneki Neko. I have a little sculpture sitting on my desk, smiling at me.
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:06 am
Fuzz Aldrin is too. cute.
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:19 am
Wow, these are awesome! The selection and designs on their site seriously blow all the other t-shirt websites away. DJ Kitteh FTW!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:36 am
The designs are great! My favorite include the cat watching the bird, and the one with 4 cats that have different facial markings.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Thanks for the giveaway.
I would choose Maneki Neko T-Shirt, ladies XL
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:34 pm

January 22nd, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Thanks so much for being dedicated to rescue. It is admirable that you give back. Having said that your merchandise is awesome!!!! I love Fuzz Aldrin – Cheers!

I love the Buddha cat, but they are all great! Skittles is our Buddha kitty. Rub her belly, which is often on display…and you will be lucky (to get away without any scratches or teeth marks)
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:45 pm
I like all those shirts! Mommy sure could use a new hoodie! Hope they are made in the USA! The Catstro one is funny but makes me think of how Castro treated people with Aids which isn’t funny. Buddha kitty may be our fave! Boy, mommy could think of a lot of funny shirt ideas for you, give her a job, maybe?
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I LOVE the birdcage!
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:00 pm
I really like the Budda Kitty one!
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:51 pm
lol these are great! I think I like the cat looking at the birdcage best. It’s nice and subtle and decidedly cat-like
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:56 pm
DJing kitten would be my favorite, all are cute though!
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Those are such cute T shirts. We would love to win one for our Mom. Good luck to everyone.
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:10 pm
I love the tee shirt that asks “What would ceiling cat do?” These are great tee shirts–very unusual.
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:32 pm
These designs are PURRFECT! Very talented.
January 22nd, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Fuzz Aldrin is perfect for want-a-be astronauts who also love cats. I know, my husbands’s cat is named Yeager, after fly-boy Chuck. He would love that design.
January 22nd, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I think that the Kiss Kitty design is really cute. I like how they all have make-up on. I would love it and so would my cat! meow!
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:05 pm
I like the KISS one personally.
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:08 pm
I would please like a hooded sweatshirt with the graphic of the cat looking at the birdcage.
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:21 pm
Love the budda cat!!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:22 pm

January 22nd, 2010 at 4:25 pm
My favorite is the KISS kitty shirt! It’s absolutely adorable.
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:29 pm
I truly love all of them, but I dig the Kiss cat sweat shirt!
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Love them ALL but Buddah Kitty is my favorite!
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm
What a wonderful contest! But with so much to choose from…I’d have to go with the Maneki Neko! One can never have too many lucky cats (and 300+ is in no way too many…) >^-^<
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I love the Kitty with the birdcage, ladies tee.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:05 pm

January 22nd, 2010 at 5:41 pm
Wow I cvould really use some new cat t’s. I can’t decide which one is my fav. It’s a toss up betwwen the Kiss cats and the buddah belly cat!Really I like them all!
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:11 pm
Ex-boyfriend sounds like a great company! Keep up the good work. All the tees are cute, but I think my favorite is the cat looking at the birdcage. I wonder what will happen next…
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:12 pm
love the dj kitty t shirt!
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:25 pm
I LOVE the cat and the birdcage. Reminds me of a time many years ago in college when that image could have come from my house.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:31 pm
OMG! I really love the one with the four different faces. If I’m correct, I think that they are copying KISS which is one of my favorite bands. I would love to win that design on a black or red t-shirt, ladies, size medium. I do however love all of the designs. They are fabulous!
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:07 pm
I LOVE the Kiss kitty shirt!!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Definitely the “i want you to cuddle me” tee. or the “saint catrick’s day” one… can’t really decide!
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Lucky cat is sooooo awesome!!That’s my pick!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:52 pm
All of the designs are fantastic. I like the Buddha kitty the best because I like to give kitties belly rubs!
January 22nd, 2010 at 8:36 pm
It was a hard choice, but I think that the Maneki Neko T-Shirt is the one I’d go with!
January 22nd, 2010 at 8:56 pm
My husband and I love the rub my belly shirt. It is so cute.
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:04 pm
I absolutely LOVE “I’m big in Scotland” and the pirate kitty designs.
