January 21st, 2010 at 7:17 am
Fuzz Aldrin is my favorite!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:18 am
Oh hi!

=^.^=
January 21st, 2010 at 7:18 am
Maneki Neko is my favorite too!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:19 am
Oh my goodness. Those are incredible. I think the Fidel Catro one would have to be my choice because I could see my cat as a dictator and with a cigar hanging out of his mouth, if he had half a chance
January 21st, 2010 at 7:19 am
These are really great! I cannot decide between ‘Fidel Catro’and ‘Meowgi’! They are all hilarious!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:19 am
the KISS one is hilarious!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:20 am
I love them all. I think my fav. is the KISS kitties. Super cute!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:20 am
Oh boy! Nerdy stuff!! I LOVE IT! I would also love to be able to give my DH (nerd extraordinaire) the “That’s how I Roll D-12″ shirt in Dark Chocolate.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:20 am
Love the designs………what a great idea
I would like 1 of each
January 21st, 2010 at 7:20 am
Sweet designs! I like the Fuzz Aldrin the best, but the cat and birdcage and the turntable are also very cool.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:21 am
Wow! What a hard choice among such cool cat designs. I guess I’m most strongly drawn to the DJ Kitty and the lucky Chinese kitty. Funny to read about the “Sadie Fund” since my daughter’s name is Sadie
January 21st, 2010 at 7:21 am
Awesome designs!!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:21 am
I love the bag with the maneki neko print.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:21 am
For me it is a toss up between budda kitty and lucky cat. Both are great images and totally different style. I look forward to seeing more cool t-shirts!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:22 am
Super Fun T-shirts. Makes me think of warmer T-shirt weather!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:23 am
I need the Maneki Neko, I could definitely use some good kitty luck.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:24 am
I love Fuzz Aldrin. It would be so cute on my husband. But for myself, I’d do the lucky cat.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:24 am
SO hard to pick a favorite!! I think I would have to go with the DJ kitty though.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:24 am
These are FAB U LOUS! Love the Fuzz Aldrin one and the What Would Ceiling Cat Do?
So funny! Love them!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:24 am
Oh my God, I love them all! Really hard to choose, but I think I’ve got to have the KISS kittehs.

January 21st, 2010 at 7:27 am
Fab shirts! I can’t decide between Fuzz Aldrin and DJ Kitty, but I guess I’ll go with DJ Kitty. They’re all great, though! Nice job!!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:27 am

The pitate kitty definetly!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:28 am
Wow, these are amazing tee shirts! I really think I want them all. I think I am going to say that if I don’t win this, I am going to have to order Fuzz Aldrin or Mr. Meowgi.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:29 am
Yikes! Just looked at my rushed comment I’m meant PIRATE kitty.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:30 am
I love the Maneki Neko- the beckoning cat!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:30 am
So many choices – each one better than the other. However, my vote is for the “Kiss” shirt!

I love the buudha kitten as it looks like my cat! but the cat and the bird cage is really clever and stylish.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:31 am
I love them all… but, I think I would pick either Mr. Meowgi or Fuzz Aldrin. It’s a tough choice!!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:31 am
JUST THINK OF THE COMMITMENT TO YOUR FURRY BABIES BY WEARING THIS COOL KITTY WEAR!!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:33 am
These shirts are a riot!!!I love Old Kentucky Mash and What would ceiling cat do
January 21st, 2010 at 7:34 am
For sure, Lucky Cat, as he already rules my home.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:35 am

January 21st, 2010 at 7:37 am
