Done. Anyone got a name for the cat?

That's how this design started — with that open question on Instagram. No elaborate backstory, no prior concept. The cat showed up and needed a name. It still doesn't have a fixed one. That's also part of its personality.

Why the cat

Cats are the most honest animal there is. They don't fake affection they don't feel, they don't obey if they don't want to, they don't do anything that doesn't directly benefit them. That radical indifference is more interesting to me than any forced loyalty. The cat does what it wants, when it wants, and doesn't ask anyone's permission.

The design captures that attitude: fixed stare, posture of someone who's already decided you're not their problem. Not an aggressive cat, not a friendly cat — a cat that simply exists on its own terms. The kind of creature that writes its own mythology without needing anyone to name it.

From the cat to the Egyptian Cat

From the same universe came the Egyptian Cat sticker. If the shirt's cat has street attitude, the Egyptian Cat has deity attitude. In Ancient Egypt cats were sacred, representations of Bastet, goddess of protection and the home. The Egyptians understood before anyone that cats aren't pets — they're entities that allow you to live with them.

The Egyptian Cat stares straight at you, with the face of someone who's been worshipped for five thousand years and sees no reason for that to change. There's something of the art of that era in the design: clean lines, total frontality, geometry that doesn't apologize.

Sphynx cat — the breed that looks most like a museum Egyptian cat
The Sphynx: no fur, full attitude. The cat the Egyptians would have worshipped if they'd had social media.

“Anyone got a name for the cat. The question is still open.”
