Sarcastic Tabby Cat Christmas Shirt Bah Humbug Fallen Tree

Bah Humbug, Muttered From the Top of a Toppled Tree

The tree is on its side, a bent star still clinging to one end, and the tabby perched on top has crossed its paws and narrowed its eyes at whoever just walked in. A string of lights is wound around its middle. One ornament dangles from an ear. It is unimpressed. Over the scene, BAH sits in jagged, cracked lettering, and HUMBUG! below it is cut in heavy blocks that look split down the middle, as if the word itself came down with the tree. The cat clearly has an opinion about December, and it is in no hurry to soften it.

Our Sarcastic Tabby Cat Christmas Shirt is made for the person who loves the season in a quieter, drier way. Maybe you are the one who spends an evening restringing the lights while the cat watches from the couch with total calm. Maybe your own tabby has already brought a tree down once and walked off without a trace of guilt. This one says what you were thinking at that exact moment, and it says it with a perfectly flat stare. It also makes a good match for the relative who asks every year if you are excited yet.

A Sarcastic Tabby Cat Christmas Shirt, Tangled in Its Own Lights

The mess around the cat rewards a slow read. Candy canes are scattered across the branches, a sprig of holly sits near one shoulder, and beaded garland and tinsel wrap the tree in loose spirals. Small ornaments have rolled free, and a clay pot has slipped out from under the trunk with the cord’s plug still trailing behind it. Starbursts mark the spot where it all went over, which tells you how the afternoon went. The illustration, drawn in-house at Podluna, gives each of those pieces its own corner of the scene, so nothing crowds the frown at the center. Wear it to the tree lighting, or on the morning the family gathers around whatever tree is still standing.

Who Should Wear a Cat Who Brought Down the Christmas Tree?

Anyone with a cat that has toppled a tree will recognize this tabby right away, and so will anyone who meets holiday cheer with a raised eyebrow. The grumpy cat and the bold BAH HUMBUG! lettering suit a gift exchange with relatives or a quiet night at home with the lights low, anywhere a little dry humor is welcome.

Somewhere among the fallen ornaments, that tabby is still waiting for the next person to ask whether you have caught the holiday spirit.
