Kids’ I Came for the Books, Stayed for the Cat Loose Drop-Shoulder T-Shirt

A tee that says what every reader and cat person is thinking. The front print shows a black cat with bright eyes on an open book, with stacks of vintage books and potted plants around it, under the arched line I Came for the Books, Stayed for the Cat. It's loose, soft cotton that's easy to wear to school, the library or anywhere else. They'll get compliments, and probably a few laughs.

We picked this one for the print. The art sits on the front: a black cat on an open book, stacked books and potted plants on both sides, a brass bell, and the words curved above and below.

The tee is 100% cotton and cut loose, with a ribbed crewneck and short sleeves, so it hangs easy and doesn't cling. It comes in Khaki or White. Wear it with jeans, joggers or shorts.

For the kid who always has a book in their bag and a cat on their lap. The design is cozy and a little chaotic, with books, plants and a very serious black cat, so it fits book lovers, plant lovers and cat people alike. It has a bookish, cottagecore feel and a good sense of humor. It's a fun gift for young readers, and the tee they'll ask for first.
