392 cat designs is enough that "cat shirt" stops being one category and starts being several. Some of these have nothing to do with liking cats generally — they are about a specific joke, a specific art style, or a specific relationship to the cat in question.
The band nobody asked for
There are enough cat-plus-instrument designs here to form an actual lineup: guitar, drums, piano and a cat DJ to open for them. None of these reference each other — they were clearly designed independently — but bought as a set they read as one joke rather than four.
Cat Dancing on Piano
Keys. Two takes on the same idea: a plain cat-at-the-piano scene and one built around the "mewsician" pun.

Cat Drummer
Drums, twice over — a straight drummer design and a pun version for whoever wants the joke spelled out.

Cat Drums
The heavy-metal end of the lineup, for the cat owner who wants attitude over cute.

DJ Cat
The opening act, not the closer — a cat behind turntables rather than an instrument.

Guitar Cat
Lead guitar. The rest of the lineup is percussion and keys, so this is the one melodic instrument in the band.

See detailsJapanese art, not Japanese cartoon
These borrow from ukiyo-e woodblock prints and samurai imagery rather than anime style, which puts them closer to a gallery print than a fandom shirt. Worth knowing before buying for someone who is particular about the difference.

Cats that left the atmosphere
A small cluster with no unifying joke beyond "cat, but cosmic" — moon backgrounds, a UFO abduction scene, and two designs that borrow physics vocabulary (string theory, Schrödinger-adjacent EKG lines) for people who think that's funnier than a paw print.

Cat dad, cat mom
The identity shirts, as distinct from the joke shirts. These say something about the buyer's relationship to a specific cat rather than cats as a topic, which makes them a safer pick for a gift — there is no artwork to get wrong, just the two words.

Everything else
The rest of the collection: sarcastic one-liners, Halloween and Christmas cats, and designs where the cat is incidental to a wider scene (surfing, hockey, flowers). No pattern beyond "someone thought this was funny," which is true of most cat merchandise.
