Description: Audrey Hepburn says, "If you're looking for a dog or a cat, there are plenty of fantastic pets available at your local shelter. Don't buy... adopt!" Also, even though this is called "Hepcat," the ears Ms. Hepburn is sporting actually belong to one of our rescue Chihuahuas. Did I mention we have 10 dogs, all rescues? And did I mention we run our own dog rescue? This is the part where you think we're awesome and decide to buy a shirt. Thanks!
Description: Cool Cat is a 1967 Looney Tunes cartoon character created by Alex Lovy and voiced by Larry Storch. A laid-back Bengal tiger with a green beret and scarf, Cool Cat embodied 1960s youth culture—speaking beatnik slang, strumming a guitar, and cruising in a dune buggy. He starred in six shorts and made cameo appearances across Warner Bros. productions, becoming a quirky symbol of the era’s counterculture.
Description: Cool Cat is a cartoon character created by director Alex Lovy as one of the first theatrical cartoons. Voiced by Larry Storch, his first appearance was in an eponymous short in 1967, but he would go on to star in six of his own flicks as well as showing up in other shows and movies from the studio. Cool Cat is a hip Bengal tiger who wore a stylish green beret and scarf. Unlike most other characters, Cool Cat was unapologetically a product of his time. He spoke in '60s-style beatnik slang and acted much like a stereotypical laid-back '60s teenager. He was often seen strumming a guitar or traveling cross-country in his dune buggy. One cartoon depicted him as an alumnus of "Disco Tech" playing football against "Hippie University."
Description: This vintage tattoo rockabilly cat design comes from a real moment I had in Munich during Oktoberfest in the early ’90s. Someone eventually asked, “Are you from Dixie?” and that mix of German rockabilly slang and Southern identity stuck with me for decades. This artwork is my tribute to that night.
