Could use a couple more cats on the “guns.”

#3 The cat actually is dead. It’s name was fatso and it was a lady.

Also, anyone who doesn’t get the above reference, look up “Three Wolf Moon” shirt on Amazon and read the customer reviews. Or better yet, read any news article describing the phenomenon since I believe the seller took down the legendary satirical review that started it all.

I want one of these for my niece, sadly they don’t have kids shirts.

@3: Actually, Keyboard Cat died long ago — as I hear it, the video was shot in the 1980s.

I can’t decide which guilty pleasure is better- watching Keyboard Cat videos or reading the hilarious thread of comments related to the death of Keyboard Cat. “Did he died?” “Did shade died?”
Please, tell me that there is some sort of redeeming intellectual, existential or cultural meaning here. It’s getting embarrassing.

Yeah, I second what anonymous @13 said, this hasn’t been printed yet, you have to sign up to vote for it. But when it DOES print, then it’ll be up for sale, and it might show up as a kids shirt, onesie, or a hoody.

Hey Dante8, write them. I’ll bet if you send them a small shirt, they’ll print it for you.

Before I bought this keyboard cat t-shirt, I was just another nerdy internet loser. After I got this shirt in the mail, I began to notice its true power. Instead of repulsing women as I walked by them on the street, it seemed I had some sort of animal magnetism. Whereas women were usually disgusted by my very sight before, now I cannot keep them away from me. I’ve had sex with a different supermodel every night for the past five months. I would definitely give this shirt a five star rating!

Just so that you know, this tee shirt hasnt been printed by threadless yet, they will only print it if it gets a high number of votes so you need to sign up and give it a 5 plus and I’ll buy.

If its printed theres a possibility it will be printed in kids tees.

It’s cat Kirk, cat McCoy, and cat Spock!

I’ll take this chance to plug the cat-related video I made for class: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPQ2LSxTV6M

Tacky, but I need the page views. It does have a brief mention of keyboard cat.

It looks like they’re sleepwalking- too good looking to be zombie cats.

This ‘net trend is one that is lost on me. I’m all for cat videos, but this “Keyboard Cat” one’s lost on me. I’m still wondering where the real funny is.

@Batu B
I agree. I run a music conservatory for cats, so I see cats playing musical instruments all the time. Maybe the joke is that the cat just isn’t playing well? Still not funny to me, as it’s a real insult to all the cats at my conservatory. They work their tails off, hoping to one day get a chair on the CSO (Cat Symphony Orchestra).

I think the keyboard cat in the foreground should be wearing a shirt of himself. Of himself.

LOL!

CJP,
It depends. In THIS reality, when the radionuclide fissioned, Keyboard Cat slumped over his keyboard, dead. In another reality, he is working on his Moonlight Sonata. There, there’s your redeeming intellectual meaning. Thank you, goodnight!

Don’t they usually reserve such artwork for someone who had died ?

Only thing that could make this more awesome is clock hands on the Moon.
