What is the best cat t‑shirt for women in India?

The best cat t-shirt for women is a 100% cotton tee with a print you'd still wear if nobody got the joke, in a cut you already like. At ZOJO that's nine cat designs at Rs 699 each, on regular tees, crop tops and a baby tee, and the right one depends on whether you want a slogan, a quiet picture or a cropped fit.

Start with the fit, not the cat

It's easy to fall for a print and then never wear it because the cut is wrong. So pick the cut first. Our cat t-shirts come in three.

The regular women's tee is a classic crew fit in 100% cotton at 180 GSM. It sits close without clinging and it's the one to pick if you aren't sure. Six of the nine cats are on it.

The crop top ends above the waist. It's 100% combed cotton at 180 GSM, pre-shrunk, with no stretch, so take your usual size. Two cats are on it.

The baby tee is short and snug. It's 95% cotton and 5% spandex at 240 GSM, so it stretches and goes back into shape. One cat is on it. If you've never worn one, read what a baby tee is before you order.

All three run from XS to XXL.

If you want a slogan people will read

Four of the regular tees are jokes with a cat attached.

Accepting Fate has a small ginger kitten with both paws on its cheeks and the line ACCEPTING IT BECAUSE WTF ELSE CAN I DO. It's the one for Monday mornings.

Protect Your Peace is a ginger cat in a blue headscarf and sunglasses with a glass of red wine. The line reads PROTECT YOUR PEACE LIKE IT'S LIMITED EDITION.

Sexy Cat is a cream Persian cat with a red saree over one shoulder, under I AM SEXY AND I KNOW IT. The red tee matches the saree.

Pizza Cat is a black kitten holding a slice, with GIVE ME A BITE above and MEOWW below.

If you'd rather not wear a slogan

Two designs are pictures first.

Flower Cat is a black cat in a beret and a pale blue scarf holding white lilies. It's a square photo panel in the middle of the chest and there's no punchline.

How To Be A Rich Cat is a white cat in sunglasses and a pink cardigan reading a book. The only words on the tee are the book's title.

If you want it cropped

I Do Not Think is a crop top with two black cats at a rainy window. The line says "i do not think, therefore i do not am". It comes in black or white.

Party Cat is a crop top with a black cat in a pink robe, pearls and heart-shaped sunglasses, raising champagne. The script under it says Too Glam To Give A Damn.

Flying Cat is the baby tee. A black cat in a red cape flies across the chest with FLYING CAT above it and TO THE RESCUE below.

Every baby tee and crop top we make, cats or not, is on the baby tees and crop tops page.

What to check before you buy any cat tee

These apply to any store, not only ours.

1. Read the fabric line. It should say the fibre and the weight. 100% cotton at 180 GSM is a light everyday tee. A heavier number means a thicker tee.
2. Look at the print on a person, not only as artwork. You want to see how wide it is and where it sits on the chest.
3. Check the colours for that design. A dark cat needs a light tee and a pale cat needs a dark one. That's why Pizza Cat is on pink, yellow and lavender while Sexy Cat is on red, beige and black.
4. Read the return policy before you pay. Ours is 7 days from delivery for any reason, and a wrong size is swapped for free.
5. Add shipping to the price. Every ZOJO tee ships free in India, so Rs 699 is what you pay.

Buying one as a gift

Go by her humour, not yours. Slogans suit the friend who sends you memes. Flower Cat suits the one who doesn't wear text.

If you don't know her size, the regular tee is the safer cut, and the size exchange is free if you guess wrong. For Diwali, order by 30 Oct. There are more ideas at this price on the gifts under Rs 1,000 page.
