The shirt reads: “I WANT YOU TO CUDDLE ME.”
Above it, a ginger cat in a star-spangled top hat, blue coat and red bow tie points directly out of the shirt in the recruitment-poster pose.
It is a conscription notice and the terms are non-negotiable. The cat is not asking and the poster format makes that clear.
It belongs to a set of animals issuing demands in this style. For cat households, where the arrangement described here is already in force.
