The Housecats!

In effort to make us perform better at the bowling alley, our team decided to name ourselves The Housecats and create t-shirts for team unity. We arrived at The Housecats because we may appear fun, innocent and pleasant but, after time we may become finicky, territorial of our lane and feisty. Housecats can scratch; sometimes the scratch can be so bad that one needs a topical antibiotic to fight the infection. In the direst of situations, cat scratch disease can overwhelm one’s body. Lesson: don’t mess with The Housecats.

I put my craft skills to use and made t-shirts. At first we attempted to dress Desi, our housecat, in armor for a picture intended for the back of the t-shirt. As one can see, that did not end well. For whatever reason he did not enjoy the tin-foil hat and sword (not pictured) Clay fancied for him.


The end product...front


Fabric scraps are fused to the front for the cat face and an older picture of Desi in a box graces the back of the t-shirt along with our namesake. Go Housecats!
