Cat Morning Call - Unisex t-shirt

Korean on the design: “집사야 해 떴어, 밥 줘.”
Pronunciation (simple): jip-sa-ya hae-tteo-ssuh, bap jwo
Literal sense: “Hey, butler, the sun is up—give me food.”

What “집사 (jipsa)” means:
In everyday Korean, 집사 means “butler.” Among cat lovers, it’s a playful, self-deprecating title for a cat owner—the human who pays the rent but ultimately serves a tiny furry boss. Calling yourself a cat butler captures that mix of devotion and mild resignation every cat parent understands.

Tone and nuance of the phrase:

“집사야” uses the vocative -야, like calling out “Hey, human!”—cute but assertive.

“해 떴어” is childlike and cheerful: “the sun has risen,” i.e., morning has officially started.

“밥 줘” is an imperative—short, blunt, and very cat: “feed me now.”

What the artwork captures:
The perspective is the classic cat-parent morning call: a whiskered face and an outstretched paw filling your entire field of view, with another feline supervising from the background. It’s affectionate and funny, but there’s a faint ache of duty—the no-days-off reality of being a cat butler. The humor lives in that role reversal: you’re the caretaker, yet you take orders.

Why it resonates with cat lovers (and even non-Korean speakers):

Universal inside joke: the unstoppable dawn feeding ritual.

The Hangul headline adds character; even without reading Korean, the emotion reads instantly.

For Koreans (and many K-culture fans), 집사 is a warm badge of identity—loving service with a wink.

Short product copy (English)
Start your day with the most honest alarm clock—your cat.
“집사야 해 떴어, 밥 줘” reads, “Hey, butler, the sun is up—feed me.” In Korean cat culture, 집사 (jipsa)—“butler”—is a tongue-in-cheek title for cat owners who happily serve their feline CEOs. This design captures that first-thing-you-see perspective: a paw to the lens, bright eyes demanding breakfast, and a second kitty auditing the process. Equal parts adorable and painfully true.
