Dive into a blend of classic illustration and Russian wit with this unique t-shirt. The centerpiece is a beautifully rendered sad, grumpy cat’s head, presented in a vintage engraved style that evokes old-world charm, surrounded by intricate, swirling floral scrollwork. This melancholic feline sets the stage for a humorous take on a classic Russian proverb.

Below the cat, the bold golden Russian text “НЕ ВСЕ КОТУ МАСЛЕНИЦА” is prominently displayed. This translates to “Not all is Maslenitsa for the cat.” Maslenitsa is a joyous Russian folk holiday celebrating the end of winter, known for its rich blini (pancakes) and feasting. The proverb implies that good times and abundance don’t last forever, a sentiment perfectly underscored by the small, empty plate beneath the text. It’s a subtle, witty reminder that life has its ups and downs.

Rendered in a limited color palette of golden yellow and dark brown on a grey background, the design exudes a timeless, illustrative quality. This t-shirt is perfect for those who appreciate vintage aesthetics, dry humor, Russian culture, or simply a cat with a relatable outlook on life’s fleeting pleasures.
