Soaking Wet Cat Card: Feelin' Under the Weather

Soaking Wet Cat Card shows a sopping white cat and the words Feelin' Under the Weather? printed in blue script, and the line says just what a drenched, grumpy cat looks like. It is a playful way to check in on someone who is sick or having a rough stretch. Anyone who has ever felt flattened by a cold will recognize the mood right away. It is made for the friend who needs a laugh more than a lecture.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

Behind the design

The photograph fills most of the card with a white cat sitting on the rim of a tub. Its long fur is clumped into wet strands, and its face wears a squint and a flat mouth that read as pure disapproval. The background is a soft, blurred tile wall, so the cat stands out clearly. Above the picture, the words Feelin' Under the Weather? run across the top in bold blue script with a plain question mark at the end. The lettering is playful and casual, which keeps the gloomy subject light. The image tells the story of a cat who has been bathed against its will and is not forgiving anyone for it. The wet look is the whole joke, and it sits right at the center of the card.

Who gets the joke

The first thing most people notice is the cat's sour expression, followed closely by the question printed above. Cat lovers tend to laugh hardest, since they have seen that exact face after a bath or a rainy walk. Anyone recovering from a cold, a flu or a minor procedure will also find the picture relatable. You can send this card to a coworker stuck at home with a bug, a sibling on the mend, or a friend who has been running on empty all week. It is a good fit when you want to say you are thinking of someone without a long note. The soggy cat says the sympathy and the joke in one glance.

Gift and choice

This card suits a sick day, a recovery visit or a note tucked into a care package with soup and tissues. It also works when someone is having a bad week and needs a reason to smile. Send it along with a favorite snack or a movie for a cozy night in. It is available as a greeting card in natural color, so it fits easily into a gift bag or a mailbox.
