Anyone who watches Saturday Night Live regularly will know the ‘Laser Cats’ skit. While the t-shirt design probably has nothing to do with that, it is equally excellent in its [cat superpower way](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-studio-petbrick-65).

The t-shirt design by Ill Studio shows a galactic setting with a seemingly harmless looking kitty. However, the cat has [rainbow colored lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laserabc-laser-show-projector) (or what I decided are lasers) coming from its eyes.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Cat-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity to create more cat-inspired futuristic fashion items, such as jackets, hats, and leggings.
- **Futuristic Designs with Animals:** Possibility of incorporating animals in futuristic designs, such as holographic horses or robotic dogs.
- **Hilarious Animal-inspired Apparel:** Market potential for apparel featuring humorous animal designs, such as monkeys in space suits or penguins with jetpacks.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create unique and creative cat-inspired clothing items to target younger and more playful customer segments.
- **Design:** Market potential for designers to explore incorporating animals in futuristic designs and materials, possibly through 3D printing or augmented reality.
- **Online Retail:** E-commerce market opportunity for online retailers to target niche audiences interested in playful, humorous animal-inspired apparel outside of traditional retail stores.
