Dad Worried Gift May Have Plunged Him Into Subculture

Me wearing the Butt Cat shirt.

For my birthday the Daughter gave me a green T-shirt with a picture of a cat with an ass crack.

I liked the design, it seemed humorous and playful, the cat having a serene look that signified all was okay in the world.

This week I was in the supermarket and a young couple, perhaps early 20s, complimented me on the shirt. They were so enraptured with it that I became nervous it signaled something I wasn't aware of.

"My teenage daughter gave me this," I said.

"Dude, I don't know you, but that shirt is you!" the man said.

I'm happy to receive the good will of the world, but if anybody has any input about the perceived deeper meaning of the Butt Cat, please let me know.
