Use extreme caution ordering from this link. The account recommending it is sketchy.

The domain of the website itself was registered just over a year ago.

If you look at the descriptions and reviews they all are obviously fake.

The address on the contact us page is for a printing company, which suggests this site itself is likely dropshipping (this isn't inherently wrong).

You'll probably receive your order, but you're trusting your info to an a website that is sketchy at best, and isn't paying the original artist.

I guess I get why my account seems sketchy, I generally lurk and upvote only and this has been my first comment ^^;

I agree with the website probablybeing a dropshipping company, but it's the only place that the image shows up in a reverse image search other than this post.

I can't even find the source image anywhere, just similar versions with different cats and computers

Thanks for the well reasoned reply. Your original comment and no history reminded me of similar stuff on Reddit lol.

Your reply inspired me to try and find it as well.

I managed to find it in poster form, from what may possibly be the original artist: https://www.redbubble.com/i/canvas-print/Programmer-Cat-Beep-Boop-Coding-by-baramater/113977661.UZX4H

I also managed to find dozens of versions of it as tshirts using the search term "i are programmer beep boop cat* on Google images.

Closest I could find is this mug and of course it's on Etsy.
