Those are, IMO, most definitely the same image, The highlights & pattern in the fur are frighteningly similar. You could buy one to make certain.
If your sure that it is your sho,t I'd send the seller a polite email asking them to remove it, as it's in violation of the cafepress Content Usage Policy guidelines: "Is it ok to use an image I found on the Internet? Simply because an image is found on the Internet does not mean that it is in the public domain or available for commercial use on merchandise. You should assume that you cannot use the work unless the author of the work has explicitly granted you a license to use the work or it is in the public domain. Further, a person who posts an image on the Internet and claims that you are free to use it may not have had the right to post the image in the first place. Thus, your use of the image may violate the rights of the actual copyright owner." .and "I based my artwork on the artwork of a third party, is that ok? It depends. Artwork derived from the previous work of another may violate the rights of the owner of the previous work. If you are creating a design that is based on the work of someone else, you may need to obtain permission from the original creator prior to creating your own work. You should consult with an attorney before using works based on the work of another through the CafePress Service." If that doesn't work alert Cafepress. And if that doesn't work, release the hounds, so to speak.
