A long time ago, people rode on horses in shirts that looked like these... hunting for, well, rats.
"Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?" is what Mercutio says. It's a kind of insult, and tied up with the nicknames Mercutio has been giving Tybalt: "King of Cats" and "Prince of Cats". But generally ratcatchers (exterminators specializing in rats) were not the most highly regarded people.
From a Popular Mechanics magazine published in August 1935 (Vol 64 number 2) "The White House has an official rat catcher in the person of F. N. Jervis, pest exterminator of the department of agriculture. The president in 1935 was Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The supposed history of the name involves rat catchers in London hundreds of years ago. These men bound their necks for protection from the vicious rats they were hunting. The neck wrap was pinned in place. How this shirt made its way into the equestrian community is a mystery
Tybalt 's nickname is 'Prince of Cats', so he is firstly referring to this. However, Mercutio also insults Tybalt's name, because it sounds like 'Tibbles'. Tibbles is a popular name for a cat (a rat-catcher.) He also calls him a cat in a derogatory term. Cat sounds remarkably like Cazzo in Italian. Romeo and Juliet is set in Italy. Cazzo means the male genitalia. its pronounced "CAT-so". <-(by adrienne) At the time Romeo And Juliet was written there was a popular story named ' reynard the fox' in which the cat was called 'Tibalt'. Mercutio uses this story to tease Tybalt with and continues to refer to Tybalt as a cat, therefore 'ratcatcher' <-(thesilenceRHIAN)
