What we bought this month instead of a clothes dryer

This is a portrait of our cat, Archie. Isn’t he cute?
And as you can see, his insides seem to be in perfect operational condition, which you wouldn’t know by all the vomiting he has been doing all over the house the last few days, just to annoy us apparently.
It’s not often that you get to see cat poop actually being FORMED (upper right), is it? Well, now you have seen it for your own eyes, live right here on Almostgotit.com.
The real reason I am blogging about this $300 picture? Because maybe now I can convince the IRS that it was a business expense.

Kindly pay no notice to the little bulge of flub in the belly area, there. Archie is very sensitive about it.

Goodness. I thought that was a human slide when I first glanced it. Glad he’s gonna be okay. Reminds me of when our stray Babette showed up at the door (possibly pregnant) and the vet took an x-ray to confirm… four beautiful little cat skulls and spines the length of a cat tail. That was a lovely picture. Oh, yeah… and there was that whole thing about the cat poop being FORMED too.

Oh dear, don’t pets always decide a visit to the vets in order when cash flow is at its worst? And cats are the worst – never really anything wrong with them that some food and antiseptic cream can’t fix, but they just lurve the attention.

Anything’s a business expense if you write it out properly …

I’m glad he’ll be okay, but it sure is an awesome photo. Hmmm, I’m wondering if you could do anything artistic with it?!

@Jana: pregnant cat xray- now THAT one would be fun to see!
@Mrs. Dirty Boots: embarrassed, as you probably don’t own a clothes dryer. I don’t need one as much as I’d LIKE one, and perhaps my neighbors are tired of seeing our undies flapping in the wind, though I *DO* generally hide them behind sheets. Americans tend to have a bit of a complex about public laundry airing (& have I yet confessed to you that I stole your name for my neighborhood garden club?)
@Dennis: Tell me more. S.A.S.E. enclosed.
@Mini B: I’m intrigues, and happy to share photos with you any time you like for your artistic endeavors…

You don’t have to do anything artistic with it: It’s art already!
If it makes you feel better, in Italy dryers don’t exist. Pretend to be italian if the neighbors complain about the undies.

What sort of business incorporates cats? Cat breeding? Cat herding? Copy-catting?
