It's a kitchen implement in need of a serious scrubbing and it is used to precisely slice a blooming onion.

It's for beating the dust out of throw rugs.

By gosh, everyone has already posted my thoughts. QUESTION? How do I find the real answer once the contest is over. Neatorama please advise.

It's a horse hoof pick.

It's a tree root extractor.

In a bewilder tone Charlotte proclaimed, "Oh Wilbur! Now you've really found yourself in the drink".

It's a spike for smashing garden gnomes.

It's the since banned, old age version of a Flow-Bee. OUCH!! but hair be gone.

Believe it or not, it's a super jumbo arrowhead used to decommission Decepticons.

It looks like a keg tap.

Has anyone seen my kitty cat?

Job well done!

Sick! I'm sure the cat didn't ask for the tattoo. I'm also pretty sure the animal rights activists in the States would have a "hairy" with such a story. I'm not a cat person, but I don't think it is right. As for cropping dogs tails, cropping ears, dehorning goats, etc., these animals are meant to endure the practice as that is what distinguishes the breed of the animal. Adorning an animal with tattoos or piercings for personal pleasure or social status is just plain ol whacked!

Look what we found on the roadside after dropping Mom off at work.
