What Is It? game 274

It's time for the latest edition of our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what this thing is? Or can you make up something silly?

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many guesses as you'd like in separate comments. Pease do not post URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will win T-shirt from the NeatoShop.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

See more mystery item at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update: the pictured object is a chain weight that was used for training a gaited horse. Craig Clayton was the first with that answer, and so wins a t-shirt front he NeatoShop! The funniest answer came from ColShorts, who took a complete left turn from what everyone else was thinking and said, "What snakes wear when the roads are icy." That's good for a t-shirt from the NeatoShop, too! Thanks to everyone who played along this week. See the answers to all this week's mystery items at the What Is It? blog.

The perfect necklace for husbands who have a knack for looking at other women besides their wives. Gotta keep their neck in line.

It's a Happy Master™ Wet Dog Collar for apartment dwelling dogs. Worn at bath time it keeps the dog from shaking all the water onto the chagrined owner before they can reach for the towel

Earbox,

I found one library dog in the research I did for my film about library cats ("Puss in Books: Adventures of the Library Cat"). It was a very large dog that came to work each day at the library in Norfolk, CT in the 1990's.

My town has an awesome little independent record store that feels like an old bookstore inside (crammed shelves, handwritten signs, people sitting on the floor going through boxes), and they used to have a "record store cat" who was always there, sleeping on top of the CDs. You'd have to nudge him aside if he was on the section you wanted to look at.

When I was in Naples once, there was a cat sleeping on a blanket atop some furniture in front of an antique store. He must have been the antique store cat.

I just finished reading "Dewey: The small-town library cat who changed the world" and found it a quick and charming read. You can find information and pictures of Dewey on the Spencer Library website at spencerlibrary.com/deweybio.htm.

Getting caught up on posts, obviously I'm way behind. Library school is keeping me from my feed reader. John, did you go to library school at Kent?? I just started there in January. :)

I just finished reading "Dewey, the Library Cat" and loved every word. I could barely see the words on the last few pages due to my tears. I have had a number of cats over the past many years. One looked a lot like Dewey and was ill at the end of her 19 years; I cried on the vet's shoulder when he had to end her suffering.

Many thanks to you,Vicki, for writing this wonderful book.

Hey, does anyone know where I could possibly find a copy of the Puss in Books: Adventures of the Library Cat documentary? My daughter loves Dewey, and would love to see it...

I have just finished "Dewey: The small-town library cat who changed the world", too. It is a hauntingly wonderful book, though inevitably very sad at the end. As well as being the story of a remarkable cat, it is an interesting case study of a public library and its role within the community.

The library cats map is at http://www.ironfrog.com/catsmap.html. I cannot tell how recently it has been updated.
