Meanwhile, at H&R Black…

“… now, let’s see, if I carry over your doghouse amortization from the prior fiscal year to line 32-d, we can claim reasonable chewtoy wear and tear on form 2360-NOM, which should make you eligible for the one-time Razzaframitz credit under sub-section 12, paragraph 3, Jackson 5…”

Oh, just kill us now and be done with it.

    A kitteh with a calcutelator, how scary is that? Any color Kitteh, but for the superstish amongst us, wow!

    Chocolate Lab: “Aw, geeze. I can’t believe I waited until April 15 to get my taxes done. I’m just glad they could take me here at Evil-Looking Black Cat Accountants LLC.”
    Snoozing Beagle: “I got mine in back in February.”
    Cat: “This is going to cost you an arm and a leg, sucker!”

  3. Katrina says:

    Beware the Ides of April!

    AHAHA!!! A perfect one for tax day. I love the hover text. xP

    BEAGLE AND LAB! My two favoritest kinds of puppehs in one picture! NOMTOM, you have taken the sting out of Wednesday morning.

    Also, *forehead smack* why did I never think of having the cat do my taxes? Little bugger ought to be doing SOMETHING around the house to earn her keep. If I can’t claim her as a dependent I ought to be able to get SOME use out of her!

  6. hon glad says:

    Sorry boys, I’ve got the remote and you are not watching lassie again.

  7. EZReader says:

    NTMTOM – cannot help saying yet again – you are a genius at writing just the right captions/stories. Love cats and dogs and other creatures. Thank you so much.

    April is the cruelest month . . .

  9. Kristabelle says:

    How did I miss the Razzaframitz credit on my taxes????? Dang!!!!

  10. Theresa says:

    “Did you hear about the constipated accountant? He worked it out with a pencil.”

    Jackson 5! yer too silly:-) The pup should have gotten Turbo-Catz on line so as not to have to deal with the evil one with the calc…

    :lol: I just noticed the url for this post! http://cuteoverload.com/2009/04/15/deep-in-the-heart-of-taxes/

    Unfortunately, I now have an earworm. *shakes head vigorously* I keep hearing disembodied clapping.

  13. If Mister Kitteh-Accountant had been handling things, we might not have had the recent huge financial crisis, because Kitteh looks about as knowledgeable as any of the CEOs in the media photos; if he would be wearing a necktie, he’d look just about perfect!! :roll:
    The expressions of the goggies are priceless: one is sleeping; the other one looks worried: a pretty accurate depiction of the average taxpayer today….. :lol:

  14. chanpon says:

    Figures the cat is busy working away, while the doggies just sleep or relax on tax day! If only pets were deductible.

  15. skippymom says:

    That is one eeeevilll-looking kitty. Glad I don’t need his help–got mine done early and have already received my refunds. (smug grin)
    If this world were run properly, we would most definitely be able to claim our pets as dependents. Hmm, maybe we should put a petition together and send it to Mr. Obama. Now that he has a dog, he might be sympathetic.

    a citizen of procrasti- NATION,
    I waited ’til last night,
    Next time I’ll go to H&R Black,
    and see that aloof black cat,

    APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
    Lilacs out of the dead land,
    but once in awhile the news is good
    I thought I had to pay & pay,
    but I got money back!

  17. skippymom says:

    Nicely done, catloveschanel!

  18. LOL’ing at all your comments!!

    I agree, black kitteh does look like he’s the goods but I bet he takes his pound of flesh!!

  19. cath says:

    The lab’s looking a little anxious. Possibly because he’s counting on a big refund to pay off some bills, and he’s realizing he’s not gonna get one. Poor baby needs a bailout, and a cuddle.

    @Theresa — snerk! Ewww!

  20. Nancy says:

    thanks brinnann!!!

    Now I have to reopen all the comments again and look at all the url’s. I’ll never get anything done today!

    Wow, now we have a new place to look for C.O. cleverness — in the url!

    WHY I LOVE THIS POST
    By Berthaservant

    Today is tax day.

    Today is also Bertha’s birthday (b. 1996).

    Bertha is a black cat.

  22. charliewabba says:

    Good news: you’re getting a refund.
    Bad news: It’s all mine.

  23. hyura says:

    wow. that cat is all business. and those dogs look rightfully stressed.

  24. Bwahahaha. “sub-section 12, paragraph 3, Jackson 5…” Love it.

  25. mom2twinzz says:

    Happy Kitty Birthday Bertha! May you have a little mousie (catnip kind) and bliss out.

  26. Cambridge Rat Mom says:

    Yup, that’s who did *my* taxes this year!

  27. Katrina says:

    Happy Berthaday!

  28. Mary (the first) says:

    Funny “tax form” I saw years ago .. line 1: How much money did you make last year? line 2: “Send it in!” That’s about how I feel today. I should have had the black cat do my taxes and avoided the headache. btw love how the puppeh is trying to get under the rug.. trying to hide from the tax collecter, perhaps??

  29. brinnann says:

    Awwww, Nancy. Why’d ya hafta go and say that? Now I’ll hafta go back through them all, too!

  30. froggiefreak says:

    my cat thinks he is a dog drinks out of the toilet showrs walks on a leash even gives you hugs

  31. claudemarie says:

    MY black cat Maddy nagged at me last month to get my taxes done. So I did. You don’t mess with those eyes.

  32. duck au vin says:

    Happy Birthday Bertha! Many happy returns!
    >0O*

  33. T.U.M. says:

    @froggiefreak

    Maybe you think your dog is a cat! ;-)

  36. trishfish says:

    can anyone tell me: is that a Chesapeake bay retriever in the background?

  37. Alice Cullen says:

    lol. i love black cats, personally.

  38. brinnann says:

    Trishfish, my guess is a chocolate lab. Don’t Chessies have thicker, curly hair?

  39. trishfish says:

    the fur on the back looks pretty wavy, like my dog’s.
    i don’t know, it’s more likely to be a chocolate lab
