A word on inspiration: I recently found Winston sitting like this. I thought, "Hm, he looks like a snail. He should be a snail for Halloween." And so, my boyfriend made it happen:
He looks as happy as a snail should be, right? Here's a little bit of footage of him being the reluctant Animorph:
Unfortunately, Rudy's costume did not pan out. I wanted him to complement Winston and be a slug. I thought that would require just dropping him in pantyhose (a la Winston as the Dune sandworm), but since I don't know anything about anything, I bought knee-highs. Delighted as Rudy was at the prospect of wearing women's sheer garments, they just weren't big enough and so: fail. He's so sensitive that it's probably better that we didn't subject him to the nylon binding, but...
...I did get the feeling that he didn't like being left out. Oh well. There's always next year.
Oh, and if you want to see Winston Halloween costumes of the past:
2006 - Winston the Rice Krispie treat
2007 - Winston the sandworm
2008 - Winston as E.T. as a lady (my personal favorite)
2009 - Winston as Gloworm
It is a cute cat!! I wanna rear this in my home.

My burning question: how many hairballs did he leave on your pillow that evening? Oh how he hated being in that costume!

The fact that Winston has not tried to kill you in your sleep is a Halloween miracle.

They could sell products at a lower lower cost, offer products that can replace more expensive ones, offer services to disadvantaged companies, help organizations save money, or are just essential to business. Identify these companies before you competition and you have an opportunity to grow your business.

You should know that the second picture of Snail Winston is now my desktop background. And I'm not obsessed at all.

I call the pose in the second photo the "meatloaf." My cat ALWAYS sits like this and so we call it "meatloafin'" but you're right: he does look like a snail too!

I just don’t see how the right solution can be so tightly disciplined to a dollar figure. By all means, recognize that a problem has a cost attached to it, and therefore the solution must be limited by that financial context.
