Department of Strict Necessary Expenses
CatAudit
Every receipt enters. Very few ever leave approved.
The Examiner
Cat Audit arrives before the receipt cools. He adjusts his glasses, squares the paper, and asks whether the purchase improves dinner, shelter, or access to a warm window. Cat food passes. Cardboard boxes pass with unusual speed. Everything else receives a long yellow stare, one silent calculation, and the red stamp already waiting in his paw.
Permitted Conduct
Necessary Living
Dinner, boxes, and a sunlit sill clear review without further questions.
Questionable Spending
Novelty mugs, premium cords, and decorative gadgets meet the stamp immediately.
Approval Path
- Receipt Arrives Place every purchase face-up beneath the glasses.
- Whisker Review The total is checked against immediate feline benefit.
- Need Test Food, shelter, warmth, or an obvious box must result.
- Silent Judgment A fixed stare identifies unnecessary confidence in the buyer.
- Final Mark Approval is rare; rejection lands with satisfying authority.
- Office Code $CATAUD tracks every questionable expense submitted for review.
Standing Rule
If it cannot be eaten, slept in, or warmed by, explain yourself.
Bring the receipt. Accept the verdict.
