Take a deep breath, cats. It's all going to be okay.

cat oven? say it ain't so

Wowza. 

Submitter Bill took this photo while motorbiking in Bali (tough life, eh?).  Perplexing times ten, right?

Well, you 'Sceners always come through, and this odd instance was no exception.  A commenter, El Marco, explains, "Cat is an alternate spelling for tsat, or 'paint' in Indonesian. A cat or tsat oven is where they bake the paint finish onto your car. Think Earl Scheib with an Indonesian accent."

You see?  I've learned something today already.  And it's only 5:17pm.  Thanks, Your Scene!
