Accounting for the Human, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. I suppose I should explain my inexcusable absence of late. It's simple, really. It's all Debbi's fault. First it was the yard sale, which was less than a spectacular success to say the least. Then it was the new busi

Of omens and superstitions

I Have Been Caught Red-Pawed, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. Well, the jig is up. No more such-a-good-kitty-for-coming-when-called. Although, in my defense, I did come when she showed up in the backyard looking for me. It's not my fault she was paying more attention to the jonqui

Humans Are So Gullible, by Guiness the Cat

Cat Got Your Tongue - Writing Prompt

Republicans Say the Stupidest Things Part 1: Louie Gohmert, "Asshole of the Day"
