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

Sharing Some Springtime, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. We've had a lot of beautiful spring days here in between the rainy ones, and Debbi and I have been busy with a lot of photo shoots. It's exhausting work being such a celebrity. I posed for a lot of good shots, but I've spen

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

Someone Please Explain to Me Why Deer Need a Salad Fork, by Guiness the Cat

Humans Are So Gullible, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat with the latest lame-brained thing my human did. She started out the day spending hours cleaning house. I don't know why. She's just going to get it dirty again. I kept telling her there were more important things to life.

That Was One Big Bird, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Investigative Reporter reporting on the phenomenon in my driveway. That's not paint, people. We are talking a lot of bird poop here. Isn't there some kind of law about pooping on the pavement? A county ordinance at least? Defa

What Happened to the Sun? by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat, and I'm a bit perplexed. After shining so brilliantly all weekend, the sun did not show up for work today. It was a nice, mild day … pretty much just right with the exception of the sun's conspicuous absence.

It's a Purrfect Caturday! by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. It's a purrfect Caturday in the spring, and it's all about me! Yes, I know I was just saying it was winter, and then it was summer, and then it was winter, and now it's spring. All in one week. It's Georgia. Get o

Rain, Rain, Go Away, by Guiness the Cat

I am NOT Something Else, by Guiness the Cat

Monday Musings, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat with a few random thoughts. In other words, I had some comments to make, but none of them added up to 500 characters by themselves. I've had a rather boring weekend. First, Debbi spent most of the day Friday and Saturday ho

It Was An Insult to my Fluffiness, by Guiness the Cat
It is me, Guiness the Cat. In case you didn't recognize me from the photos. I didn't pick the photos, by the way. And I did not approve them. That is one downside of not having the patience to upload photos myself, and assigning that chore

The Poop on the Words I Had with Debbi, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, it's me, Guiness the Cat. Debbi and I exchanged some words last night. She started it. She was the one who brought it up. "We need to have a discussion about toilet paper," she said. Personally, I don't see any point in wasting money on toilet p

My Opinion of the Wendy's Ciabatta Bacon Cheeseburger, by Guiness the Cat
Debbi posted what she thought about the Wendy's Ciabatta Bacon Cheeseburger she brought home for us to eat on Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd give my thoughts about it, too. You can read her review here, if you really care what she thinks. Cheese, brea

Boxing Day: My New Favorite Holiday, by Guiness the Cat

It's Beginning to Smell a Lot Like Christmas, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, it is me, Guiness the Cat, popping in between naps to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and to remind you that I like tuna juice, cheese, treats, lunch meat, cardboard boxes, and bags of just about any sort. Gift bags, tote bags, suitcases, backp

It's Hard to Get a Paw in Edgewise, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, it is me (finally!), Guiness the Cat. I have not hardly been able to get a paw in edgewise recently. Debbi has been hogging the computer ever since her trip to Chattanooga on Monday, to the exclusion of everything else. Honestly. Resizing and editin

I Think I Need to Adjust My Insulin, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, it is me, Guiness the Cat. As many of you know, I have feline diabetes, and I take two shots of insulin a day. In case you haven't heard, I'm an exceptionally good shot taker. I come at shot time and purr through it and everything. When I was first

My Latest Box, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat, and I just wanted to show you the latest box Debbi brought home just for me. She was even considerate enough to stuff it full of clothes that she is packing away to try to sell at a yard sale in the spring. They make such wo

Exercising Futility, by Guiness the Cat

I Didn't Feel Good This Morning, by Guiness the Cat
This is Guiness the Cat. I woke up feeling rather poorly this morning. I think I've got a hairball that just doesn't want to come up. At least that's what I told Debbi, because when I refuse to eat, it freaks her out. A little puke is one thing, because I

An Update on Debbi the Dental Drama Queen, by Guiness the Cat
This is Guiness the Cat. I just wanted to let you know that Debbi is back from the endodontist with all the teeth she left home with, but not nearly as much money. The dentist made a small incision in her gum to scrape out all the infection around her abs

Leaves for Sale, A Dime a Dozen, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, it's me, Guiness the Cat here with an amazing deal. Since Debbi has so many dental appointments coming up, I'd thought I'd help her out with a little fundraising toward the bills. I'm perfectly bored with all the cat food in the house, so as soon as

On Cats, Cat Hair, and Furniture, An Open Letter to Lovey by Guiness the Cat
Dear Lovey the Cat, I can totally identify with your post My Lovely Cat Hair. It is so unfair of your mom to say you can't sit on the couch just because of your lovely cat hair. I feel your pain. I am not allowed on the living room furniture, either, unl

In Debt Yet Again, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat, and once again I have had to go into debt to buy cat food. It's not that I haven't earned the money. I have. It's that once again, my #redemption at that other site has not been paid on time. My last two redemptions were s

How I Was Diagnosed With Feline Diabetes, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. Today I'd like to tell you about when I found out I had #diabetes. Back on September 6, 2012, I woke up feeling quite puny with some kind of infection. I didn't even want to eat treats. Debbi promptly called the vet as soon

It's About Time Debbi Came Home, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. I'm quite sure you have missed me greatly, and have been wondering where I was. And the answer to that is nowhere. Absolutely nowhere. Nowhere at all. I have been right here. Apparently cats don't get vacations. That is a

Face South, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. First of all, let me say that Debbi is a very good shot giver. It doesn't hurt a bit when she gives me my insulin injections twice a day. In fact, most of the time I don't feel it at all. That's not the issue here. The iss

Where Did the Horsies Go? by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat, and I seem to be horseless at the moment. Back in the spring, two horsies moved into the back yard next door. Seriously. The back yard and a strip of the side yard. On about half an acre enclosed in an electric fence. All
