She’s Steve’s namesake, or he is hers!
I still say that Flossy is human - he’s let the character slip a handful of times over the years.

This cat is clear a “cut & shut” job, made from two younger cats; you can see the join down the middle of its face.

[Is shocked at bas-relief-look etching on ceiling of lavatory. Who puts dark clouds above a lav? Scrub intensifies.] If I have to take my senior cat to medical appointments every week, sometimes twice, it better be revelatory.

Welcome to the conversation. I know I speak for all of us in offering our favourite geriatric feline congratulations on your Guiness* World Record.

Not to be a flea in the litter box, but Guiness is a novelty publishing company and not a records keeping or verification service. People often pay to get a record set, and the only oversight consists of people seeing falsehoods and complaining.

I was just poking fun at the typo in the headline. Is there actually a 1n Guiness publisher or are you talking about the 2n Guinness (the famous one)?
A quick google is maddening, turning up countless websites that seem to use both spellings randomly.
