Guilty is the [[Cats|cat]] belonging to Mrs [[Tachyon]], the mysterious trolley-lady in [[Book:Johnny and the Bomb|Johnny and the Bomb]]. In appearance, he/she/it (nobody has dared look to check or considered the risk is worth it) is a white cat, with brown patches, and three-and-a-half legs. Guilty is first encountered in May 1941, as living proof of the reality of the [[Real Cat|Schrödinger's Cat]] theory, as a yellow-eyed demonic entity screaming out of the depths of the trolley to wreak vengeance on a hapless Army bomb disposal private. Deciding that he isn't paid nearly enough to defuse bombs of this terrifying sort, the EO soldier beats a very wise retreat, and ignores the fact that the ''real'' bomb has just started to tick. Either Guilty or Mrs Tachyon is aware enough to notice, however, and they beat a very hasty retreat of their own to the late 1990's. It isn't quick enough for Mrs Tachyon, who is injured by the blast and ends up in the local hospital. [[Johnny Maxwell]] takes care of the Trolley, and, by extension, of Guilty, who is a cat of firm views about catfood - ie, this happens to other cats. It is possible that Guilty is the extension, into [[Roundworld]]'s reality of space and time, of the universal phenomenon which is [[Greebo]]. He/she/it is very definitely a [[Real Cat]], accustomed to living on a diet of greasy fish and chips out of newspaper wrapping with, if anyone took the trouble to look, ''very'' odd dates on it...

Just as [[Foul Ole Ron]] has a thinking-brain dog ([[Gaspode]]), is it possible that Guilty, who at the very least acts as bodyguard to his/her/its source of greasy chips, is the thinking-brain cat to Mrs Tachyon?
