Why this must be read:
As a summary of why Guy Gardner is a great and awesome and complex character, there's little better than this story. This is the story of Guy and his rather-worse-for-the-wear cat Stupidcat over the course of the last decade or so of Guy's history. As a story, its charms are much like Guy's himself: it's funny as hell and rather broadly slapstick, and then suddenly your lower lip is wibbling a bit and you're not sure if you're going to laugh or cry, but the laughing does win out.
He tries not to get too attached, but it's hopeless -- Stupidcat had his heart from the words "brain damage". It isn't so much that he has a fondness for damaged things, it's just that he can't help but feel a special kinship with something that no one wants because it's loud and violent and quite possibly insane.
I love stories that make me like characters I've never really noticed or liked before, and this story is one of the best at that I've ever seen.
