Mr. Sunshine’s Big Plan

Mr. Sunshine's big plan

Things don’t always turn out according to Mr. Sunshine’s plan, but then, I’m not entirely convinced he plans things.

When he gets an idea, he’s ready to roll, like today when he thought he’d stick his nose in this little basket just to see if there was anything in it that might be good to chew on. He didn’t anticipate the handle which slipped neatly over his head as he tilted the basket in his enthusiastic inspection, and then he was stuck with it.

He is a little accident prone—whenever he jumps onto something I know something will be knocked down and he tends to run into a scene at just the wrong moment, like when I’m carefully trimming a claw which is suddenly pulled from my hand by the kitty who has to go and chase Mr. Sunshine. He also tends to eat strange things and chews on plastic, like tape and plastic bags, and he’s gotten himself in a little mess with the emergency veterinarians that way. But he’s a happy kitty, playing with every toy and running just because it’s fun, and he’s a great breakdancer whenever the inspiration strikes him, which is once or twice a day.

He also thinks he’s my greatest protector, turning sideways against my shins as he stands on my feet, which I’m sure would intimidate any intruder.

He has his brothers and sister to keep him in line.

  • MOL, that is the cutest ever. What a silly cat and what a fun cat. He doesn’t look the least bit concerned about having a basket around his neck. I did have a good laugh over this picture. That will make a wonderful painting. Wish I had the money, I would get it for myself. Gald you had the camera all ready.

    • He sure looks cute, doesn’t he? Don’t try to tell him that, at least not if you’re Giuspeppe! Right now Sunshine won’t be dissuaded from stepping on my keyboard on his way to my lap, thinking there is no other path to get there. No, I think he doesn’t plan.
