His MajestyIn Memorium 12/22/07
I didn't go to the estate sale looking for a kitten but that's one of the things we came home with. Sunny actually lived next door to the sale but he and his siblings were outside on the porch and we just naturally gravitated there. Of course they needed homes we were told! As we sat on the steps playing with the kittens Sunny came up to me and promptly fell asleep on my lap. It was destiny. He is one of those great cats who knows his importance yet is generous in nature and allows his humans almost any liberty. His claws are quite sharp and used to protect his territory but never used on his people (except accidentally). He doesn't shred paper or books (unlike the other cat that lives here) so he is an ideal cat to have around. Plus he is a fairly decent vermin deterrent (the female calico was the best but she's no longer with us). Last summer he had a large abscess on one of his ears (he tends to get those protecting his turf) and he allowed us to squeeze, poke, prod and even cut it open to drain. No fuss from Sunny. He is one fine cat!

we can never really replace the special ones.
Thank you for your acknowledgment, j. One of Sunny's most endearing qualities was bumping heads. I'd bow my head to his and we'd bump our heads together. I never thought much about it (except that I loved it). Today, in remembering, it seemed like the bowing was a way of honoring each other and tapping our "God" spots.
