About

Sunny is a yellow longhaired tabby and his name is short for “Sunny Disposition”, “Sunny Outlook”, “Sunshine”. That pretty well explains him. However like the cat in the previous post, Sunny is a long-haired whose brain protein went to make fur instead.

I have seen this cat stalking birds at the bird bath many times however he only runs up to the bird bath after the birds have flown away. I really don’t think that he realizes the bird is no longer there. Or maybe he is like Garfield and is only chasing the birds to let us know he is on the ball and doing his job but like Garfield with the mice, they are really his friends and he doesn’t want to harm them. No, he is not smart enough to think that through. We have a cat door and shoved this cat through it many times but he still did not get it. It took him 6 months before he figured it out.

Sunny may be dingy but unlike the cat in the previous post as he is not a scaredy-cat. He is too dumb to be scared. His incapacity to be afraid has actually served him well. When one of our other cats decides to make him the object of her attack and she springs on him, Sunny either doesn’t notice and she has to embarrassingly turn and slink away or he just looks at her like “what, what’s going on”. Whenever she stalks one of our other cats, either a fight (usually in the form of a hissy fit) ensues or the other cat takes off and the chase is on ending in a mild catfight. (Why can’t they just get along)?

Maybe we could learn from this. In the previous post we saw that fear dumbs us down, keeps us from learning. While in this post we see that lack of fear (even in those considered unintelligent) can be a saving grace.

We as humans can accomplish so much more when we get past the fear. It is the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of being different or even the fear of being the same and being lost in the crowd that keeps us from greatness. Each of us has the potential for great accomplishments, some of us in a more low-keyed, behind the scene way than others. Meridian Tapping is a great way to get past the fear. It has helped me tremendously. I am not the same person I was 3 years ago or even 1 year ago. It can help you too.
