Synopsis: A little boy plays with his new kitten Dusty.
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): The little boy explains how he played with his new Siamese kitten Dusty the first day he got him.
Later the boy leaves the room and Dusty explores. The boy explains different scenarios of the kitten pretending he is something else. First he says Dusty thought he was a lumberjack and knocked down a vase of flowers.
Then Dusty thought he was a miner and played in a paper bag as if it were a deep hole.
Next Dusty discovered Timmy the goldfish and thought he was a goldfish, too.
Then Dusty becomes a lion in the jungle while playing among the flowers. The kitten topples when the flowers fall over, but look closely and you’ll see the hand of the person who knocked them over!
Finally Dusty plays with some yarn and decides he is just a kitten.
Final Mewsings: Little boys and kittens both have big imaginations!
