lol. I agree with people who talk sense. XD Also, an angsty twist to the guts always helps.
Please, think about it and then tell me why the Euphie's thing doesn't sit right with you. As for Suzaku's apparent lack of reason, remember he is the boy who kept his father's broken watch for seven years. He attaches meaning to symbols and the dead are as important to him as the living. When Lelouch says Euphie's death is in the past, Suzaku reacts strongly and points a gun at him. I know that's overanalying like woah, but I've always loved watching that scene as a shock of world views - Lelouch tends to look forward, Suzaku tends to look back. One is the boy who must cross the field of dead bodies to find safety for the living. The other is the boy who must stop and cry at the horror and the dead. One is the boy who wants badly to save the living princess, the other is the one who must revenge the one who is gone. I could draw those parallels forever - they even match their Zodiac Signs. The idea of Suzaku seeing a connection between Arthur and Euphemia is to me just a new example of that. That, of course, doesn't prevent Suzaku from having plans to change the future, and it doesn't prevent Lelouch from being haunted by his past. Still, they have these themes going on between them throughout the series, which tend to be yet another major source of misunderstanding.
But ah, I love your theory too. It also fits Suzaku's attachment to the past and desire of self-punishment. It's also bittersweet and loving... and it feels so right. And of course, he loves the kitty, and Arthur actually saved his life. :)
