“and there we go we just made friends with this wonderful little cat” c’:
I never knew there was a term for my cat: "A shoulder cat."
That shoulder cat got more pissed off the more he was put down. He just wanted to be on the shoulder and sit there. Poor baby.
so essentially, cats love hugs? that's the most wonderful thing i've heard all day.
My cat is a 'leave-me-alone' cat.

Instructions unclear. My cat just picked me up and I got startled so I scratched it.

The most important video on the Internet
My cat Bob was a shoulder cat. All my t-shirts had holes in the shoulder and stomach area from him holding on and digging in with his front & back claws. he had thumbs and a bob tail. I think his short tail made him a little off balance sometimes and I could only pick him up from the front. If I picked him up from behind, he would just flail. I miss my baby Bob. I lost him in Feb 2016 to hyperthyroidism after 11 yrs. he was such a sweetheart.
Dude, I want a shoulder cat How adorable is that!

Pirate is a thicc kitty
I didn’t know I could squish my cat :) Another tip that’s worked for me: if your cat’s in a bad mood, cover him with a blanket for a few minutes, he’ll totally reset his mood and come out happy and gentle!
Huge test tomorrow soooo, let me just watch a video on how to become a professional cat carrier
We took in this spunky little cat (small for a year old) a few years ago, and she’s a shoulder _queen._ She’ll meow (very loudly) at you if she’s in the mood for a ride, and if you make eye contact she’ll scramble for the nearest surface to shoulder-height to eagerly await you. If you’re busy, she’ll sometimes grow impatient and just leap onto you if she thinks she can make it (we always catch her). She’ll also climb onto your back if you’re leaning over for something, say, a pen off a desk, and will smugly curl up right where she is, purring contently. She only uses us for the transportation, I’m sure.

do you own a cat? no here's a video about how to hold a cat properly Yes please!
Dang, that actually helped with my female cat. She has been through at least two owners before me and had some bad expriences which obviously resulted in trust issues. She has now been with me for two years and it had gotten loads better, but she still did not want me to hold her. Normally I simply would have let her be, but for vet visits and such it was not an ideal situation. But then I saw this video and tried to squish the cat. And she loves it! She is turning into quite the snuggly bug. Thank you!
Idk why, but i lost it when he kept saying "squish that cat" 😂😂😂

Shoulder *exists Cat: that’s a place I can be
I would have never thought that a youtube video could be this useful. Now, I squish my cats everyday, and they don't mind being held anymore (they used to hate it). Thanks!
not to be dramatic but i would die for mr pirate
i tried putting my cat over my shoulder and she loved it
2:27 I'm crying
Oh dang. My cat's a shoulder cat! I usually wear a thick varsity jacket when she wants to gets on shoulders in the morning, so she'll occasionally just dig her claws into that to climb up and sit on my shoulder, perched like a parrot (she's a pretty small cat). Adorable. Except the morning I wasn't wearing my varsity jacket... there was a little blood.
"Just remember to have fun with your cat." I don't know why that stuck me as especially wholesome. I want to hug my cat now.
mr pirate was fated to be a shoulder cat the day he was named
Mr pirate is making me cry I’ve never loved anything more in my entire life aaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Wow, Claudia looks exactly like my cat Oreo!
I highly recommend your "squish-that-cat"-method if someome wants to experience less death glares from your cat. I used the "squish that cat"-technique to administer the monthly flea-tick-prevention fluid to our 9 stray cats today (don't worry, they're all vaccinated and neutered). Turns out, 8 out of 9 cats agree with your technique. It went much faster than normal, as they tend to freak out when they see me with the little white tube every month. Those 8 are now in a corner near me somewhere, purring with a bit of distrust but not too much anxiety. Number 9, however, heavily disagreed with your technique and clawed his way out of the squish-that-cat by going backwards and lower than I thought a cat could physically go, despite me heavily squishing him as much as I dared. I ended up having to squish him awkwardly against my thighs, hoping he wouldn't claw his way out again, and basically just flicked some of the fluid between his shoulder blades from afar for the few seconds before he bolted backwards through a tumble the best gymnasts couldn't reenact. Number 9 is now glaring at me from the top of the cat tree, drooling out of pure anxiety (he's a fear-drooler). I'm pretty sure that if I weren't immune to cat glares, I would be not just dead, but really really REALLY dead. The previous month that I administered the fluid, however, I hadn't watched your video yet and there were 9 of his angry behavior hidden around the house and garden giving me the death glare, and they wouldn't come near me for four days. I give the technique an 8/9.
