Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2007Shoulderkitten!
As usual, I've been lurking rather than posting, but I had to share this photo with you. Yesterday was a public holiday in Hong Kong, and I went to Cheung Chau (one of the outlying islands) for a day out. Outside a small street restaurant, as is common, a man who had just finished his meal was resting his head on the table and taking a quick nap. The restaurant's kitten wasn't going to miss an opportunity like that: hence this photograph... http://www.stagg.hk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=5&pos=1 I tried to pet the kitten, but I'd just finished a big seafood lunch so it was more interested in licking my fingers. Cheung Chau is a nice, warm traffic-free island full of seafood restaurants - quite the perfect place for a kitten to live! > As usual, I've been lurking rather than posting, but I had to share > this photo with you.

I might be tempted to do that, too! LOL > Cheung Chau is a nice, warm traffic-free island full of seafood > restaurants - quite the perfect place for a kitten to live! Sounds like it. I like it when people have "shop cats". Thanks for sharing! Jill > Sounds like it. I like it when people have "shop cats". Thanks for > sharing! > > Jill One of the things I like best about European restaurants is that unlike the U.S. (and most of the UK) dogs are welcome! (You seldom even notice them, unless you see their humans coming in or leaving - the dog lies quietly under the table, disturbing no one.) >As usual, I've been lurking rather than posting, but I had to share >this photo with you.

Reminds me of the old joke about the man who walks into a doctor's office with a duck sitting on his head. THe doctor swallows hard and says "What can I do for you?" and the duck says, "Doc, can you get this guy off my @$$?"

How cute! I'd take my kitten (almost a cat at 11 months) to work, but allergies, both of coworkers and patrons... I used to be badly allergic to cats, but some good allergy medication and daily interaction with the allergen helps a lot. Kathy and Woodgie absolutely lovely picture. Thanks for sharing!

Little one is well on its way to becoming the ultimate shop cat. Jo > As usual, I've been lurking rather than posting, but I had to share > this photo with you.

Hey, alphonze -- wondered where you were. Too cute! I have a shoulder cat, who was a shoulder kitten. Arthur as a kitten loved to crawl up on my shoulder. And he's never outgrown it (ouch! lol!). Ginger-lyn > Too cute! I have a shoulder cat, who was a shoulder kitten. Arthur as > a kitten loved to crawl up on my shoulder. And he's never outgrown it > (ouch! lol!). I feel your pain, Ginger-lyn. Caliban is also still a shoulder cat, in spite of his current size. He just doesn't seem to realise he 'growed up.' The worst is when he settles down for a nap on my neck. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > I feel your pain, Ginger-lyn.

Likewise with my dear Amelia. I love my dear tortlie ("portly tortie") girl, but having 18 pounds of kitty-lump riding on your shoulders can get tiring pretty quickly. > I have a shoulder cat, who was a shoulder kitten. Arthur as > a kitten loved to crawl up on my shoulder. And he's never > outgrown it (ouch! lol!). My little Mingus was very good at that. He was never very heavy and was also really athletic, so he could get up on my shoulder in one leap or with only a very slight heave-up on the way. BOING! and he'd be up there looking me in the eye and wanting me to be a tour bus for a trip round the house. He was ill for a few weeks before he died - we didn't realize how serious it was (kidney failure). But he still managed to jump on my shoulder and purr the night before he died. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 >> I have a shoulder cat, who was a shoulder kitten.

I've lost two to it, and Cosmo has it (although he was diagnosed with it something like 7 years ago, so I am very lucky). I know Cosmo's time will come, but I hope he has more time left.

A couple of years ago, I was riding up an escalator in Victoria Station in London, and I suddenly became aware of not just one, but TWO leetle tabby kittens looking at the passing scene from the shoulder of the guy just ahead of me. A look around showed me dozens of Londoners going up and down the escalator, gazing at the bitties with adoring eyes. The cute truly conquers all. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War >> Too cute! I have a shoulder cat, who was a shoulder kitten.

The worst is when he settles down for a nap on my neck. Ouch -- that's something Arthur doesn't do, thank heavens. He's too restless to sleep on my shoulder. But he still likes to go for a "shoulder ride" just about every day. I'm lucky he "growed up" :-) to be a lithe, no-fat cat.

Awww, what a cute little kitty! Great photo! Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek |
