A dose of cuteness to start the week off strong! Cats are adorable everywhere, yeah, we agree, whether they're on your lap, in your hands, on your shelf, or under your blanket. But something entirely special and different is when your cat decides to use you as public transportation and sits on your shoulder. It makes your heart warm. And your neck hurt.

Mine used to do that when she was smaller, would sit on my shoulder and walk around with me, watching the world from that high position of greatness. I miss it and am fully jealous of any cat owner whose kitty is either small enough to still be doing it or is adventurous enough to continue doing it into their adult-cat-hood. So, for any of you cat lovers who are in the same position as me, here's a list of cats who love sitting on shoulders to fill the cat-shaped hole in your heart/on your shoulder.

Some would perhaps argue that a cat's place is not on one's shoulder, but we would disagree. A cat's place is anywhere it would like to be. But some places cats really don't belong in, and you can check those out here.
