It looks like so much fun to have a shoulder cat. None of our cats would even dare to get on our shoulders, and we took some time to examine why some like riding on the shoulder express more than others. Cats love being high up, it helps them feel safe (and more in control). A shoulder is like a moving lookout tower, but with snacks. Our cats, however, have no survival instincts whatsoever, so they might not feel the need to be high up. They don't even relax on the tops of their cat trees ever.

Being a shoulder cat comes down to trust and early exposure as well. They have to trust that you won't shake them off, your meowvements are predictable, and that you won't panic. We have been known to panic sometimes, so that explains that quite clearly. It also comes down to exposure. If you put your cats on your shoulders when they were kittens, they'll be more used to it when they're adults. We didn't do that. Next kitten we will, though.

'His name is "Hefty Fabuloso"': Cowboy’s wife find baby black cat in garbage bag, the cat immediately adopts him and becomes his fluffy feline familiar
Can you think of any cuter combo than a cowboy and his cat?
We don't want to read any more stories about cats being discarded in garbage bags. No more. In 2026, we're officially putting a stop to hoomanity treating cats like trash. They are not trash. They are wholesome, fluffy, cute creatures that are the purrfect companions. If you don't believe us, just look at the awwdorable friendship this abandoned cat and his cowboy dad have.
The cowboy's wife found the cat tangled in a garbage bag that was thrown into the middle of the street. Taking pity on the poor, tiny baby, she brought him home. The cat immediately took to the husband, jumping on his shoulders and becoming his tiny shadow. Ever since then, they've been glued together. They sleep next to each other every night. After much deliberation, he gave him what is probably the most purrfect cat name we've ever heard: Hefty Fabuloso. Take a second to let that awesomeness sink in.
Well, this cowboy cat dad decided to share some pawsitively heartwarming pictures of them together, and we're eating them up like the tasty little treat they are. You can clearly see the love and bond between them - a dad and his cat. A cowboy and his purrtner. They're the cutest thing we've seen all week, and we can't think of a better way to start the new year than with some cowboy and cute kitty energy. Scroll down and read their whole story below!
