Shoulder kitten

Jane has reverted to wanting to be a shoulder kitten. She keeps climbing up my back and onto my shoulder at the least opportunity. I have known many kittens who liked to perch on my shoulder and, of course, Jane was one of them when she was small. This is my first experience though of a full size adult cat perching there. I rather like it except when she starts worrying about her balance and the claws come out!

Date: 2007-06-11 02:32 pm (UTC)When she's there, she's quite happy for some time, and blisses out on pets and neck scratches, but leave her there long enough and this compulsion comes over her - she must get up onto my shoulder right now. She doesn't seem sure of why she wants to be there, and doesn't know what to do when she gets there, and I have to wrestle her back down to hold her against my chest again or she starts to panic and tries climbing down my back. It's just weird because it's been at least three years since she was a shoulder kitten.
I can't let her sit up there though, because as you say, the balance thing. She's got sharp claws! I wonder what inspires them to want the shoulder after so much time?
