5:26 am in my country... Just trying to stay awake for 24hrs or more... the last time, i jumped on the bed, i closed my eyes and in less than 10 seconds i fell asleep :v And yeah im writing this to stay awake longer...
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!
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.
Claudia was such a good kitty omg you could tell she thought it was weird all the things he kept doing but she just went along the whole time. I hope she got treats after! :3
If the cat is nervous squish that cat! If the cat does not want to stay still squish that cat! If the cat is hungry squish that cat! If there is anything wrong with your cat squish that cat!
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.
Good call! Mr. Pirate came to me as a 1 week old kitten and spent the first month of his life trying to scramble up on my shoulder while I bottle-fed him :-).
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.
Honestly, we can't. I would be a lot wealthier if I lived anywhere else, but it is a lifestyle choice. I may be poor, but I can walk to the shops and ride my bike all summer (all 2 months of it). Perhaps evidence that you don't have to be smart to be a vet :p
Who doesn't love a good shoulder cat? I've actually horrified friends who think they have a very standoff-ish cat by greeting the cat and immediately shouldering - never had a problem - never got scratched. The best kind of cat: one who thinks there's no such thing as bad attention! Just loves human contact.
Me I've never owned a cat. I don't know any of my relatives who own cats too. They are completely foreign to me. This was helpful advice if I ever run into one. :)
If your cat trusts you and isn’t too skittish you can use your hand as a platform for their back paws to sit on and use the other hand to support their chest. I carry my kitty everywhere like this!! Leaves no room for dangling and you become a big mobile perch for them.
12/10 cat. Excellent squishability
12/10 comment. Excellent observation.

How to unsquish a cat in case I oversquished my cat?
"I've seen people walking around town with a cat around their hoody"
Where the hell does this dude live?
Lol, I've seen it both in Vancouver and Sydney!
The fact that we have a 7 minute video on trending about how to keep cats comfortable gives me hope for humanity

Can i do that on a jaguar ?

Well yes, but actually no

Aw man, that shoulder cat is so adorable. He just kept wanting to get back up!
The fact that his name's Mr. Pirate just makes him the complete package of preciousness.

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.
Mom: What did you learn today?
Me: SQUISH THAT CAT!!
This is just proof that cats are liquid.
I need "Squish that cat" shirt.
Yes you do! Please check out our Redbubble store, they are there!
You must be care full with that shirt ;) some cat lovers can understand that wrong way and try to squish you for it 😈

I adopted a cat just because she jumped on my shoulder the first time I saw her. Shoulder cats are the best.
Cambodia Expats Online yes! It's lovely really. I've had 2 shoulder cats in my time. So sweet 💗
I've always called them parrot cats. Like the parrots who perched on pirate shoulders.

6:26 It looks like the cat wanted to stay on his shoulder. He's like "nooo keep me up there !" Cute

Its a sign, you're gonna end up adopting one now lol

I’m not disappointed
Instructions unclear. My cat just picked me up and I got startled so I scratched it.
Here's this handsome, 14-year old boy. A little bit chubby. He's a shoulderboy. He stays on your shoulder if you squish.

Helpful Vancouver Vet you are such a nice person, i have more faith in humanity because of you.
Helpful Vancouver Vet bless your heart, you are wonderful, this video is awesome thanks😽
Option 3 for taking a shoulder cat off your shoulder: You realise that the cat will be on your shoulder for ever and accept your fate.
My face hurts from smiling so much. Squish. That. Cat.
mr pirate was fated to be a shoulder cat the day he was named

Pirate is a thicc kitty
I didn't realise it was possible to be a 'Pro' at picking up cats. I wanna be able to put that on my CV
I'm not sure how even vets afford to live in Vancouver BC.
Honestly, we can't. I would be a lot wealthier if I lived anywhere else, but it is a lifestyle choice. I may be poor, but I can walk to the shops and ride my bike all summer (all 2 months of it). Perhaps evidence that you don't have to be smart to be a vet :p
