Bronx, I've tried to teach my kitty how to take shoulder rides, but she won't have it. When I was little my sister had a Siamese cat who loved to be on my sister's shoulder as much as possible. You are such a handsome kitty in your grey and white coat! And definitely in charge at your house. My kitty likes to eat the first half of breakfast around 4 or 4:30 AM too! Please have a wonderful day full of all your favorite things! Happy Cat of the Day to you!
