On the morning of the thirty-first, I was about to shave when Marcus, my shoulder-jumping male kitten, decided to join me. Deciding it might make an interesting shot, I grabbed the phone and took this pose. Marcus cooperated and looked quite pleased with himself.
I assume that he thinks this is his best side for photography. Marcus stayed perched on the shoulder throughout the shave and only jumped off when I started putting on the aftershave.
I guess he doesn’t appreciate good Dominican Bay Rhum yet.

My Wolfgang ( don’t let the name throw you, he was a cat) was an experienced shoulder rider. He would perch himself on Luis’ shoulder or in my case drape himself across the back or my neck like a scarf.
Nobody taught him to fo that, he just liked the bird’s eye view I guess.
