Why Me?

I'm not really sure what's going on in the top photo.  Since dad says I don't like being held like "normal" cats (he rarely knows what he's talking about, so I just let that go) this is one way he has of holding me. 
Don't worry, he does support what he refers to as my considerable heft, and on this particular day I think we were just watching mom working in the kitchen. 
Do I LOOK comfortable?  Please. Put. Me. Down!
No, it wasn't Halloween.  This, umm, colorful outfit is just dad's lazy loungewear.  I understand old Orbit used to love settling over dad's shoulder, but not all cats like the same things.  I wish he would get that.

Cleo, as if you were a stuffed toy cat! Time to call your feline union rep, and file a complaint for being man-handled in a way that you don't like!

My human holds me every which way! But that's mainly practice for my therapy cat visits.

Cleo, you definitely don't look happy on that shoulder!

My 3 cats do not like to be picked up basically at all. They love to cuddle when I'm sitting down and it's their idea, and their favorite place to land is up on my chest! Bogie (the oldest at 15 now) likes to sit as close as he can (usually behind my head) otherwise.

Well, Cleo, the only thing we can say is thank Bast your dad doesn't try to dance with you! We boys won't put up with our mom's attempts, but our old sisters Caroline and Olivia were frequent dance partners of hers!

Smudge said...

Oh, trust me- mom's the guilty party as far as the dancing goes. She's got this thing where she props me up and makes me dance while singing KC and the Sunshine Band's "Get Down Tonight"! Not a pretty sight.

Sometimes the humans need to see if we like what their previous kitties liked. But you just do you!

Yup, I can relate with that— I don't do anything I don't want and I do that any way I like, MOL

MOL MOL MOL Cleo...
You look tolerantly comfy...only because you love your Dad. I think you Dad needs to adopt that color as HIS color is looks very nice with your Tortie
furs.
Happy Dad's day to him too
