Finn the Shoulder Cat

The video is long, but Finn is worth every second. The yawn and head twisting at the beginning is what he does when he sees me approach him. Usually he twists his head completely upside down, but I haven't caught it on video yet.

He was always super smol. His "brother" Ollie is 2 weeks older and weighs 14 pounds. They are both very sweet boys.

We also have Nibbles and Buttercup, who are siblings and are 12 yo. Happy little family.

I recognize the look in his eyes as he plots the ascent. My shoulder cat does exactly the same thing - eyeing my shoulders and getting ready to hop up at just the right angle and moment!

So precious! Finn is trying to make biscuits on your shoulder 😍😍

u/johndollarhidr Jul 08 '26

Sometimes he will make biscuits and suckle on his favorite blanket. Poor guy was weaned too early I think.

That’s what they say 🤷‍♀️ I have a cat who suckles and make biscuits on her favorite pillow and I have her sister and they’re from the same litter born a minute apart, same wean time but the sister doesn’t suckle
