"He does it at least once a night" 😍BY STEPHEN MESSENGER
This is Freddy. Freddy's a cat.
Sometimes, though, Freddy's also a hat.
One day, Chelley Tunez was watching TV at home when her cuddly 5-month-old kitten began descending the staircase behind the couch. Rather than take all the steps down as he normally does, Freddy found a faster route to join her.
"He just peeked his little head [through the railing] and plopped his head on top of mine," Tunez told The Dodo. "Then the little feet followed."
This previously-undiscovered resting spot evidently came as a delightful epiphany to Freddy. From that moment forward, the lap cat would now insist on being a cap cat.
"He does it at least once a night," Tunez said. "He started doing it now to my husband as well."
After Freddy settles into place, he'll often spend 10 to 20 minutes perched atop their heads, just chilling.
Freddy tends to get so relaxed up there that he starts to slip off, so Tunez started using her hand to stabilize the rump of her cute feline hat.
"When hes had enough, hell slide down the side of your head and wrap himself around your neck, like a stole," Tunez said.
Though perhaps a bit unconventional, Freddy's choice of resting spot is motivated by one thing spending quality time with his friends.
"Hes ridiculously cuddly," Tunez said. "The cuddles are extreme."

(3,264 posts)That wanted me to carry her around on my shoulder. I vacuumed, folded clothes, and cooked dinner with this cat on my shoulder. Best cat ever. She was a Persian. Died at 18. I still miss her. We now refer to cats as to whether they are shoulder cats or not. She was special.

(23,105 posts)I found a tiny kitten who could barely walk and her eyes were just opening. She waddled up to me, I picked her up and she climbed straight to my shoulder and start nuzzling my neck and hair. She always wanted to be on my shoulder. Even when bottle feeding, she'd stop, go up on my shoulder, relax a minute then climb back down for more bottle. Tore me up when she got some neurological thing that happens to kittens taken away from their mom too soon, she was in great pain and couldn't move. I still miss her so bright and loving tiny little spirit.
