Hairy, gray wandering cat on shoulders of woman (?) with brightly dyed ginger hair in a store!

The tweet reads: “This little one came into my store today (not my cat). Meet Rubber! He enjoyed yelling and being on shoulders…” Sweet. Super attractive little, all-gray cat enjoying himself being at the same level as humans which is the way it should be, I’d say. Why post something like this? Because the photo is interesting. It is the juxtaposition of the gray, young cat, so vulnerable and the ginger mop on top of the woman. I have presumed that it is a woman. Wrong? Apologies. I am probably stereotyping unfairly.

Sweet grey cat on shoulders on woman with dyed ginger hair in a store. Tweet screenshot.

She knows the cat and so he is has quickly become a ‘regular’ visitor to this store which is a pet shop (an abundance of pet products in the background). Perhaps the cat should stay and become a shop cat in the style of Bodega cats. They are so useful and what better store than a pet store for a cat? I call them working cats as they cheer up the customers, the shop owner and keep mice away.

Note: This is a tweet from Twitter. Sometimes they are deleted at source which stops them working on this site. If that has happened, I apologise but I have no control over it.
