my cat loves to be draped over my shoulder. In fact sometimes when I come home she sits up on her hind legs and reaches for my shoulders. Of course, I always have my hands on her. I would hate if she feel from my shoulders accidently. Just be sure to have a grip on her and when she is ready to get down, assist her to the ground.

Any way (within reason- not just by his head or one leg, etc.) is ok if the cat's happy and not being forced to stay anywhere.

Brady likes to be held that way sometimes. I have walked around holding him and petting him that way for a good fifteen minutes before. As long as he likes being held that way and you let him go whenever he's ready, it should be fine.

Molly likes it too. She's a "lunky" lovebug snuggler, so basically any way you hold her, she wraps her paws around and just snugs in. When she goes over the shoulder, she'll wrap her paws around each side of the shoulder (top and side). Buffy and Willow won't allow it, though, Willow wants to be lower (actually being held, lol) and Buffy will struggle until she's perched ON the shoulder, lol
