“If there’s a Puss in Boots, why shouldn’t there be a Shoulder Puss?”, Internet users thought, and began training their pets, starting a big challenge. But we all know that you can’t make a cat do something against its will. So, not everyone can claim victory.

At Bright Side, we decided to repeat this challenge with our cats, but we only managed to laugh and take comical photos, very much like the pictures in this article. At the end, you’ll find a bonus: other animals also participated in the challenge.
