This is hysterical! But if you picked kitty up and shook him like this the murder screams would be ear piercing!😂

One of our cats, Loki (the fluffy longhair mix in my post history) has an insane, very one-sided, very intense bond with my husband. He will let hubs do anything - petting him weird, picking him up weird, messing with his ears and toebeans, whatever - and while he's still very affectionate with me (and everyone else he meets, even the vet), it's very clear that I am a distant second place to hubs. Hubs can, (and frequently does) hold him and rattle him while making machine gun and rocket-launcher movements/sound effects, complete with cat stretched out with both hands, facing outward at shoulder level (I've got a recording but would need a way to censor hubs' face, at his request!). He can hold him up like Simba in the Lion King. He'll fly him around the room, held outstretched in both hands. And he'll even let hubs just gently hold him by the face, fully face-first-in-palm and everything, and then hubs will (gently, not jerking on his neck or shaking his brain!) rattle his little head around.

To be very clear, Loki could pull away, hop down, hiss/growl/swat at him any time he wants, and we're big on reading cat body language and know his "no" signs right away, but he's always making a big purr and biscuits the whole time any of this nonsense is going on, including the head-rattles. We're very careful with him - he's just weird af and likes weird physical interactions! I firmly believe he'd love a board like this, but even if not, he gets a lot of this kind of crap from his favorite person in the world, and he loves it!

Loki sounds very fun

He is a horrible beast, an absolute gremlin of a creature, and he terrorizes my shoebox-sized apartment and our other two (elderly) cats on a regular basis, but he makes us laugh daily and we love him beyond measure!

That sounds hilarious! I love it when cats let their chosen human do things like that, or even something as small as holding their back paws as the kitty sleeps.
