Maybe you have already heard about Shironeko — the Japanese cat who is famous for letting his human place fruit, cans, empty noodle cups and more on his head and front paws. And he never complains. He just sits there calmly. Even more amazing, he has three feline pals who join him in this zen-like endeavor. I ran across Shironeko’s YouTube channel recently and discovered his human is still making videos on a regular basis. Here are some highlights — these cats could all give us lessons on how to have an easy Sunday!
Here is Shironeko in classic zen cattitude:

Before you think they are all zen and no action, here is what happens when they are tossed some silver vine, a catnip-like Japanese plant. Okay, Shironeko barely raises a whisker, but the rest of them are pretty into it:

He is CRAZY cute!!
Now THAT is a calm kitty! We dont know if we would put up with that. But Iza is pretty calm when napping, so we suspect TBT might try a can or 2 on her head… He HAS put candy an toys on her before.
Very sweet Zen cats!
Thank you for coming by and for caring about our Yoko. She is doing much better!
Sparkle, You program the BEST Sunday Catinees! Always the purrrrrfect choices.
These guys are the very definition of Zenlike calm. They can’t REALLY be cats, can they?
Now that’s Zen!
I am a huge cat lover so I cannot but adore your blog, it’s always a pleasure reading you :).
Very mellow cats indeed. There are no mellow Farm cats…..
Phew, I’m glad Shironeko moved in that last clip… I was beginning to think he was the video definition of ‘cat’atonic!
Shironeko is VERRRRY Zen! He hardly opens his eyes ever!
Amazing!!!
That really is something, I just hope you know who doesn’t get any ideas!
If only MY crew were that relaxed…*sigh*

Now those are some relaxed cats!!
That really is incredible. I don’t understand but I guess it is just their personalities. Especially Shironeko. But Shironeko moves a little bit in the last video. That is just amazing. Thanks for putting this on.
Great videos…. Super concentration.
pawhugs, Max
We just ADORE the video of Shironeko (why is he called white cat when he has some tabby markings?) and his pals! They’re fabulous.
Those cans of cat food were nostalgic as #1 used to buy that brand when she lived in Japan!
