The family of one of my exes had horses and at their stables lived two cats who loved being on people's shoulders and heads. So whenever we were out doing stuff around the stables they'd jump up onto you, but now and then they'd be up on the woodwork or roofs and just jump from there right onto your head if you stood upright or your back if you were raking or anything else where you're bent over. It scared the shit out of me the first couple of times, you just feel this thing crash into you from above without warning, the cats were pretty big and more muscular than indoor cats so they weighed a lot. Learned to expect it though, always liked having them just hang on your head or around your shoulders while you took care of the horses and everything else.
Those cats had no issue getting down from heights like this, haha, no matter if you were there or not. This is super sweet though!
