* As part of her part as an evil witch in the [[Non Indicative First Episode]] of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Nagato gets a shoulder-mounted cat.

* In ''[[Puzzle Pirates]]'', the player can get a "familiar" pet that perches on the player character's shoulder. Originally they were all parrots or monkeys, but later updates to the game have added octopuses and seahorses (which nonetheless like a shoulder perch) and serpents (which go the [[Feather Boa Constrictor]] route).
