I'll preface this by saying I began my quest for toys (and to a lesser extent, teacups) so I could wear kitties that weren't too giant for my avatar as the normal-sized kitties engulf my avatar and cover her clothing almost completely. Not everyone follows the same avatar proportions and we're so lucky to have the opportunity to have all sorts of sizes for kitties, especially toys for me!
With that in mind, every time I have a toy (especially those big toys!) perched on my shoulder, I wish so much that I could cuddle or hold this kitty, I adore my toys and would love nothing more than to show it by having one in my arms. Why not? The toy be the perfect size to cuddle with for my avatar and I'm sure plenty of others - my avatar isn't that tiny that I'd be in the minority in looking proportioned with cuddling my toy or at least having the opportunity to hold one.
It's wonderful having the option to attach the kitty to your shoulder but it'd be even more wonderful to have both options. Holding a normal-sized kitty that consumes my avatar when I hold him/her is about as silly looking (or more so) as a larger avatar holding a toy kitty, so bigger avatars would still be able to attach the kitty to his or her shoulder if they didn't wish to hold/cuddle and appear like the kitty is too tiny for their proportions, each person could easily use his or her discrepancy to determine if they rather sport the kitty in their arms or perched their shoulder.
I'm all about bringing more kitty options to fulfill the needs of all sorts of avatar walks of life and hope that one day toys (and perhaps even teacups for avatars even teenier as we see our friends get smaller with mesh and whatnot) too can be smothered with much love in the arms of their owners.
