Caption of Table "floating" above the table

Question

I have the following code:

 \documentclass{article}
 \usepackage{caption}
 \usepackage{booktabs}
 \begin {document}
 \begin {table} [ht]
 \caption*{\bf{Table 6: Pattern of Share Ownership, 2011}}
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{l r}
 \toprule
 \bf{Ownership Category} & \bf{2011}\\
 \midrule
  Foreign Ownership  & 28.99\% \\
  PIC & 6.05\% \\
  Official Pension Funds & 8.43\% \\
  Private Pension Funds & 5.47\% \\
  Long Term Insurers & 11.62\% \\
  Corporate Ownership & 22.30\% \\
  Private Direct Ownership & 17.14\% \\
\bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
  \end{table}
  \end{document}

which produces the following table:

Table 6

Is it possible to get the caption closer to the table? Another question - is it possible for the caption to be "wrapped" around the table?

Since you are using the caption package anyway: Are you aware of the option font=bf? — , Dec 03 '13 at 08:50
A sidenote about \bf: Don't use it. See Does it matter if I use \textit or \it, \bfseries or \bf, etc. You're also using it wrong. Like \bfseries it is not a macro that takes an argument, it is a switch influencing the following text. So in general it should be {\bfseries text}, not \bfseries{text}. — Torbjørn T., Mar 15 '14 at 11:38
