Many people hold their cats the wrong way, which causes them to kick or scratch to escape. If your cat doesn’t like being held, it may be because you’re not holding them correctly. Before picking up your cat, it's important to understand that some cats simply don’t enjoy being carried. However, using the right technique can help them feel secure and comfortable in your arms.
The proper way to hold a cat is to support their front legs with one hand, giving them stability. Even with just one hand, your cat will feel more secure. Then, use your other hand to support their lower body, making them feel more comfortable. When held correctly, your cat will feel safe and relaxed, allowing you to pet them without resistance. With the right handling, your cat may even start enjoying the experience!
