ITT: Help me pick up my cat! I don't want to hurt her and I'm fairly sure I've been doing it wrong. (Picking cat up one hand in front of legs, grasping her to my chest with other hand.) Thankfully I've only tried to do so twice.She's not so enthusiastic about being picked up, probably because I'm straining her somehow. Halp, /an/!
Protip: Some cats do not like being picked up.
Put one hand under the cat's chest and use the other to scoop the cat up by the butt. The key when holding the cat is to support the butt (without crushing the tail). :oAlso - some cats just don't like to be held at all.
I'm starting to think that yes, she's not a fan of being picked up. Thanks for the tips,>>340577.
