[@beboysub]

Cats are truly wonderful creatures

[@AubreysPriv]

Actually, cats are really different. This is good for beginner cat owners but i have divorced parents and my own cat at each house. One of my cats LOVES to be held like a baby, she loves for me to hold her back and she just flops. While my other isnt so floppy. He likes to be held with him laying his front halve on my shoulder. All cats are diffrent so take the time to see what your cat loves! 💗💗💗

[@MetroPrime98]

This is the comment I was looking for. Just like people, every animal has their own personality. My cat does not mind getting picked up with both my hands under her front legs. I do that, then prop her on my shoulder to support her bottom with one of my hands. She never has a problem, even sometimes not wanting to be put down lol.

[@Lizardcomplex]

🐾I appreciate your cat for taking the time off from their schedule to demonstrate this for us 😂❤

[@user-vw1gi1ft8h]

When my cat was injured by a dog,(I have outdoor cats) I had to pick it up by under the armpits. It looked like the dog tried to tear my cats belly out. It would have died if I hadn’t saved it. Me and my mom took it inside until we had the chance to take it to the vet. It luckily was saved and it looked like it never happend. I’m glad we could save it 🙂🙃

[@FlyWithBusier]

same but a gentleman saved her

[@omptt7057]

[@siene1518]

I look after foster cats, so I regularly try to find out whether I'll be able to pick them up (just in case I need to put them in the transport box or something like that). The one I care for at the moment absolutely hates it, so I've immediately started feeding him in the box, so that I can lure him in if needed. If I need to take the food bowl to the vet with me, then that's how it is :D

[@diplexnormal3353]

Sometimes, it’s best to try to get cats to like being picked up is to train them to like it when their young.

[@CMStrawbridge]

To an extent. Nature and nurture always battling it out, though! Also, males tend to be more affectionate whereas females are generally a bit more standoffish, even within the same litter, training them all to like cuddles equally. I see this first hand in the litter I just raised and still have 2 of (10 weeks old). My little boy loves to be held, comes for snuggles often, and purrs the instant you start rubbing his little head, and usually falls asleep that way. 🥺 My little girl will only tolerate it for like a minute, even when she's sleeping already😢 I raised them exactly the same way😂😭

[@SandraCat22]

What a cutie pie 🥰 ❤. He’s cute

[@thecaterpillaratmaudlinstreet]

Here’s a tutorial that might be helpful for what I do with my cat: •I put my body above him (I put one leg where his leg is, the next leg where his other leg is) •Then I bend down •Then, I put one hand at his stomach/belly/tummy and put the over on his tail (his tail then covers his backside so my hand isn’t going into his backside) • I then lift him up and I bend up again and he’s now in my arms. I have multiple ways on how I pick him up, if anyone wants to know just tell me and I’ll share

[@sarahhouston6560]

PERFECT❤

[@Voidboi223]

So i wrap around them. Cats tend to like it more if they feel secure and protected such as almost compleatly covered. So how i do it is support the back and front. Then i hug them tight enough to be secure but enough to breath

Thanks😅😊

[@herogibson]

Man if i had to pick up a cat i didnt know i wouldnt try to show it how unsure i am about it by “petting” it like that. Thats a good way to get effed up when you go to pick it up. Also how you pick them up depends entirely how they are sitting or laying. Overall just make sure as much of its body is supported as possible, and be confident. You have to let them know with YOUR body language that like it or not they’re about to get picked up. Obviously, if you know that cat doesnt like to be picked up or held, dont! Unless you have to.

I do whatever to my cat because he loves me and I love him and he knows thats how it is, so he deals with me 😂

[@CMStrawbridge]

Most house cats aren't quite this big, but if they're small enough, I find placing your three middle fingers on the front of the cat in between their front legs, it's much easier to calm and control them (of course still supporting their little backsides with an open palm). With small kittens, you can do this one-handed, so it can come in handy
