The Right Way To Pick Up A Cat

When I was a kid, I had a Ginger cat named Tom. Tom let me do everything with him. Dress him up in baby clothes, pick him up upside down and I also held him like a baby. (poor Tom!). Of course,  I was a kid and I didn’t know any better and whenever my mother would see me torture Tom by thinking he was “my baby doll”, she would tell me that Tom did not like that and he was an animal, not a baby. As I got older, with the help of my mother, I was taught the right way to respect any animal that came into our home. 

It would be safe to say that all of us have been in that point of our lives before. Picking up our cats as babies and throwing them over our shoulder, but sometimes I still see people hold a cat incorrectly. I know some of you will say that “My cat loves being held like a baby” or that “They’ve been doing this since Fluffy was a kitten”. Granted, your cat may have gotten used to it, that doesn't necessary mean that Fluffy “enjoys this”. 

The way most of us pick up a cat is by placing one hand in their mid-section area and the other around their armpit, chest area. Now, if you have a big cat like I do, picking them up in this fashion, they will sometimes make a noise of discomfort. You are putting a ton of pressure on their organs! It may be easier for us to do it in this fashion, but it is not fun for Fluffy.

The RIGHT way to pick up a cat is by using their feet as stability. This will allow for all of their body weight to be centered in this area versus putting pressure on their center organs. The easiest way that I find to do this is to break into steps until it becomes natural:

  1. Place one hand (I use my right since I am right-handed) around the cats’ armpit area. I like to cup my hand around their chest so that their weight is evenly distributed.
  2. Take your other hand and place it right under their feet. Their feet will naturally want to position themselves on your palm since this feels much more natural to them.
  3. Using their body weight, lift them up and it’s as if they were standing up!

  • BITCOIN RECOVERY IS VERY MUCH REAL, AM A LIVING TESTIMONY!!!!
    I was actually fooled and sca*m*med over ( $753,000 ) by someone I trusted with my funds through a transaction we did and I feel so disappointed and hurt knowing that someone can steal from you without remorse after trusting them, so I started searching for help legally to recover my stolen funds and latter came across a lot of Testimonials about JAMESMCKAYWIZARD, an agent who helps in recovering lost funds, which I can tell has helped so many people who had contacted him regarding such issues and without a questionable doubt with positive reviews, it took the expert 48hours to help me recover my funds and the best part of it all was that the sca*mmer was actually located and arrested by local authorities in his region which was very relieving.

  • After losing over $600,000.00 to fraudulent stock brokers who operated under the name “fxtradebit,” I found myself drowning in debt. However, I was fortunate enough to come across so reviews about a hack specialist by name jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com. They played a crucial role in my journey towards recovery and exposing the true nature of the scammers. Initially, I was on the verge of paying the requested transfer fees out of desperation to retrieve my money, but jamesmckaywizard intervened. They revealed that the scammers were impostors and that their company was merely a copycat of a legitimate one. This revelation devastated me, but Century Hackers used their expertise to trace the money back to the accounts and wallets where I had sent it. Their remarkable efforts turned the situation in my favor, for which I am immensely grateful. You can reach them through email jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31* 657* 446* 248.

  • I invested $86,000 worth of USDT into a stock market trading app, believing it to be a legitimate opportunity for me to make profit. It wasn’t until later that I discovered it was a Ponzi scheme. As a full-time investor, I was devastated by the loss and felt immense regret for trusting the marketting admin with my hard earned money. While grappling with the aftermath, I came across Reviews of jamesmckaywizard on GOOGLE while i was looking for ways to recover my stolen funds back. After researching, I found them to be a genuine and trustworthy crypto recovery team. I reached out to them, and they promptly guided me through the entire process via their email. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my USDT was fully recovered. I highly recommend their Service to anyone seeking assistance in recovering their crypto or money lost to anyone online due to false pretence or whatsover via Email:jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what’sapp +31- 65-74-46-24-8.
