How to pick up a kitten correctly: mistakes that many owners make
The charming sight of a fluffy kitten can melt anyone's heart.
At the same time, fragile babies require careful handling.
Below you'll find expert advice we've put together to help you get moving in the right direction when interacting with your kitten.
1. The first thing I would like to point out is to try not to surprise your pet. So that he is not shocked when his little paws leave the ground, start your acquaintance with the purr-fect by talking in a gentle tone and stroking.
2. The correct technique is important - one hand must be placed under the kitten's front paws, and the other under its bottom so that the hand grasps the hind paws.
If the baby is still very small, you can lift it with one hand, placing it so that the fingers are directed towards the cat's neck, and the chest is placed on the palm.
As soon as you pick up your pet, hold him close to you - this way he will feel that he is safe.
3. Sometimes kittens are extremely active and prefer to explore the world around them instead of spending time on hugs. In this case, it is worth sitting on the floor before picking up the kitten - you will reduce the possible risks if the animal suddenly wants to jump down.
4. Finally, I would like to note that since all creations are unique, what one person likes may not be liked by another.
Therefore, carefully monitor the kitten's reaction - if you notice that he is scared and worried, let him go so that he can calm down.
