Why you shouldn't pick up an adult cat by the scruff of the neck
Owners of cats should abandon the idea of carrying their pets by the scruff of the neck or using this method as a punishment.
Naturally, cats can carry their kittens this way, since babies have soft skin and flexible ligaments. But when it comes to an adult animal, everything is different.
This method of transfer is dangerous to his health.
The load on ligaments and muscles increases significantly.
There is a risk of cervical spine displacement, ligament rupture and other serious problems.
In addition, it is important to consider that when the skin in the neck area is pulled, the cat may begin to suffocate.
This situation, even if it does not go well for the animal, will frighten it greatly. Therefore, psychological trauma is guaranteed.
At the same time, the cat owner also needs to remember that he himself may suffer if he decides to take the cat in this way.
The animal may become angry from the shock and physical impact it has experienced. As a result, there is no escape from scratches and bites.
