It’s only natural to want to give your cat all the cuddles or simply carry it around. But while doing so, it is important to hold it properly so the feline can be comfortable and enjoy.

A while back, The Cattery Cat Shelter from Texas shared a video in which one member of their staff showed all the best ways to hold a cat. And whether you own a cat or simply want to fondle any cat you see on the street, it will be quite helpful.

According to The Cattery Cat Shelter, the most important thing is to support the cat’s backside when holding it. For example, if you are holding the upper part of a cat’s body with one hand, make sure the rear end is resting in your other hand. A few other great ways to hold a cat are cradling it like a baby or resting her backside onto your elbow pit. 

“The key to carrying a cat is to make sure the cat is comfortable and well supported so their body isn’t dangling,” The Cattery Cat Shelter explains.

Check out this awesome video below on how to hold your cat properly.

Right Choice

Many cats have a habit of nibbling on fresh leaves, so it’s important to opt for plants that are safe for your feline companion. Do your research on any plant you’re planning to buy to make sure it’s cat-friendly and non-toxic.

Proper Placement

Cats have a habit of reaching places you’d never expect them to reach, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to protect your plants. Put them in places that are out of your cat’s reach or consider using hanging planters and wall pots.

Designated Cat Area

If your home is big enough, you should consider creating a designated area for your cats, filled with cat trees, scratchers, and toys that will distract them from playing with plants.

Cat Deterrents

Putting citrus peels inside your plant pots is a great way to distract cats from coming nearby. You can also put a layer of tiny rocks or stones on top of the soil to stop your cats from digging through the plants.

Tree Skirt

Make sure to put a fluffy tree skirt beneath your tree and it might be just the thing that distracts your cat enough so that it doesn’t reach for the branches and baubles. 

Pinecones

Making a bed of pinecones can keep cats away from the tree as it acts as a barrier between the cat and the tree. It’s a long shot, but it may just work.

Cat Repellent

There are smells that cats don’t enjoy, such as bitter apple, potpourri, and citronella. You can use this to your advantage if you want your cat not to approach the tree.

Most cats don’t like getting wet, which is why they do their best to sabotage any attempt of a bath. But they obviously need one from time to time and it can be a real struggle for both the cat and its owner. Scientists believe that of the reasons cats don’t like water is because their fur absorbs it rather than deflecting it. It’s not easy for them to get dry and they hate that feeling.

So how do you give your cat a bath without getting scratches all over your body?

First of all – are you sure that your cat actually needs a bath? Cats are famous for grooming themselves to perfection and rarely require a full wash with water. Brushing will do the work most of the time.

If you decide you need to bathe your pet, the best tip we have is to make it quick and efficient. Use rubber gloves to prevent scratches and have a few supplies ready, such as cat shampoo (or mild baby shampoo), a large pitcher for rinsing, and a towel. While a bathtub seems like a logical option, it will be easier to do it in the sink.

After the bath, dry the cat with a towel. If needed, you can use a hairdryer, but only if the cat isn’t afraid of it.
