Sometimes you will need to pick up and move a cat, whether it's to put him in a cat carrier, keep him from causing trouble, or remove him from a dangerous situation. How you pick up and carry a cat depends on the cat's individual temperament. If you know the cat is friendly, then you can pick him up and rest him against your chest with his paws on your shoulder. For a cat you are not familiar with, it is safest to pick him up and hold him securely. Use the scruffing technique for feisty cats who don't like to be handled. | Sometimes you will need to pick up and move a cat, whether it's to put him in a cat carrier, keep him from causing trouble, or remove him from a dangerous situation.
