Safety: Carrying and holding your kitten
Mentor Q&A

My boyfriend picks our kitten (about 9 months old) up by the back of the neck because "that's what their mothers do." I tell him that Brixton is too old for that now. Is he? Is doing this hurting him in any way?

Can I put my kitten in a cage?

Are there a right way and a wrong way to pick up a kitten? Is picking them up by the scruff of the neck appropriate?
