Your cat may not like hugs very much. But sometimes you have no choice but to hold her, such as when trimming her claws or brushing her teeth. At this time, if you hold her incorrectly, she can get injured, and in severe cases she can get traumatized.
Let's find out what’s the wrong way to hold your cat and what’s the right way.

Mom cats sometimes grab their kittens by the neck. This is ok only when kittens are very light.

Cat belly is so soft and weak. So, cats think it is their weak spot because it's easy to be attacked.

So, if your cat is alert or anxious, she would never show her belly.
If you hold her on her back, while you have not yet earned her absolute trust, she will be nervous. To build enough trust with her is key and try this handling later.

When you move your hand under her body behind her front legs, check if she stays calm. Over and over again, let her get used to your touch.

After she gets used to your hand under her chest, put another hand under her butt. This is to make her safe. First, you place your two hands under her arm for a moment. Then, move your one hand to support her butt.

The next step is to make her more relaxed. It can vary from cat to cat. Find the most comfortable hugging posture for your kitty. She may prefer you to hold her against your chest or face you.

If your cat is too big and heavy, you can get her on your shoulder.
