Avoid salt. They'll usually wanna stick to grass, we have that on the shoulders or the sidewalk where I am anyway so its not a big problem. It's good to be able to scoop them up quick cause dogs and stuff can be an issue as well.
That's how to pick up kitties! Scoop em up my the back leg where it starts to meet the ground/butt depending on the angle and then hold em under the front paws with the other hand on the way up. They'll adjust themselves to get cozy
that seems excessive, and some of the assumptions it rests on include "i do not pay attention to signs that a cat is happy or unhappy" which is suggesting that i'm callous or stupid
Most four legged animals are really not into being flipped on their belly. It's where their vulnerable stuff is. Being shown a cat belly means they trust you. Also scooping them that way isn't good for their spines either
it not being good for their spines is new to me, and i can't find info on it online. i'm not trying to debate-bro you but if you have sources i'd be interested. if you don't i'm not going to assume you're wrong or making shit up, just something i'd like to know more about.
Well, cause of the directions spines bend on cats. They told in, not out, would you rather a giant lifted you up by your butt or flipped you over and picked you up by your back?

I can't see how they wouldn't! :meow-bounce:
the concept of scooping up a cat is delightful

i feel like i heard somewhere that my way is not as good, but i used to flip cats onto their backs and cradle them like a baby to hold them
That is definitely not as good and the cat I'm sure hated it
