Will it hurt to pick a cat up by its tail?

== == Yes it would hurt that cat since in the cat's tail there is a bone. That bone is also there to help the cat balance, so is the same with the cats whiskers. NEVER pick a cat up by it's tail. Can cause serious injury and breakage from the backbone.


What do you do if you pick up your cat from under its arms and meows in pain?

You could just have picked it up in such a way that you hurt the cat, but if you usually do this and it never caused this reaction, then I would take the cat in to your vet and have it checked out.


Is it mean to pick a cat up by its scruff?

The scruff of the neck cannot support the weight of an older kitten or adult cat; it will be painful for the cat and can cause injury to the cat's neck and spine. When picking up a cat, always support the back-end with one hand, and under the front legs with the other. This distributes the weight of the cat evenly and allows the cat to be comfortable. BTW-If your cat has a collar on, take it off before you pick it up by its scruff. You might tighten it by accident. If your cat has a small scruff, don't pick it up. If a cat is overweight or has arthritis, don't pick it up. Don't swing it back and forth, and put it down gently. Just saying, otherwise you'll hurt it.


Why can you pick up cats by the back of the neck and why does it not hurt?

Cats have an instinctual response called the nape response, where they go limp when picked up by the scruff of their neck; this mimics their mother moving them. It does not hurt because their loose skin in this area allows for their mothers to transport them without causing discomfort. However, it is important to support the rest of the cat's body when lifting them to avoid any potential harm.

Why does your cat growl and hiss when you pick him up when he's never done this for over a year in the time you have had him?

There could be many possibilities, but one is that the cat had a minor injury and when you pick it up the injury hurts and it is blaming you for the pain. It might be a good idea to take your cat to a veterinarian for an examination.
