Holding a cat like a baby is the ultimate goal

My first kitten did this weird thing where he would lean back, stretching out his paws all the way and just drape himself backwards, either on my lap or in my arms. Totally exposed belly, which yes, actually, he DID want pet. He grew to be super huge too (around 25lbs!) so he would be SUPER imbalanced when doing it in my arms, but he still wouldn't stop doing it, even at risk of falling. He was just a stretchy boi in general since he would also drape himself over my shoulder. Loved that weirdo.

lmao one of my tuxedo's rolls onto his back and squirms all over the floor to entice you to give him belly rubs

He was my first ever kitty when I was 11 years old. I'm 30 now. Would that they lived as long as we do.

I work at a doggy day camp and kennel and we have a small pitty mix who insists on this. He needs to be carried, and he will wriggle himself over immediately so he’s being carried like a baby and he’ll wag and kiss you the whole time you carry him. He’s a delight.

FlowerFaerie13 t1_j17ttwi wrote

I’m assuming as a pit bull mix he probably weighs around 30-50 pounds so while that sounds ADORABLE my back is cringing.

batmanandboobs93 t1_j17u0ri wrote

He’s young and pretty small so I wanna say 40 pounds? Maybe less? He’s a big ol’ sweetie and basically me and all my coworkers are always clamoring to be the one to “hold the baby!” Lol

I never talk about my cat but she allows me to pick her up like a baby once a day when I come home for about 30 seconds. Then she’s off doing her own things. It makes my fucking day as a 27 year old man.

OSCgal t1_j15zh6v wrote

One of mine will do it for a minute or two, purring the whole time. It's so sweet!

The rest of the time he's 50 pounds of mischief in a 10 pound cat, so it balances out.

My orange dufus use to love being held like a baby. Then he got intestinal cancer. He’s still going strong but he would rather not flip over or get rough belly rubs anymore. Gentle belly pats and chest scritches are still welcome if you let him lay on his side.

Whenever my gremlin gets the zoomies at an ungodly hour, holding her like a baby for a while is the only way to get her to settle down

I baby-carry trained both of my kittens. They both let me hold them like that and I give them chin and face scratches.

I think (maybe it was last week's?) the one who steals his blind roommate's treats is the naughtiest of the year! Gadget definitely looks like a charmer ♥

WukongPvM t1_j17d0i1 wrote

My old dog used to do this,you could pick him up in anyway and he would just accept his fate so I would often pick him up like a baby and he'd just fall asleep.

Miss that little idiot

Kitty behavior bootcamp sounds about as useful as a helicopter ejection seat…

I actually have never heard that one so my brain went through the logical process of events thinking “where would it go wrong?”

“Ah, right about there”

"But hear me out... what if the ejector seat... is also a helicopter?"

Captain-Griffen t1_j17mg1t wrote

Fyi, helicopter ejection seats do exist, although they're not as simple as for planes.

Also, you can train cats, it's just harder because cats aren't as cooperative as dogs.

CatLover_801 t1_j16swku wrote

Nah, a helicopter ejection seat is much more useful

Jaimzell t1_j17t5o3 wrote

A lot less harmful to humans, that’s for sure.

Lol, helicopter ejector seat, haven’t heard that one before, made me push air quickly out of my nose

New Kitts on the Block, you say? What are their hit songs?

"The Bite Stuff"?

"Covered In Hair Girl"?

"I'll Be Scratching You (Forever)"?

"Hangin' Tough.... ON YOUR LEG!"?

(Yes, I'm old.)

I would LOVE to see an "animal of the week/month" subreddit. I know penguins have one but I want one for all animals. I love all of these.

Misswestcarolina t1_j15goin wrote

Both sound like exactly the same cat, just in different moods at various points in the day. And there’s no telling which you’ll get or why.

Ok-Supermarket9120 t1_j16dcui wrote

I hold one of mine like that, SOMETIMES...she was a rescue off a busy road when about 3 inches long. Probably feral. Anyway, she scratched and bit for months! Now she is somewhat tame. I pick her up to hug and kiss her and she gets mad. I tell her this is the price she has to pay for putting me thru hell raising this wildcat. I tell her I'll kiss her and hug her when I want. If she doesn't like, T O U G H!!!

Goddess-Fun2177 t1_j19iqu8 wrote

Hahaha!!! I do the same thing to my girl. She doesn’t like being kissed or hugged and she’ll let out this DRAMATIC “meowrawraw” thing 🤣 Gotta put up with it since I put up with you constantly knocking shit off dressers, table, windowsill.. EVERYWHERE! 🫣

I am glad I don’t live in proximity to the people who make this sign because I’d just bring home all the naughty cats and think “I can change them!”

Hey, I have one of each of these at home! One will lay himself in my arms like a baby, the other is sharp and spicy and has to be heavily sedated for vet visits. His file is marked "Very naughty kitty. Handle with gloves."

Whoa, keep away from that one. Even good tempered cats are part evil. I can't imagine how bad they would be when they're hellbent on world destruction.
