Each cat has its own character, and this also applies to the animal’s sociability.
Some pets willingly go into people's arms and never leave their people's hands, while others will never accept affection.
Let's figure out 5 ways to help train a small kitten to sit in your arms.
5 Steps to Train Your Cat
Remember once and for all that nothing can be done against the cat's wishes. Therefore, you should approach training when it is well-fed and calm.
Feed the animal, then try to pick it up. Hold it for a few seconds and lower it to the floor.
You can proceed to the second step. You can train your cat to sit on your lap with a treat: put it on your leg and call the cat.
When the animal approaches, praise it and proceed to the third phase. Pick it up, holding it with one hand under the ribs and the other under the hind legs.
Don't forget that before all these manipulations the animal should already get used to your hands. And for this the cat should calmly react to your stroking and scratching.
You can try to train your kitten to sit in your arms while playing. For example, using its favorite toy: while catching the prey, pet the animal so that success gradually begins to be associated with you.
