- 1). Assess the situation of the cat. If training the cat or if the cat is behaving aggressively, only then should you pick up the cat by the scruff.
- 2). Grab the scruff of the neck as gently as possible with one hand.
- 3). Lift the cat off the ground only 4 to 5 inches. Any higher will put undue pressure on the cat's skin.
- 4). Keep the cat off the ground for about six seconds. This short amount of time is enough to gets the cat's attention and stop the unwanted behavior.
- 5). Put the cat gently back on the ground.
