論貓奴的自我修養：正確吸貓指南，教你博得主子歡心

鏟屎官們都期待自家貓主子溫順乖巧，能夠隨時抱在懷里擼個爽。但配不配合全要看貓主子的臉色。貓奴們該怎么做才能博得貓主子歡心呢？今天就跟大家聊聊，吸貓的正確方式。

大多數貓都樂意讓人抱在懷里，不過前提是讓它們感到安全舒服。如果貓主子總是掙脫你的懷抱，那一定是你哪里“惹貓嫌”了。

加拿大溫哥華獸醫布爾斯丁專門錄制了一段教學視頻，向我們展示了正確的抱貓姿勢。

先套近乎

First, Dr. Burstyn advises pet owners to approach with caution, letting the cat sniff your fingers or giving her some gentle tickles under the chin. If the cat seems receptive, you can now pick her up.

首先，布爾斯丁建議鏟屎官小心接近貓咪，讓它聞聞你的手指或輕輕撓撓它的下巴。如果貓主子看起來欣然接受，你現在就可以抱起它。

“常規抱”

Dr. Burstyn notes that “the key to picking up a cat safely is to make them feel supported.” Let’s say you want to remove your cat from the kitchen counter for the thousandth time: Place one hand under the cat’s chest, another under the abdomen, and lift gently. This prevents the cat from kicking its hind legs in an attempt to gain ground, which is one of the most common causes of scratches, Dr. Burstyn says.

布爾斯丁指出：“安全抱起貓咪的關鍵是讓它們感到支撐。”假設你第N次想把貓咪從廚房臺面上移開，把一只手放在它的胸口下方，另一只手放在腹部下方，輕輕提起。布爾斯丁稱，這可以防止貓咪因試圖接觸地面踢騰后腿，這是造成劃傷的最常見原因之一。

Whether you’re holding a cat in your arms or trying to stop them from running away, the key is cat squishing. Yes, really. Gently press down on a cat that’s trying to wriggle its way out of your grasp.

不管你是將貓咪抱在臂彎中，還是試圖阻止它逃跑，關鍵在于壓住它。沒錯，就是這樣。輕輕按住試圖從你懷抱掙脫的貓咪。

“You don’t have to worry about hurting a cat. They’re very tough little beasts and just squishing them against your body is never going to do them any harm. In fact, they tend to feel more safe and secure when they’re being held tightly.”

“不用擔心會傷到它們，貓咪可是非常堅強的小猛獸，將貓咪按向你的身體不會對它們造成任何傷害。事實上，貓被緊緊抱住時通常會更有安全感。”

“抱球式”

There’s another hold that Dr. Burstyn calls the “football carry,” which involves scooping up the cat so that its head is tucked between your arm and your torso. One hand supports its abdomen while another supports its bottom. This is best for emergency situations when you need to move your pet quickly.

另一種姿勢被布爾斯丁稱為“抱球式”，將貓咪撈起，把頭夾在你的胳膊和身體之間。一只手托著貓咪的腹部，另一只手托著貓咪的屁股。如果發生緊急情況，你需要迅速抱走你的寵物時，這個姿勢是最佳選擇。

“傲視群雄抱”

And if you happen to have a “shoulder cat”, they’ll do most of the work themselves by climbing onto your shoulder, but there’s still a proper holding technique. Support their butt with one hand, and when you’re ready to put them down, slowly lean forward while still supporting their bottom until they twist around and hop back on their feet.

如果你剛好有一只愛趴肩膀的貓咪，它們基本上可以自己爬上你的肩膀，但還是需要正確的抱貓技巧。一只手托著貓咪的屁股，當你準備把貓咪放下時，身體慢慢前傾，同時托著貓咪的屁股，直到它轉過身跳到地上為止。

等一下！不要以為將貓主子抱在懷里就可以肆意蹂躪它了。擼貓也是非常講究手法的，稍有不慎下場可能是這樣：
