Handling and identification

HANDLING AND IDENTIFICATION

Handling

Hold the loose skin at the back of the neck with one hand and hold him with the other, while you talk to him.
If it is necessary to pick up a cat with one hand only, place your open hand right under its chest and make sure you can lift it comfortably without clutching, so that it feels safe.

Identification

Cats are usually identified by the colour and pattern of their fur. or they are housed singly, by a cage label.
Expanding collars may also used but these must be adjusted as the kitten grows and must 'chew proof'.
The danger of using non‑expanding collars is that may become Caught in loose fittings and consequently injure the cats.
