论猫奴的自我修养：正确吸猫指南，教你博得主子欢心

铲屎官们都期待自家猫主子温顺乖巧，能够随时抱在怀里撸个爽。但配不配合全要看猫主子的脸色。猫奴们该怎么做才能博得猫主子欢心呢？今天就跟大家聊聊，吸猫的正确方式。

大多数猫都乐意让人抱在怀里，不过前提是让它们感到安全舒服。如果猫主子总是挣脱你的怀抱，那一定是你哪里“惹猫嫌”了。

加拿大温哥华兽医布尔斯丁专门录制了一段教学视频，向我们展示了正确的抱猫姿势。

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，布尔斯丁建议铲屎官小心接近猫咪，让它闻闻你的手指或轻轻挠挠它的下巴。如果猫主子看起来欣然接受，你现在就可以抱起它。

“常规抱”

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.

布尔斯丁指出：“安全抱起猫咪的关键是让它们感到支撑。”假设你第N次想把猫咪从厨房台面上移开，把一只手放在它的胸口下方，另一只手放在腹部下方，轻轻提起。布尔斯丁称，这可以防止猫咪因试图接触地面踢腾后腿，这是造成划伤的最常见原因之一。

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.

不管你是将猫咪抱在臂弯中，还是试图阻止它逃跑，关键在于压住它。没错，就是这样。轻轻按住试图从你怀抱挣脱的猫咪。

“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.”

“不用担心会伤到它们，猫咪可是非常坚强的小猛兽，将猫咪按向你的身体不会对它们造成任何伤害。事实上，猫被紧紧抱住时通常会更有安全感。”

“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.

另一种姿势被布尔斯丁称为“抱球式”，将猫咪捞起，把头夹在你的胳膊和身体之间。一只手托着猫咪的腹部，另一只手托着猫咪的屁股。如果发生紧急情况，你需要迅速抱走你的宠物时，这个姿势是最佳选择。

“傲视群雄抱”

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.

如果你刚好有一只爱趴肩膀的猫咪，它们基本上可以自己爬上你的肩膀，但还是需要正确的抱猫技巧。一只手托着猫咪的屁股，当你准备把猫咪放下时，身体慢慢前倾，同时托着猫咪的屁股，直到它转过身跳到地上为止。

等一下！不要以为将猫主子抱在怀里就可以肆意蹂躏它了。撸猫也是非常讲究手法的，稍有不慎下场可能是这样：
