I don't think so, because when they are kittens there mother carrys them by the neck, but you should always support an adult cat with a hand underneath them if they are carried. Don't grab them on the neck bone just the bit of meat on there neck, however, never hold a cat by the scruff as their own body weight can cause damage to their neck. If your cat is being bold don't carry them on the neck but touching there nose shows them that they are being bad.
