To stop your kitten from growling when you pick her up, ensure that she feels secure and comfortable. Start by letting her come to you and gently pet her before lifting her, using treats and positive reinforcement to create a positive association with being held. Practice short, calm handling sessions and gradually increase the time you hold her, always watching for signs of stress. If she continues to growl, give her space and avoid forcing interactions until she's more comfortable.
