To help your kitten get used to being held, start by gently picking them up for short periods of time and gradually increasing the duration. Use positive reinforcement like treats or praise to create a positive association with being held. Be patient and gentle, and respect your kitten's boundaries if they show signs of discomfort. Gradually, your kitten will become more comfortable with being held.

Can you pick up kitten when their eyes are open?

Yes, and you should do so regularly to get the kitten used to being handled by people. You should slide one hand under the kitten's chest and belly to lift (don't use the scruff of the neck) and place the kitten where you can pet it but all four of its feet are braced against something - your arm, your chest, your shoulder, your lap, whatever. Cats feel more secure when their feet are on a solid surface, which will make your kitten happier to be held and petted.

What can you do to bring an outdoor kitten to like being an indoor kitten?

Since it is already used to living outdoors it will possibly take some time for the kitten to get used to being indoors. Cats are very curious creatures, so it may take several weeks or even a few months for a cat to get used to an indoor environment. You can make this transition easier on your kitten by lavishing attention on him or her as much as you can; lots of playtime will distract your kitten and will strengthen the bond you have. It is certainly not cruel to keep a cat or kitten indoors, providing it has enough mental and physical stimulation. Toys, scratching posts, activity centres, even treat balls all stimulate a cat and keep it from being bored. If your kitten scratches at the door during this transition, you can rub citrus on the door (many cats dislike the smell of citrus greatly), or stick double-sided sticky tape or foil to the door as a way of discouraging such behaviour. Never punish or chastise the kitten. Chastising the kitten for destroying your furniture will serve no purpose other than to make it afraid of you. An alternative method is to use a harness on your kitten, so it can still go outside, but is completely safe as you are on the other end of the leash. A more expensive route is to cat-proof the fences or build a cat run, so your kitten may enjoy being outside but can do so without the many dangers that too many cats face while being outside.


Will a 4 month old kitten that keeps attacking an 11 week old puppy that is not scared of the kitten and plays with it learn to live together?

With proper supervision and training, the kitten and puppy can learn to coexist peacefully. It's important to provide positive reinforcement when they interact calmly and intervene if the kitten's behavior becomes too aggressive. Gradually exposing them to each other in controlled settings can help them build a positive relationship over time.
