No, it definitely is not! Not only will doing this further upset the cat, you could also injure it or it could even hurt itself trying to get away from you. On that note, you could also get hurt if the cat bites or scratches. If your cat is upset, the best thing to do is let it go and leave it alone until it calms down on its own.

What calms down cats?
I have an extraordinarily feisty and high tension cat. I don't know what the causes of your cat's fears are, but some of the things that help me calm down my little fighter are: Putting him in one of his favorite spots--on the bed pillows or the cat "chair" near the desk. Singing or humming lullabye-style songs to him Stroking him from his nose to the back of his head Curling up near him--near enough to touch but not smother--and just placing one hand near his head or paws so he has the scent of me and can touch if he needs to Acting normal, but low key. I don't run the vacuum, watch screaming horror flicks or anything loud and I make sure my movements are abrupt or sudden, but if I am behaving normally--e.g., fixing dinner, playing on the computer, etc.--it seems to reassure him his life is normal too. If I get upset or, worse, anxious with him because he's acting upset, it just makes him worse. Hope that helps.
How do you give a cat oral antibiotics when they have a cone on their head so that you can't hold their head?
I lift my cat up and cradle it in my left arm. Then I grasp my cat by the back of the neck with left arm (not the head). I then insert the medicine in the syringe quickly into the cats mouth with my right hand. Cats don't like this, but I hold on until the cat has swallowed the medicine. This usually works.If your cat has a cone on its head it makes it more difficult and awkward, but you still have to do it. You may need help. Have someone help you while you hold the cat.My male cat recently got sick and wouldn't eat. I gave him the medicine as described and he came out of it in a couple of days.

What food makes a cat purr?
Cats purr usually when they are happy and content, but cats do use purring also to calm others, a dying cat may purr just to calm itself too. A cat may purr while eating if he really likes the food, so his favourite food will propably be the one to cause purring to occur. Do note, that not all cats purr when they eat. It is quite an achievement to do two things at once with your throat.

Driving across country with a cat?
It is best to telephone your vet about this. If your cat is not use to traveling or just nervous in a car or van, there are sedatives that can calm the cat down. Try taking the cat in the vehicle for 2 block drives at first and make the drives more lengthly if the cat seems calm. Also a proper cat cage with a blanket is best and keep the cage turned so that the cat can see their owner or owners or hear their voices (this will help calm them down.)
