I mean, Youtube has randomly served me up a bunch of videos of Gen Z holding cats up to the camera like that, cradling the spine in both hands, upside down, paws in the air, head dangling, jowls kind of hanging open, pointed at the camera like a super soaker. I don’t think I ever saw anyone hold a cat like that before 2025.
Yeah I just…hope he doesn’t hurt her spine. She’s an adorable kitty and I know he means well for her, but it would un-knot my stomach if he’d bounce her around less like that.
I don’t think it does! I’ve asked a vet if holding a cat like a baby (on it’s back but cradled) is okay and she said it was fine as long as the cat was fine with it. So probably if the cat did mind, it would stop right quick!
It’s like trying to get toast to land buttered side up. It’s not something you see often so when you get the chance.

I know like two people on shorts that do that but I would not be surprised if more. Nanaki is a dingus cat and I love him?
There’s one zoomer who named his tuxie cat Layla.
Oh Layla yes. She was the second cat I’ve seen. She’s also a good very pampered cat!

There’s cradled on the back like a baby and then there’s one hand on the shoulders, one hand on the rump, waving around in mid-air.
Let the record show I’m in favor of being careful with feline backbones.
