I have a minor goal this year of getting my cat comfortable with me picking her up.
As of right now she super hates it.
So for the past week I have been picking her up (briefly...kitty's got claws) and setting her back down right in front of some nice soft food. This is something she super loves.
The goal is to associate the picking up with the noms so she gets more accustomed to it and lets me hold her someday.
Today she has figured out my clever ploy. She ran away from me four times while I was trying to subtly hoist her from the safety of the ground.
I will be trying again. But I wish my cat was a little dumber.
