Holding a cat like a baby is the ultimate goal

My first kitten did this weird thing where he would lean back, stretching out his paws all the way and just drape himself backwards, either on my lap or in my arms. Totally exposed belly, which yes, actually, he DID want pet. He grew to be super huge too (around 25lbs!) so he would be SUPER imbalanced when doing it in my arms, but he still wouldn't stop doing it, even at risk of falling. He was just a stretchy boi in general since he would also drape himself over my shoulder. Loved that weirdo.

lmao one of my tuxedo's rolls onto his back and squirms all over the floor to entice you to give him belly rubs

He was my first ever kitty when I was 11 years old. I'm 30 now. Would that they lived as long as we do.

I work at a doggy day camp and kennel and we have a small pitty mix who insists on this. He needs to be carried, and he will wriggle himself over immediately so he’s being carried like a baby and he’ll wag and kiss you the whole time you carry him. He’s a delight.

I’m assuming as a pit bull mix he probably weighs around 30-50 pounds so while that sounds ADORABLE my back is cringing.

He’s young and pretty small so I wanna say 40 pounds? Maybe less? He’s a big ol’ sweetie and basically me and all my coworkers are always clamoring to be the one to “hold the baby!” Lol

I never talk about my cat but she allows me to pick her up like a baby once a day when I come home for about 30 seconds. Then she’s off doing her own things. It makes my fucking day as a 27 year old man.

One of mine will do it for a minute or two, purring the whole time. It's so sweet!

The rest of the time he's 50 pounds of mischief in a 10 pound cat, so it balances out.

My orange dufus use to love being held like a baby. Then he got intestinal cancer. He’s still going strong but he would rather not flip over or get rough belly rubs anymore. Gentle belly pats and chest scritches are still welcome if you let him lay on his side.

Whenever my gremlin gets the zoomies at an ungodly hour, holding her like a baby for a while is the only way to get her to settle down

I baby-carry trained both of my kittens. They both let me hold them like that and I give them chin and face scratches.

I think (maybe it was last week's?) the one who steals his blind roommate's treats is the naughtiest of the year! Gadget definitely looks like a charmer ♥

My old dog used to do this,you could pick him up in anyway and he would just accept his fate so I would often pick him up like a baby and he'd just fall asleep.

Miss that little idiot
