How should I hold a kitten?
Kittens are timid, so hold them gently against your chest like a baby and settle them comfortably. For an adult cat, support the hindquarters with one hand and the chest or front legs with the other, or let it rest on your shoulder so its belly is hidden and it can leave if uncomfortable.
Are Hairless Guinea Pigs Hard to Care For?

Start at a distance and read the cat's mood—soft eyes and a relaxed body mean it's open; a lowered body, hiss, or airplane ears mean back off. Crouch to seem smaller, avoid direct staring, and blink slowly. Food, a gentle voice, and head/chin strokes build trust.

How to Keep Your Dog Calm During Car Rides
Dogs often fuss in the car because the motion makes them carsick or they need to relieve themselves, eat, or drink.
