What is the safe way to pick up a pregnant cat?

[calismom]

I have to move cali around alot and im wondering if theres a certain way to do it. should I pick her up like normal or support her belly or what? I don't want to hurt her or the babies.

I would just pick her up like you would a kitten, one hand under her front legs (armpits) with the other hand on her rear end holding most of the weight. Have her rest the weight on your arm close to your body. That way, you aren't supporting her weight with a hand that is on her belly.

Hope that helps

Yes, pick her up under the armpits, and support her back legs with one hand.
Just make sure you don't pick her up near the babies, and you should be fine.
Good luck to Cali!!
