But he only said he scruffed them (if I am reading it right), not that he grabbed them by the scruff, is this apparently something that is considered abusive or something? If a cat claws at my leg and I pinch there to make it stop that is absolutely not the same as grabbing them there. I would never actually try lifting them that way.
It doesn't work on all the cats, though. ~~Also, I heard that it's not painful for a cat to be lifted that way, but~~ I would prefer not to.
