Why do cats go limp if held by the scruff of their neck?
Can you tell me why do cats go limp if held by the scruff of their neck?
This instinctive response is believed to be a carryover from kittenhood when their mother would pick them up by the scruff to move them. It is a reflex that causes a cat to relax and become passive in order to not harm themselves while being carried.
