Help a Cat Feel Comfortable Around Towels
A towel can be a soft resting surface and later part of gentle handling, but should not become a frightening restraint tool.
Set up a safe practice space
Choose a familiar clean towel with a comfortable texture and place it on the floor.
Put the equipment away when the cat is not participating, and choose a time without visitors or loud activity. Practice should feel predictable, never like a surprise procedure.

Signs it's time to pause
Never wrap a resisting cat tightly or restrict breathing. Necessary restraint should be handled by trained professionals.
Record a comfortable choice
Note which item or touch was introduced, the distance, the duration and whether your cat remained relaxed. Return to the same easy starting point next time. If the cat was unsure, reduce the intensity and allow extra time.
Can I train a cat to like being wrapped?
Some tolerate light contact, but wrapping should never be forced; comfort with a towel alone is useful.
