Absolutely do not lift an adult cat by the scruff...the weight is to much and can damaged muscles and nerves. Holding them by the scuff while their body is supported by your other hand, table, floor, etc. is fine. But don't lift by the scruff.

This.

I agree. There isn't a piece of paper or cardboard in my apartment that hasn't been christened by cat 'cheeks'. Once they've rubbed on the boxes, slept in it a few times and sat in it a LOT they move on to a new box.

OR you could bring home a way COOLER box that she likes better
