Runaway kitten

Question
I just recently got a kitten from a good friend of mine who also has his brother and a friendly, loving chiuahua.  She lives in the apartment complex right next to mine, and I have been walking over there, kitty in hand, and letting them all play together so he can get socialized.  They all love playing together, and I had no problem carrying him over there until today.  He got very mad at me, and squirmed and scratched and bit until I dropped him.  He ran away and I eventually got him, but I'm worried and don't want that to happen again, but I want to continue letting them play together.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Alyssa,

Most cats don't care much for being carried any distance. They like their feet on the ground. Plus anything can spook a cat...even one used to being carried. To be on the safe side take the kitten for his 'play dates' in a carrier.
