a.. If your cat is in the habit of rolling over and exposing his stomach,
you can be sure he feels perfectly safe with you. It's also a way of
demonstrating his pleasure in your company.

He loves me, he really loves me!

Probably so -- just do not try to pet his belly when he is in this
position.


Two of my cats (one girl, one boy) love to get belly rubs when they're
in that position.
My Mom's cat (boy) loves it, too. Our dear departed Tom also loved it.

Depends on the cat. My one girl will let you know quite vocally that she
doesn't much appreciate it. If she didn't like me a LOT, she'd bite (she
has a nice big 'I BITE' in red on her vet chart). As it is, she just
protests and rolls back over. I can rub her face when she's on her back,
just not her tummy.

My "Maine Coon like" cat has I CLIMB THE SCALE on his vet chart.
Every time we go to the vet he has to jump on top of the scale. There
is only about two inches of space for the big boy to balance on at
the top of the scale so he gets stuck. As the vet tech said "he is so
funny".
My tuxedo cat will let you rub his tummy, but when he wants you to
quit he will grab you with all four paws and push your arm away with
his back legs. He is real polite with his claws.(he does not extend
them)
