Tummy Rubs--A Poll

My little grey tabby Cheeks loves to have her belly rubbed. She is the first
cat I have ever had that likes this.

It was not something she revealed to me right away when I adopted her in
2001 at age 2. She had been with us for about three months when one night
during our nightly petfest when I was scritching her head and back she
rolled over on her side and lifted her leg up like it was on a hinge.
Because I had cats that did not like their bellies touched, I was surprised.
But I rubbed her pink little belly and she went all googly eyed and purred
up a storm. I think the great people at Snowflake Animal Shelter got her
used to this. She was said to have been a feral who had been at the shelter
for four months when I adopted her.

Does your cat like tummy rubs?

Marble is just a tart and he loves his belly rubbed. He loves having his
back legs up over his head whilst he gets the back of his thoughs rubbed.
Told you he was just a tart ;-) Francis loves his belly rubbed too - but he
goes into "longcat" mode and stretches out on the floor, on his side, so he
can get his belly rubbed.

Waffles is a highly refined ladycat who is extremely particular about who
she will allow to rub her belly and when. She is not a tart - unlike the
boys ;-)

Pan does. =o) He rolls onto his back, lifts up his little forelegs as if
he's begging, and purrs VERY hard. He also gives me the upside downy head
look as if to say "don't stop!" Francesca will tolerate it, but no farther
down than around mid-tummy. And she looks at me as if she thinks I'm taking
a tremendous liberty. =o)
Nina likes to be nuzzled, cuddled and kissed, but she's not crazy about
tummy rubs.

Very few of the cats who have owned me have permitted tummy rubs. Nanki-Poo
will tolerate it very briefly. Rudy (RB) used to love tummy rubs - for a
minute or two. Then, without warning, he protested with all claws and
teeth.

"Melissa Houle" had some very
interesting things to say about Tummy Rubs--A Poll:

Felix does the same thing Pan does.

Vino generally likes it. He stretches out and invites me to give him
a tummy rub. Sometimes it makes him playful though and then he bunny
kicks me lightly and halfheartedly gnaws on my hand. Then he jumps up
and runs away, looking behind him to make sure I'm chasing him. He
loves to be chased around the house and tummy rubs usually instigate a
good chase game.

Willow *looooovvvves* having her belly rubbed. She flops over on her side
when we come into the house ready for some quality tummy tickles.

Stinky loves 'em, too. You can do anything to his tummy. I sometimes
rub my face on it.

Cute, Helen! This is exactly what I thought when Cheeks first threw that
leg back! What a little tart!
