Ive rescued dozens of stray cats and re-homed them in the past and honestly cared for more than i can remember,handling them within the first 3 weeks is crucial!If they don't get handled within that early stage, they are most likely never going to be fully tamed, they still semi-wild and just use their human for food mostly :) I still love them all regardless.

I saved a kittens life after some crazy person threw 5 babies out in the woods across the street from my home. 4 were dead and I buried them and the last one wasn't in the same area. He must've managed one last meow cause I heard this little fella! Thank God! He'd been there for so long he was stuck to the ground! I couldn't help but cry in pain for this poor little guy! Well, he was 3 wks old the vet told me! And they also told me that I did save this kittens life! 😁💗 The reason I'm telling you all this is because he truly believes me to be his actual Mother! And I've learned what he likes and I've had to almost take on the mother cat time! From teaching him how to dig a hole to potty, wipe him with a damp cloth to clean him, and to love me back! Which the last was very easy! Because I can pretty much touch him or do anything to him and he loves it! I have learned that he loves it when I put my nose on his and I rub my nose against his and all over his head and he has to be touching me when we sleep! He is my little man! And he is thriving! I watch him learning how to get his eyes and paws in sync. He had a wobble head thing going on at first but is very good at paw/eye combos now! I'm so thankful that God put me in the right place at just the right time! Because this little guy, Bubba, has saved my life too! Thank you for letting me share this with you guys!

I find that the exposed belly is less an invitation for petting, more an invitation for playing. Just don't forget that cats have sharp claws and teeth, so, trying to play with them in this manner with your hand is likely to lead to some scratches even if you're careful. Best to get a feathery type toy and use it to tickle their belly instead and let them enjoy going after it.

My cat's used to go with me and my son on evening walks! One cat, Missy, who was breast feed by a dog for many years, thought she was a dog. She would flop on her back, in the gutter to strangers walking by, and to us as she adored belly rubs. If she could, she would have her belly rubbed all day. Usually my hand and arm got tired before then.

I've never met a cat that didn't like having it's belly rubbed.

So my grandparents have a small cat that they rescued as a kitten and have had for a few months now and I swear, she is one of the craziest cats I have ever met. She loves to roll over for belly rubs, she loves water and will even wash her paws, and her favorite activity is playing with hotweels. Not even joking. Whenever I come to their house after school she greets me at the door and sits on the stairs where the track is and waits for me to send some cars down. When I go to retrieve them from the bottom of the stairs she rubs up against my arm.

I love cats SO MUCH!!! :) I have two, my oldest is a rescue, and the other is one of her kittens from her only littler. Her baby, always greets me with a plop and roll to expose her belly. Honestly, she doesn't mind her tummy rubbed if I pay attention to other parts of her body while rubbing the tummy. The mother however, she just loves it all lol xD. She'll lie on her back with her front paws drawn up and back legs stretched out and let me rub her belly back and forth for... well... as long as I'll do it. I have spoiled and handled these cats excessively so they are very well behaved and do not scratch of play roughly. They also like when I 'groom' them, I will use the tip of my nose as they would use their tongue to clean one another. I'll rub my nose tip on them in the same places I see them cleaning one another. I honestly enjoy this, and so do they as it gets lots of purrs and kissy eyes. It's also a good way to bond with them I feel, as grooming is such a social behavior with them. If I had my own place I'd have kept the whole litter, unfortunately I couldn't :( But they all went to amazing homes! Did I mention I FRIGGEN LOVE CATS!

We have three cats. One we've nicknamed "Bi-Polar" as the only safe place to pet her is her head and chin, and it is definitely affection on her terms alone; she comes to you. Her sister does the rolling over on her back thing, doesn't mind if you rub her chest area but forget the belly; she'll go after you with all four feet. The third cat is a rescue kitty and we think must have been raised around a dog. She flops right over for belly rubs and loves them. Sweetest kitty I've ever had.

She loves to intimidate our 10 year old Beagle and any interaction with her has to be on her terms only. We nick named her the 'evil creature'. She stalks us and often 'attacks' us on the stairs. (Hit and run maneuvers.) If you don't feed her when SHE decides she needs to eat, she will bite us on the ankle. Evil. But she makes us laugh at her feeble attempts to 'kill' us. We act like we are her and say for her "I would kill you, but I have a feeding coming up ..." We let her out when SHE wants to go out and we let her in when She wants to come in -- which, by the way, is more and more frequent now. Even on a clear and sunny warm day she will come back to the door and cry to come in after only being out for, sometimes, 20 minutes. I think she does like being around us because we pretty much just leave her be. Our interaction with her is strictly on her terms and I think she does appreciate that. We don't have to have her be lovey dovey. It is enough for us to know that we saved her life. At least she does not claw after us. The claws can be worse than the teeth; and bites are quick -- like i said -- hit and run attacks. I really think it is her way of playing. Sometimes she just stares at us from a distance. Again we speak for her and say what we think she is thinking, '... what in the hell happened to them cats, man. They lost all their hair and they forgot how to walk on all fours and they are the worst jumpers I have ever seen; but yet they manage to hunt really well and share their kill with me. Hmm ..." How can you not love animals.

My cat loves a tummy rub and has never hissed or clawed at me or my young daughter. She is the most affectionate and chilled out cat I've ever owned. She comes when you call her, even if it's not for food, she plays fetch, she doesn't do the circling before lying down, she is always trying to sit on me before I've even settled into the sofa! She always greets us when we arrive home. She sits by your side all day if you're ill, she protects my daughter when she's sleeping, if you cry she runs her face against yours and stays by your side. She actually puts am arm around you if you're sad. When my daughter has had tantrums, instead of running from the noise she jumps on to her and my daughter has no choice but to stroke her and calms instantly. She's the best... I will never have another like her I'm sure.😻

My family and me just took in a stray cat that was living outside in December with no indication of anyone owning him, I have had him for barely two weeks but he purrs when I come close to him and he also rolls over when he sees me, He is the sweetest cat you will ever meet, and now he has a family to spend Christmas with!!!!!!

Yes. Everytime I come home from work. One of my cats always does it and it makes me happy. 😺

"This is not treacherous behavior." I love that caveat because yes, an exposed belly is so inviting! But pet there and yep, get attacked. Thank you for clarifying this is not indeed a ttrap set by the cat but simply an expression of relaxation and trust.

So cute! I've been in the hospital for almost a month and really miss my cat.

We have a rag dog mix and he rolls over whenever he sees anyone and LOVES belly rubs, he stretches out his legs and grooves on it from anyone. He is so chill.

Both my cats like their bellies being stroked. I think they trust me too much sometimes. The one thing they don't enjoy so much is being picked up.

We now have the only cat I’ve ever encountered who loves being petted all over, tummy included. She also follows us around, comes when we call, and has the loudest purr I’ve ever heard. Best cat ever.

Thank you for all the info

All three of my cats love having their belly petted. They like being petted pretty much everywhere. My tip would be to start petting them on their belly from kittenhood because this allows them to trust you from early life and that you’re not going to hurt them when you touch them there.

it frustrates me so much when people are like "I am entitled to my cat letting me do whatever I want to them" or "my cat exists to give my ego a boost and make me feel good about myself" no, cats are their own people and they deserve respect and autonomy :)

Always amazed when they say that cats don't like their belly touched. Every cat I've ever had has wanted their belly scratched when flipping down in front of me. They flip over, I pet, and each one seems content.

In 2000 I brought a 5 year old cat home from the RSPCA. I sat on the sofa and let him explore (after he'd come out from under a table!). Ten minutes later he jumped onto my knee and flipped over onto his back. I was amazed at that level of trust so soon.

We have a Grey Bobtailed stray where I live and he absolutely loves me. If he hears my voice he comes running to me, and rolls over and over, and sometimes wont stop till I DO rub his belly. He then closes his eyes curls up in front paws and purrs very loudly. XD

If our cat was wide awake when he rolled over it meant he wanted to play and would scratch the bottom of our slippers viciously, biting them as well (he got very upset if he missed the slipper and got our ankles). If he was sleeping or very relaxed when he rolled over he loved a massage of his upper chest and armpits. I say 'was' and 'used to' because he died of cancer almost two weeks ago. Nice to watch your video and remember how great our relationship with him was and what joy he brought to ours lives. (Although we are left with very raggy sofas).

Thank you so much. They are complex creatures. I need all the help I can get understanding them. And my other pets. They've proven their loyalty many times. Love your pet. Peace.

My cat does this most of the time if he has not seen me in an hour or so. I walk through the living room where he's sleeping and he rolls over and mews. I give him a light belly rub and he purrs away. The key is to be gentle.

You guys and these videos have helped me out as a new cat owner tremendously. Thank you, sincerely.

I hated cats until about 6 years ago I was never mean too them I can't even give a reason why I didnt like thrm. Well here I sit 6 years later we have 4 cats 2 males 2 females our oldest is just over 5 and shes the boss lol.

When my cats do this it means "rub my belly now!"

...but the fluffiest part is cats their belly. ^^

I had a dear tabby who loved having his belly rubbed, but he was more adventurous and intrepid than most cats and many humans in this regard. If you ever did a video on why tabbies are so uniquely adorable, I would be most grateful.

Every time I watch one of these informative videos on cats, I always have mine doing exactly what is being explained. I currently have one of my Bengals lying on his back on my lap having his tummy tickled. This one also does a drop and flop on the stairs continuing with a slinky down each step whilst I am trying to climb them. One day his affection is going to end in my death by tripping me up and letting me fall to my doom!

I agree with you 100% it is the biggest sign of trust for an animal to show you their belly. And it means they already love you if they don't know you yet and just a constant affirmation to their owners & others of how much they love you and trust you in their life. You have been acknowledged in a huge way when a cat or other small animals shows you their belly. They are very vulnerable when baring their bellies. They are showing us HUGE TRUST.

Found 2 years ago a bewildered (?) cat, waiting under my car. Very skinny, biting and scratching. I took him with me, because he did not want to go away. From the first day, he followed me every where like a dog and... was rolling on the ground many times while walking. He could not handle hands, so I waited for touching him till he wanted it. Now, after 2 years, I can touch him, he only make a bite movement to tell me that he needs to be free. It is an amazing intelligent cat and I love him.❤

I learned it's an expression of joy and lov

My housemates don't understand the cat at all and every single time the cat rolls over they go for the tummy rub and get bitten. I've tried to explain that showing belly is a show of trust and that to then touch the belly is a betrayal of that trust, but they apparently think I'm just making it up and that the cat is doing something wrong by acting in this way. I use how good men are with cats as a barometer of whether they're trustworthy, and my housemates clearly don't understand consent despite the cat doing his utmost to teach them about it with his teeth and claws. They also keep giving the cat milk, despite me repeatedly telling them cats are lactose intolerant, and that no matter how much the cat may enjoy milk, it's not good for him. I need better housemates.

Lol absolute truth!

My cat - "Kitty" - was originally a feral kitten . Twice, upon her having escaped outside for an adventure, I've heard her cry and rescued her from a couple of large feral toms cornering her her on the deck or in the yard. Both times, she'd race to me while they were frozen in concern at my presence, and roll back and forth happily at my feet with her tummy up. If I'm laying back in the recliner, she'll lay in my lap and actually enjoys rubbing her tummy as part of her 'full massage.' Kitty's uniqueness is part of her preciousness.

What an incredibly amazing creature!

He does these things and he gets much love and attention, like constantly 😁

They show their belly, sign of they love and trust.🐱❤️

One of my cats does this a lot. Most of the time she lets me pet it very lightly. She loves to greet me like that with her belly up, its so amusing. I also feel like she does it when she is very excited to be interacting with me, she wants more of my attention so she goes on her back and just lays there..waiting for me.

I stayed in an Airbnb where the host had a number of cats, one of whom was a very soppy beast who almost uniquely for a cat absolutely loved belly rubs! Couldn't get enough of them! Every other cat I've known didn't like it, but this one thought they were absolutely awesome!

My male cat doesn't like his belly touched, so when he rolls over I just pat his butt. Now my female cat, she likes soft long caresses along her tummy, she lays and purrs or falls sleep, as long as you're super slow and gentle.

My two baby's were with me through all my downs & ups for 21 & 22 years. God I miss them. Life isn't any good without a fur baby.

I used to have a cat that loves belly rubs. He was the sweetest cat in my heart.

My one cat rolls on her back, legs stretched out. She really does want her belly rubbed or massaged and allows it for a couple minutes. I’m careful to quit before she decides to correct me. I gave her long rubs when she got herself pregnant. She still loves it and I had her fixed before any more pregnancies.

my cat does this when he sleeps and when i come home

You could try it the other way round. I once made friends with a nervous cat by lying in the floor flat on my back. She came over at once, sniffed me from head to toe. From that moment on we were bonded. Sometimes you need to speak 'Cat' to make your point.

I'm in my chair right now and I have looked over and Tippn my cat is watching this. continue

I am NOT a cat person but a neighbourhood cat my daughter befriended is using sorcery to bewitch me into liking him. He walks into my house and if the door is closed will jump onto the windowsill and hit the glass with its paws to get my attention. He is using his dark arts on me and I am succumbing to his charms. He settled on my lap and we napped for 2 hours yesterday when I was ill. He butts me with his head until I rub and scratch his head and especially sides of his face. Why does he do that? Also I always put down water for him but he never drinks it. Do cats not need much? He doesn't seem to want cat food either but eats the treats up. Is special cat milk good?

When a cat head-butts you, that's like saying "you're part of my group", so it sounds like the cat you've semi-adopted has also adopted you! And of course, scratching/rubbing the cheeks is something most cats like from their People. Head-butting and cheek-rubbing his how they anoint you with their scent (though of course we can't smell it). Cats in general don't drink a lot of water (definitely less than dogs), they get much of their fluid requirements from their food; must be due to their ancient desert origins.

Some cats really like to drink water and some don't so much. It's just individual. They should always have clean water available, though. Don't let them get away with treats only. If they're hungry they will eat cat food. They don't have the enzymes to digest milk. It will give them diarrhea. I'm can't remember for sure, but I think goat's milk is okay. I have a cat who always insists on sharing my yogurt. You're very lucky this kitty has chosen you. He sounds like a great one. Look forward to one of the loves of your life.

My cat definitely has a few "homes" he was gaining weight. I now have to restrict his food at home. I don't know everywhere he goes so I can't track everyone down who is giving him treats. I would keep offering him the water. If you give any other food or drink he could gain weight which may be dangerous or you could stimulate an allergy he may have to something else. Keep enjoying his company 😻😻

Finally some good KZread recommendations

My cat loves being pet everywhere except her legs. Cheeks, chin, head, neck, back, paws, and her belly are all good to her! She also really likes rough pats at the base of her tail. She's so affectionate!

I've had four cats: Mikey - LOVES belly rubs (spends 80% of his time upside down). He also wags his tail, follows me around, plays fetch, loves to be held, and acts more like a puppy than anything else. Can't stay away from people. You can pick him up upside down or whatever and he doesn't mind at all (he likes any and all attention he gets). He howls if you close the door and don't let him spend time with you. Scared of outdoors or any unknowns. LOVES food. He's 6. Jasper - LOVES belly rubs but VERY cat like in his personality. Also likes to be held and we can pet him anytime. However, he's a recluse that spends 80% of his time alone. (is fine with Mikey most of the time but that cat's outgoing personality gets on Jasper's nerves sometimes (especially when Mikey howls)). Likes growling at neighbor dogs. Doesn't like the outdoors. Picky eater. He's 11. Ash - Was very playful and friendly. Doesn't like belly rubs as he always playfully pushes you away when you try to rub his belly. Liked using his back claws when playing (but did not try to hurt you) and LOVED the outdoors. He would playfully naw on your hand but never hard enough to hurt. Unfortunately he was very adventurous and fearless. When my youngest sister accidentally didn't latch the gate to the backyard we lost him to a pitbull that pushed the gate open. He was 10. Jordan - My oldest sister's cat. This was the first cat I had and only had it for five months at age 10 when my sister who had moved out could not take the cat to an apartment. The cat was VERY independent and it would bring home dead animals all the time and he would run away for days. He would hiss and bite with little provocation. I did not spend much time with him after he bit me (still don't know why). He had been a feral cat for awhile and spent most of his time roaming the streets. After my sister took him back he was hit by a car a couple years later. Rubbing this cat's belly was out of the question unless you wanted to get clawed or bitten. He liked to be petted but would instantly turn aggressive when he was done with the petting. Every cat is VERY different!
