Don’t rub the tummy
The woman in this photo appears to be in a good mood. She is displaying her tummy and seems to be enjoying herself. Perhaps it’s time for a tummy rub. Wait! Before making such a hasty decision, we’d think twice. It’s a trap. You will acquire scratch marks as a result of this scrape.
If your cat shows you its belly and appears to want affection, scratch behind their ears or around the cheeks instead. She may be trustworthy and calm, but don’t go for a belly rub, pet, or tickle if she seems hesitant. Belly rubs are somewhat more difficult for cats than dogs.
