Cats Licking Stomachs: The Ultimate Petting Guide!
1. Individual Differences in Cats
(1)Not All Cats Are Fans of Tummy Rubs
Some cats absolutely detest having their bellies touched, while others may tolerate it, but only for a limited period.
(2)And then there are those that accept it, but with specific conditions—such as the method, pressure, or even the speed of the petting.
Once the cat's tolerance threshold is exceeded, the cat owner might be greeted with a display of paws, claws, and even a bit of biting. For instance:
Upon returning home to see a fluffy, chubby cat lounging on the bed, a surge of desire to "torture" it with affection fills your heart. With a swift and fiery motion, you rush over to give it a series of rapid strokes. Little did you know, you've just perfectly ignited the cat's—hunting instinct! The cat's reflexes are quick, and it responds instinctively to your actions!
2. The Meaning Behind Cats Rolling Over

3. Navigating the Balance as a Cat Owner

(2)And if the cat's tail starts to flick, it's a clear sign to stop petting.
Your cat's trust in you doesn't equate to unlimited patience. If you惹怒了它, it won't hold back. As a cat owner, it's crucial to have a deep understanding of your feline companion. Discovering which part to pet, for how long, and with what amount of pressure—all these require careful observation and experience over time.
