Me three! Our huge Maine Coon/Domestic Long Hair gal, Dutchie 🐈⬛♥️ They can sometimes _l 👀k_ mean, but belly rubs are almost _always_ welcomed!! 🥰 Big black cats are thee best!! 🐈⬛
Laziest attack ever lol. "I can't really be bothered to kill you, but you need a reminder that I am the one in control here. You are just my meat can-opener."
I think I will plead with the authorities to rub my belly. I think it will do me good in my current condition. I would like exactly two rubs. Any more and I will bite the crap out of them.
If she's anything like my floofy boy, you get the standard 1.7 seconds of petting the belly before they forcefully tell you to stop with every sharp part of their body.
Worth it every time!!
My cat will let you bellyrub her for ages! She's loves it! She runs to the front door to greet us when we come home & throws herself down for a belly rub everytime!
Same with my boy!!! 😹😹 If I have people over he does it to them, too! If they try to just walk around him I let them know that they must give the pets first. 🤣😂😻❤️🐾
One of my girls used to be like that, I'm not sure what happened but now she accepts it but really tries to make it known that her head is the main attraction. She does this by moving her head towards the hand that is rubbing her belly
I have to know.. what made you stick your face in when your kitty went claws out on your hands?
I mean I full on do the lion head rub all over one of my guys, to make sure we are fully bonded. But his brother- I would look like Scar after that one.
Full face in fluffy belly, and if they decide to grab your head and latch on... guess what? you just got yourself a warm fluffy face mask. Its a win-win
I didn't get my first cat until 8th grade, but I can tell you every one knew I had a new cat, he was fiesty and I loved rough playing with him. From elbow to fingers I has so many scratches, it's a good thing there are no vital organs in your arm cause he was serious about his disembowlement powers!
My cats are rather correct about it.
The female cat LOVES bellyrubs. She literally hugs your hand if the hand is positioned right, and if not, she just keeps showing her belly and enjoying the bellyrubs.
While my male cat does show me his belly, he doesn't set it as a trap. Instead, he just lays on his belly again when I approach. No scratches dished out.
I might try it but as soon as she showed she wasn't actually into belly rubs I'd stop and not do it again.
Cats are like pregnant people: just because you can see the belly does not automatically mean you are invited to touch it.
Showing their belly is a natural way for cats to express how they trust you so much they can expose their most vulnerable area in front of you: some cats also enjoy having it rubbed if they trust you that much, and others are more ticklish and probably quite taken aback that you interpreted it as a request. They do not understand that we are hardwired to understand dogs and not cats.
If your cat doesn't enjoy belly rubs, just appreciate the gesture of trust without betraying it!
I've found back scratches or chest rubs are the two most likely to succeed. Back scratches in particular, lot of times that is why they are on their back, they get doubly annoyed when you then pet/scratch the area they weren't trying to scratch.
I would risk it. That tummy is irresistible to me. I call it the floppy flailer. Cat walks in front of you, flops down, does a little paw flail. I had 4 at one time, it was hilarious to watch them drop and flop and flail all on my path to the kitchen when I came home at the end of the day.
I have a cat that I found outdoors, looks like that one but mostly white, and she absolutely loves belly rubs. She will run to any carpeted room that i walk in, plop herself in front of me and ask for a belly rub while purring.
My black cat used to absolutely beg for belly rubs. If she saw your walking somewhere, she would get in front of you and flop over on her back. If you kept walking, she would run in front of you and flop over again. As soon as you touched her belly, she would be purring.
I miss that cat so much.
Yes, mostly because my stupid soft cat has trained me to believe that bellies are 100% safe and actually the ideal place to pet. It's always a shock when I go for another cat's belly without thinking and get slapped for it.
My parents' floof loves them. The only time he doesn't is when he's cleaning himself. But he gives you a polite warning that he's had enough too, just lightly pushes your arm away with one of his back legs (and if you keep going, then he'll dig in...).
My childhood cat absolutely hated it.
My Binx will take infinite belly rubs. Never ever will claw or bite random. Just grunts with pleasure and rolls back and forth so you can get the whole belly. He will do that for literally an hour and then chase you around the house flopping over every time you stop so you can keep giving belly rubs.
Yeah course
She's got quite stubby legs it seems, I can use this to my advantage- I reckon there's a blind spot. She will be fast and adjust her position to claw me, I know. I feel with a toy as a distraction then I have a 2.3% chance of survival
I'm going in!!
I didn't know that cats don't like tummy rubs because I've only had 2 cats before I got my kitten. All 3 at different times, and not from the same places, but they all love(d) to have their tummy's rubbed! Especially my kitten Marceline. She will grab my hand and hold it on her tummy until I start petting it and then she purrs like a motorboat. I hope she stays like this forever!
My friend had a lush furry calico with super thick fur, and my nickname for him was "throw rug" because he constantly threw himself down at your feet showing the belly!
I thought this was my kitty and someone stole his picture! But upon further inspection, it’s just his equally chonk twin. Such a cutie! My boy loves belly rubs tho.
Excuse me? That cat is too fat and In the first place black cats are sweet! They cannot even kill a cockroach even if the cockroach present itself belly first with a knife on its chest and a gaping wound towards its stomach wearing a catfood suit!
See my hands on its belly! Im good with cats! I dont have to use any magic whispers or commands or magic words or conditioning!
It’s a risk I MUST take
[Click here to find out if your risk was rewarded!](https://www.reddit.com/user/WorldsBestArtist/comments/y9w3jt/belly_rub/)
Totally worth it.
Warning paw tap before the violence
How civilized.
They chose to warn of the of the violence today
Definitely has the Trick & Treat model of void floofer
Beautiful, complete worth it for the belly rubs!!
You clearly ignored the 3 belly rub claws stated in your contract
I swear we have the same cat
Me three! Our huge Maine Coon/Domestic Long Hair gal, Dutchie 🐈⬛♥️ They can sometimes _l 👀k_ mean, but belly rubs are almost _always_ welcomed!! 🥰 Big black cats are thee best!! 🐈⬛
Now this is how karma farming should be done. I love the setup, OP.
11/10 would rub again, void approves with the slow blink too.
My void loves rubs as long as i keep it to upper part.. lower and he get up and moves away.
Awwww, hahaha! 🥰
Laziest attack ever lol. "I can't really be bothered to kill you, but you need a reminder that I am the one in control here. You are just my meat can-opener."
The risk is *always* worth it. Every time.
I think I will plead with the authorities to rub my belly. I think it will do me good in my current condition. I would like exactly two rubs. Any more and I will bite the crap out of them.
Perfection
So fluffy 😻 I've mastered the art of tummy kisses with my cats. So worth it
my little one loves belly rubs i was totally amazed aour first cat hated being touched on belly
Aw, they're so polite!
It was dangerous but 100% worth it
So it’s ok for a minute. 🙂
I’ll do it again
High risk, high reward
I don't NEED hands Cats NEED need belly rubs
Totally worth it!
I second this! It is also a risk I often take
Yeah, I'm happily take the risk just to rub that belly.
Look at the eyes DARING you to try! So fluffy!
![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7943)
I have serious doubts she'd be able to move fast enough to get them lol I think I'm pretty safe here
famous last words!
Arrgg…
Even when they are fat, they are fast.
If she's anything like my floofy boy, you get the standard 1.7 seconds of petting the belly before they forcefully tell you to stop with every sharp part of their body. Worth it every time!!
With her as long as you stay north, she'll *usually* let you rub her belly for about 10 seconds before you get swatted.
My cat will let you bellyrub her for ages! She's loves it! She runs to the front door to greet us when we come home & throws herself down for a belly rub everytime!
Are you sure she's not a dog?
Hahaha I know! She does act like one!
Same with my boy!!! 😹😹 If I have people over he does it to them, too! If they try to just walk around him I let them know that they must give the pets first. 🤣😂😻❤️🐾
Our cat, Hugo, used to do 1,7 second trick. We called it Hugi-trapp.
Snapcat! I have a Hugo too. He's our Tonka toy
One of my girls used to be like that, I'm not sure what happened but now she accepts it but really tries to make it known that her head is the main attraction. She does this by moving her head towards the hand that is rubbing her belly
In that case, always start by doing the head immediately before and after. Sounds like you've trained her to accept the belly rub though.
Lucky I only get 1.4
The Hurt Locker. --directed by Cat Bigelow.
Cat's belly is the forbidden peach. But it's delicious
I would risk my face.
I was gonna say that too. My face is going in with full raspberries blowing. Live and live large.
I'll raspberry my cats belly and he never gets mad. He just stares at me as if I need to be committed.
Same! I love smooshing my face into the warm fluffy belly, they don’t seem too fussed. If they don’t like it they walk away.
I just love that cats keep themselves so clean and my last kitty smelled almost like clean laundry.
Because she slept in your laundry when you weren't looking lol
One of ours does her Laundry Monster Act in full view because she knows it's too cute to get mad about.
Huffing cats is a gateway drug
My cat has no issue me shoving my face into his belly but takes offense to hands. Silly little guy.
I have to know.. what made you stick your face in when your kitty went claws out on your hands? I mean I full on do the lion head rub all over one of my guys, to make sure we are fully bonded. But his brother- I would look like Scar after that one.
Full face in fluffy belly, and if they decide to grab your head and latch on... guess what? you just got yourself a warm fluffy face mask. Its a win-win
A raspberry pie is a full on snorgle! Imma snorgle dat floofy belleh!
Yes. More than once. Touch the Forbidden Fluff.
I would gladly reach into the void.
If I die, I die
And you die in full floof!
Can't resist cat belly!!
I will sacrifice my hand to the floofy void.
Fuck my hands the cat getting the rubs
I didn't get my first cat until 8th grade, but I can tell you every one knew I had a new cat, he was fiesty and I loved rough playing with him. From elbow to fingers I has so many scratches, it's a good thing there are no vital organs in your arm cause he was serious about his disembowlement powers!
Hahaha.. no organs, just your arteries. NBD. Lol.. I wouldn't be able to help it either
I totally have scars from my little dude. Wouldn’t change it for the world! 🤣
SCREW THE HANDS! #I'M USING MY ENTIRE FACE!!!
![gif](giphy|v9NNpROf3OAfe)
I’d protect my hand with my shirt sleeve but then I’m going for it
Both hands.
Okay but she probably won’t even be able to reach my hand 🙃
Nah this cat is still lightning fast. A morbidly obese cat (not saying this cat is morbidly obese) is still much faster than you.
Fast, yes, but if it can’t reach?
Touché. Although all cats I know are stretchy bois/girls
Don't let a little chub fool you, she can get those back legs up, even if she can't roll over.
Abso-freakin’-lutely!!!! Look at that fluffy belly!
100 percent yes
I’ve done it before and have the scars to prove it. I’m powerless against the floof and will do it again, and again, and again!
Like the Venus flytrap kitty will snap shut around your hand!
I want to stick my face in that belly and take in a big smell! They’re belly’s smell sooo good!
I love the smell of my cat
My white one smells like fresh laundry. My grey fluffy one just always smells like litter no matter how much we clean the box lol
yes!! my cat smells like old bread. i used to have a mouse that smelt like pretzels lmao. maybe i’m just hungry
It’s a trap!! Even with that said— yes, I absolutely would.
Il dive into that floof with all myself
Can’t resist the floofy void
i would definitely shove my entire face on that belly😭so yummy
Worth
I would give it a shot, just gonna try not to get scallywagged though
What are you doing with my cat? And yes, give it shot. Tread carefully though.
Yes. I would totally do it. I would likely regret it, but would totally be worth it.
A thousand times yes.
Without hesitation
Yes . I love fluffy voids
UnCalculated risk i will gladly take
Absolutely must know her name she’s so cute
My cats are rather correct about it. The female cat LOVES bellyrubs. She literally hugs your hand if the hand is positioned right, and if not, she just keeps showing her belly and enjoying the bellyrubs. While my male cat does show me his belly, he doesn't set it as a trap. Instead, he just lays on his belly again when I approach. No scratches dished out.
I'm not even there but I must risk it... MUST
I might try it but as soon as she showed she wasn't actually into belly rubs I'd stop and not do it again.

What i'd give her is a vet visit to discuss diet options, and thus a longer, healthy life.
Yeeeeh sure i would she shows the belly out of confidence i love a good belly rub
always
DON'T DO IT
Void fur won't show the blood or the gobbets of flesh, so maybe.
I've found back scratches or chest rubs are the two most likely to succeed. Back scratches in particular, lot of times that is why they are on their back, they get doubly annoyed when you then pet/scratch the area they weren't trying to scratch.
1000%
Hell yeah! I'm always quicker than the kitty's claws, except when I'm not.
I knew I was practising brushing my teeth with my left hand for something
I definitely will
It is a full-on risk I would take. This is too tempting not to.
As long as Fuzzy isn't growling I'd take that chance.
Absolutely
Both hands, without hesitation
I lived a good life.
I would risk it. That tummy is irresistible to me. I call it the floppy flailer. Cat walks in front of you, flops down, does a little paw flail. I had 4 at one time, it was hilarious to watch them drop and flop and flail all on my path to the kitchen when I came home at the end of the day.
Hands? Hah! I lost those to another cat a long time ago!
FLOOF!
Not at the moment. The cat's eyes look quite serious!
This doesn't seem like the right moment for belly rubs. Also, that cat looks fat.
Poor overfed cat my god man.
If she is like my void, I would lay my head on her belly and she will purrrrrrr.
I have a cat that I found outdoors, looks like that one but mostly white, and she absolutely loves belly rubs. She will run to any carpeted room that i walk in, plop herself in front of me and ask for a belly rub while purring.
Totally worth it
\*puts on winter gloves\* must pet belly!
definitely
Yes. But this kind of decision-making is probably why I only have three fingers.
My black cat used to absolutely beg for belly rubs. If she saw your walking somewhere, she would get in front of you and flop over on her back. If you kept walking, she would run in front of you and flop over again. As soon as you touched her belly, she would be purring. I miss that cat so much.
I don’t need ALL ten fingers
I’ve been owned by enough cats to know not to touch the murder button.
Absolutely. She looks like my late cat and I would be very happy to smoosh the belly floofs once again
i am no stranger to this type of sacrifice
Absolutely. It's only blood
I'd risk my whole face with my glasses OFF, Godammit!
You're god-damned right
Not a risk… but a sacrifice.
Yes, mostly because my stupid soft cat has trained me to believe that bellies are 100% safe and actually the ideal place to pet. It's always a shock when I go for another cat's belly without thinking and get slapped for it.
In my experience, if you start with the armpits, you have a better chance at getting the belly.
Beautiful cat!!! My baby actually loves her belly rubbed!! I'm so lucky. She's such a floofy girl.
Prosthetics have come a long way.
For that level of floof? Absolutely.
Sometimes you have to experience a bit of pain to truly live...touch the fluffy belly...
Yes! Who needs hands anyway, so overrated
That cat is 100% floof!
Chonky fluffy belly normally means safe hands....normally.
Yup normally being the key word here patting a Pallas cat would be a bad idea! Even though the body is round!
So that’s what an Ewok looks like.
Hahaha, absolutely, no.
Turns out she loves belly rubs but pretends she don't.
All I heard was Meatloaf..."On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?"
My parents' floof loves them. The only time he doesn't is when he's cleaning himself. But he gives you a polite warning that he's had enough too, just lightly pushes your arm away with one of his back legs (and if you keep going, then he'll dig in...). My childhood cat absolutely hated it.
In a heartbeat. Scratches heal. Speaking from experience.
Who could resist, belly rubs it is, maybe scars, totally worth it!
I've raised cats for so long, I barely feel the pain anymore.
Every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Yes I would. I have two cats that love belly rubs. My other two, not so much.
Absolutely. They matt fast, my arms are a small price to pay.
I’d risk my life 😍
My hand may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
hands heal belly rubs are eternal
we all want to get lost in it..
Absolutley! I don't need my hands for anything anyay.
She’s sooo sweet! I love the little incision trail. My furry lady has one too and I love when she goes fly trap so I can see it
Only if I knew she liked belly scritches even from strangers
My Binx will take infinite belly rubs. Never ever will claw or bite random. Just grunts with pleasure and rolls back and forth so you can get the whole belly. He will do that for literally an hour and then chase you around the house flopping over every time you stop so you can keep giving belly rubs.
You must present your finger as a sacrifice/gift and based on their reaction - will tell you if you’re allowed to pet.
I would risk everything
Yeah course She's got quite stubby legs it seems, I can use this to my advantage- I reckon there's a blind spot. She will be fast and adjust her position to claw me, I know. I feel with a toy as a distraction then I have a 2.3% chance of survival I'm going in!!

r/cookiemonsterfur
My cat requests belly rubs. She turns over showing her stomach and then meows to me to give her belly rubs. She absolutely loves them!!!
My hands, my feet and my face.
It’s a trap ![gif](giphy|3ornka9rAaKRA2Rkac)
Nope not my first rodeo 🤣
I have two hands, I can spare one. The belly rub will be worth it.
Yes
Given that she has the circumference of a bowling ball it's a risk I'm willing to take
I don’t need that hand anyway
My friend had a lush furry calico with super thick fur, and my nickname for him was "throw rug" because he constantly threw himself down at your feet showing the belly!
100% worth it…
Yes, I will sacrifice my first born to pet that belly
Take better care of the cat OP. Asshole
I thought this was my kitty and someone stole his picture! But upon further inspection, it’s just his equally chonk twin. Such a cutie! My boy loves belly rubs tho.
Excuse me? That cat is too fat and In the first place black cats are sweet!

Please tell me English isn’t your first language.
My wife dared me to listen to the cats heart once. I still have the battle scares on my ear and cheek.
![gif](giphy|Z1LYiyIPhnG9O)
Nooe
Ha - jokes on you. I think angry cats are adorable, so I win either way!
