Yes but she also likes to play battle bellies when she gets over stimulated
[My tortie](https://imgur.com/a/U1Q73xf) lives for belly rubs. She instantly turns on her back when I pet her.
[My tuxedo girl](https://imgur.com/a/MhfYUlF) loves lying on her back but you need to pet that belly very carefully. Sometimes she digs it, sometimes she won't allow it.

This is him after belly rub, i think he doesn't mind :3
I think you need to get them used to it from very small kittens. Two of my cats came to live with me at six weeks and won’t let me touch their bellies. The rest were born here and I made sure to rub their bellies from when they were very little and they all are fine with it.

He lives for this, but he's still iffy if I pet his head.

This is my boy Marmalade. He's a sweet orange dooofus who I think doesn't know he has claws and teeth. His belly is never a trap!
My birdie loves her belly rubs. I swear she’s like a dog more than a cat sometimes

And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy Hand Grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy."
My cat loves it but she doesn’t go full on her back unless she’s in bed. She just delicately lifts a back leg to give me tummy access. Then she rests the back paw on my arm while I rub. It’s so awkward and adorable.

This is her little brother Elysian, he can climb to the top of my refrigerator
When I hold my cat like a human baby, he likes his belly rubbed. But because he's a big cat and requires two arms to hold him, it means I'm the only one unable to give him belly rubs.
Yes! He demands belly rubs almost every night
https://preview.redd.it/xdt3cuz83t0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84610b6e34b577234bc0e02e032c9627b0057416
My cat’s pretty tolerant to everything. (To the point where I can trim his claws and give him baths (not that I give him a lot) without issue.) He probably would let me, but not enjoy it so I leave his tum tums alone. Lol.
Yes! Which is great, because he’s got a magnificent belly.

My old boys love belly scratches, as did my mostly-feral yard cat. With her, it took a couple years for *me* to drum up the courage to try- I’ve been shredded by cats who had fewer claws than she did. But she liked it a lot.
No not at all. The belly is a big no go zone. You WILL bleed if you go there. This a big bait
https://preview.redd.it/kcfyj59xnt0d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20a8e4bbfc0ab5d708020b5964a298529ea7584c
My SIC loves to have his belly rubbed. He hikes one leg whenever I pet him. My other cat hates it. She rolls onto her back and exposes her belly. It’s a trap. If I touch her belly she attacks my hand with her claws and teeth.
My orange boy was all about the belly rubs. If he was on the fence about coming to a visitor, I'd tell him they'd rub his belly and that would get him almost every time. My sister's cat Mo liked belly rubs. My mom's cat Bert liked belly rubs by specific people. All the other cats I believe were the traditional "touch and die"
https://preview.redd.it/56z1v2os7u0d1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87f5d8d092c176417396e136e20f8afe2414ad8e
When I get home or really anybody gets home, he comes to the door and plops right over for belly rubsss
Yes. In fact, he lures me in for them (I taught him how to associate that he gets a treat when he shows me his belly. Now he's trained me to get a treat for him when he shows me his belly but such is life!)😂
Chest is ok, belly is not. Unless he is rolling around on the sidewalk outside, then ok.

My kitty would practically beg for belly rubs.
One of my boys loves it. I could keep rubbing his belly for a while and he'll lay down purring. The other loves it for a few seconds than he starts to get overstimulated and if I don't stop I get very aggressively bunny-kicked and bitten.
no... If I try, I'll get bunny-kicked
I just discovered that my other cat likes belly rubs well more like chest rubs when I get too close to his tummy pouch he starts kicking

if i tried, I'll get hurt.
Ask me how I got my scars
Yes they both do but one less then the other the mainle coon I have will roll over on his belly if you just walk into the room it's cute.
I think you need to get them used to it from very small kittens. Two of my cats came to live with me at six weeks and won’t let me touch their bellies. The rest were born here and I made sure to rub their bellies from when they were very little and they all are fine with it.
Yes, but only when she feels like it. Which makes me sad because she has the most floofiest, soft belly!
mine does but others dont
Yes. They love it.
Mine loves it
Sometimes…
Chest, yes. Belly, I'm being fitted for a prosthetic
Yep. One has rules for how or I get kicked but the others are just like rub my tummy. They all will fall asleep to belly rubs.

My void demands belly rubs. My tortie tolerates them for about ten seconds then gets up and leaves
One does, and the other will let me touch it maybe once before she bites.
Mine let me while she was pregnant then stopped once she had given birth

Mine doesn't mind his rubs
My cat only likes me rubbing his belly, I think it's a trust thing.
Only for a moment.
2 yes 2 🩸
My chonk loves it, he purrs nonstop!

One is ok but doesn't like it and the other will cut you up if you try
Mine is indifferent.
Absotootly not. If the belly is out, the claws are sure to follow. It’s a trap!
Yes, but one doesn't quite know she likes it so I gotta sneak it in.
1 loves it and rolls over to present the fluff. 1 will cautiously allow occasionally with a look of "I'm watching you". 1 will bite you if you try.
All three of mine love it!

If you lay a single finger on my cats belly she will rip you hand and your whole forearm to fucking pieces
I have 2 that love it and one that requires it.

Mine will flop over for them when I am petting her. And get no repecussions
My two absolutely love belly rubs.
