Why don’t cats let their bellies be touched?

Answer: Xingyue Wuhen

To touch the belly, you need to cultivate it from an early age. I raised a cat a long time ago before it was weaned. When it eats from now on, it doesn't even know how much it has eaten to be considered full.

Once I put two plates (two servings) of rice for it, but it didn’t expect that it actually ate the whole meal until its belly was bulging and round, and then it didn’t eat for two or three days. .

Also, I didn’t have a bowel movement for two or three days. It turned out that the little thing was broken, so I decided to massage its belly.

Unexpectedly, the little thing is lying there with its four paws spread out and its eyes closed. It has an expression of enjoyment. You can touch it however you want.

While rubbing it, I suddenly found that the little thing had farted. Oh my God, I swear I have never smelled such a smell. It was so smelly that I quickly held my breath and fled the room. Then I stood at the door of the room. Look inside. The little thing actually opened its eyes and looked at me in confusion, wondering why I ran away and why I didn't continue to serve it.

What’s even more annoying is that the little thing didn’t feel the smell of his fart at all, as if he didn’t smell it, lying peacefully in his fart

Of course the little thing later After the stool was released, it returned to normal. From then on, I never dared to feed it two meals again. Later, the little thing refused to let anyone touch his belly (only for the owner).

Let me tell you this, my Hanzo will never give up. Touch the place. If you touch his head, he will wag his tail. You patted his back and he lay down. If you give him a slap, he will reveal his belly. Then you can do whatever you want.

Answer: Adoption

Cats show their bellies to you. It's showing trust to you, but actually it doesn't want you to touch her belly.

The belly is the most vulnerable part of a cat, and they will not easily show their belly to predators.

So, when a cat shows its weaknesses to you unreservedly, it means that it completely trusts and likes you!

But this is just a gesture of goodwill, and it does not mean that it is ready to be bald by your touch~

Animal behavior expert Nicky Trevorrow explained:

< p> "When a cat exposes its belly to you, its owner is just saying hello or expressing trust or affection to you. If the cat touches its belly suddenly, it will destroy mutual trust for the owner. All it wants is for you to touch its head, not directly. Go and touch its belly. "

So, when a cat shows its belly to you, the correct approach is that you should pet its head first, and if it enjoys it, you can then try to touch its belly. If it refuses to touch its belly, please stop touching it immediately, otherwise it will be scratched or bitten.

Cat sucking begins when your cat relaxes its vigilance towards you. Small suction pleasure. Big sucking hurts the body. It feels so good to rub this big belly. In the end you became like this. So, you need to do this.
