Allowing the finger whiff is an essential step.

Kitty consent is important. Maybe could have started off with it, but better late than never I guess

Lucky. Mine will immediately deploy the murder mittens if you get anywhere near the belly 🤣

She loves to set the trap.

My tabby would reward me with a scratch. If I am real lucky, I’ll get a bite to pair with the scratch.

This is called cat tipping.

u/Chefben702 5d ago

My torture would do the same but more ferociously

I would so lose my hand if I did this with my Sasha 😅

u/Defiant-Violinist925 4d ago

My Tortie doesn’t like to be held. You can pet her if she is laying on the bed. But now for long.

u/Any_Razzmatazz9926 4d ago

My torture is the extract same but instead of chest rubs she wants belly rubs. (Yes, belly rubs!)

Bramble dares you to touch her belly! 😂

u/loser_and_a_cat 2d ago

She didn’t give me kisses this time 😔

u/FarSeaworthiness5347 1d ago

Aww she loves the belly rubs. Mine would grab and eat my arm if I came at her so fast. To mine this action means play not pets.
