All 4 cats in my house love booty pats, but some love them more
Apple, the oldest cat, a 10 year old calico, isnt very into them, but tolerates them. Pixel, the muted calico also is ok with them. Jonesy, the orange tabby manx is in love with them, along with ada, the tortie kitten.

Although ada gets a little sassy when i stop

"Very soft; not forceful"

Maytal84 would like a word..

Gentle? My cat demands double ass-spankings on a routine basis, and she'd get frustrated if I went this light.

[nightlord]

My Calico female cat always looks me with a goofy angry face when I don't spank her 😂😂😂🤣🤣

[daughterofclair]

One of my girls loves this. This video has reassured me as I was worried it was inappropriate!

My first cat has always had a problem with getting overstimulated super quickly and lashing out, which has been made worse by her arthritis. So I barely touch her back and I pet her extremely gently mostly around her head and neck. I took that approach with my second cat because he’s very anxious and timid and for 5 years, he’d recoil from my touch. It was only this year I realised he likes to be pet firmly and likes bum pats! Now he adores me and can’t get enough attention❤️

Lol, my cat was the all-time buttslap master. She'd get a ridiculous look and start licking my face.

[randomrob]

my human partner odly like this too, hm

[laurentargaryen]

Is it weird that my cat likes the pats just a little harder 😊

[joshuahawkins]

My cats love it and they love getting there back scratched as well i would be lost and lonely without my cats when i was younger I didn't like cats but when i had the chance to spend time with a cat i changed my mind

[KhalidWachill]

At first I was but it must hurt her but the more it was harder the more Lilly like it😅

[phatpham]

My orange cat loves it when I pinched him around the lower cheeks and the back of the neck area. Whenever he sees my hand approaching, he tilts his head or lies down to get pinched

[Jesse-rjet]

I just adopted a stray a few weeks ago. She’s extremely affectionate & loves my attention. But she hates butt pats..like to her core. I was so confused cause I’ve never met a cat that didn’t like them.

By the way, did you have to crawl under the desk to get in the corner? Nice setup, but something was odd until i realized how tight you are in the corner.

[Cozylittlemenace]

I have female cats, and they both are fixed and love bum pats. Recently my mom said that I might be giving them sexual gratification that they should be recieving from a male cat, not a human. It's made me feel really weird spanking my cat. Should I stop? Is it weird? I'm kinda worried, it feels really gross to do it now. Please respond

[ChessInstructorSF]

OK, if it’s. Sensitive area (all sorts of nerves) what would be the advice when brushing my cat? Do I still brush that area at the back near the tail, or maybe forgo this area and just gently use my fingers to do the brush’s work? Thanks in advance.

I've noticed this patting enjoyment behavior is more obvious in female cats. I've always wondered how long we're supposed to pat. Do they need to be patted until they hit some sort of climax or is a short patting session sufficient?

[annarepp]

My cat recently changed her favourite spot on my bed because she realized that if she sleeps on my right side she's get constant butt pats. And she'd voicefully protest if I stop doing them. And then she'd get overstimulated and attack. I wish I could somehow know when enough is enough! Talk to me Koshka!

[mathvena]

Mine always asks for this, and act really similar to yours in the video (scratching her face on things while I do it). When I try to stop she meows and follows me until I continue. But everytime after like 5 seconds she bites my hand. I really don't think she is disliking it but I get all scratched with the bites, which sometimes are hard. Would you know why she bites so much?

[SorcererOfSoup]

i wonder if flamepoints like this in genereal? my girl looks exactly like the kitty at the start and meows at me all day to give her pats. thanks for the video <3
