I once tried this in reverse. A stray cat was very nervous of me, so I lay down on the floor, flat on my back and showing my belly. She came over immediately and started purring. The whole thing worked like a charm and we were bonded from that moment.

So basically its because they're showing that they trust you to NOT mess around with their belly when given the opportunity.

When my cat ahows her belly she's saying, "Go ahead. Make my day." And I, with certain knowledge that she will shred my hand, try to pet her belly...
I just can't help myself...

Meow, meow means "feed me feed me"; then he flops over on his back to say "Look I am fainting with hunger!" My cat is so dramatic.

Cat: shows belly

Me: rubs belly

Cat: I trusted you! You were the chosen one!

Me: you trusted me, and I failed you

It's a trap, "touch my fluffy belly"

and teeth

[DarkVorona]

I like how you use the word "caregiver" for describing those who live with a cat as opposed to the correct term, "human slave"....

I have a cat that like to have their belly rubbed or patted. But I do have another cat that does not. I think it depends on the cat and what they like. They are individuals just as we are. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rubbing a cat’s belly is one of the simple pleasures in life

[japansace]

My cat is the only cat I've ever known to like belly scratches. He stretches out and wiggles his paws when I pet him there.

I've known a few cats who absolutely *loved* belly-rubs. Of course, one of them loved playing fetch and could do, like, 30 tricks on command, so it was probably just a dog in disguise.

My cat has no problem with me petting her on the belly

[tramarherrera]

My cat is a Norwegian forest/mix and she loves her belly rubs for long periods of time. She never seems to get enough.

I saved a kittens life after some crazy person threw 5 babies out in the woods across the street from my home. 4 were dead and I buried them and the last one wasn't in the same area. He must've managed one last meow cause I heard this little fella! Thank God! He'd been there for so long he was stuck to the ground! I couldn't help but cry in pain for this poor little guy! Well, he was 3 wks old the vet told me! And they also told me that I did save this kittens life! 😁💗 The reason I'm telling you all this is because he truly believes me to be his actual Mother! And I've learned what he likes and I've had to almost take on the mother cat time! From teaching him how to dig a hole to potty, wipe him with a damp cloth to clean him, and to love me back! Which the last was very easy! Because I can pretty much touch him or do anything to him and he loves it! I have learned that he loves it when I put my nose on his and I rub my nose against his and all over his head and he has to be touching me when we sleep! He is my little man! And he is thriving! I watch him learning how to get his eyes and paws in sync. He had a wobble head thing going on at first but is very good at paw/eye combos now! I'm so thankful that God put me in the right place at just the right time! Because this little guy, Bubba, has saved my life too! Thank you for letting me share this with you guys!

I have a weird cat. When he rolls over he yells at me until I give him a belly rub

[howardmckenna]

I have to say hello to my cat with a full chest and belly rub.

[CrimsonCQB]

_"share"_ your home with a kitty??? Kitty simply allows you to live there with kitty 😹

[thelibraryhorror]

When my cat is in a deep sleep she shows her belly and snores. Just thought I’d share that! Happy New Year and Decade to our superiors the Cat and us their Humans. Xxx

[TheAllMightyGodofCod]

My cat came with instructions, it is easy to pet. All of her favorite the petting areas came pre marked in black.
She is so simple to understand that she actually has a black spot in all the good petting areas!

Cats teach consent by tooth and claw. Oh, and love. Mostly love, if you listen to them and treat them right. I've also found that most cats DO like having their bellies rubbed, but only after building serious trust and showing them that they are in charge of when, how, and how long the belly is rubbed. I heart cats!
