I used to have a tomcat who would roll on his back when he saw Mr and Mrs Crow his feathered friends. He would lay on his back chattering to them whilst they stood watching over him. Whenever I see Mr and Mrs Crow I just want to cry it was so lovely to watch.

We call it " the trap" - My little girl does it to tempt me. It's hard to resist that fluffy belly and then SNAP she's got me lol

11. As a method of self-grooming. Specifically to loosen fur (keeps them from having to lick/ingest too much fur while grooming). I have a long haired Ragdoll & she often does this during shedding season.

My indoor cat started doing this and meowing more, too, about 2 months ago after I took her to the vet for a sore spot she was scratching that got infected. Vet gave her an anti biotic injection which healed the sore, but she still scratches a lot. I was having bad allergies and the vet suggested I slowly introduce my cat to a food made to reduce major allergens in cat hair and dander. After 2 mos my allergies are no better and she barely eats the food😢. The rolling around could be a sign she wants to play as I don’t play with her often. Just seems strange the rolling and meowing both started right after the vet visit and food change. Any suggestions? 😢🤷🏻‍♀️
