Some cats roll over on their back and make it look like they want their belly rubbed… then make you pay for jumping to such a ridiculous conclusion. Ody is not a trap cat. Ody really does love having his big Buddha belly rubbed, and will give you ample opportunity by exposing himself like so in front of you. In the days when I would let Ody jump up on the computer desk while I was using it, I got treated to this scene quite often. This was far and away the best photo I got of him in full “rub me!” mode. The eyes aren’t just glowing… they look like marbles! And that face…. geez, how can you resist NOT rubbing his white fluff?

Yep – that’s definitely a guy who is “open” to the belly treatment. Teddy’s the same although he can’t get up on my computer desk any longer – not enough room for him to stretch out. Great shot of Ody “askin’ for it” !

Ody can’t sprawl out on my desk anymore either… there’s too much junk where he’s laying now. He has to settle for the two end tables I use as the SCT stage to do his roll over act… and then hope he doesn’t roll right off onto the floor!
Teddy often rolls right out of a chair – so far he’s never rolled off the bed though thankfully!
Nope. I couldn’t resist that invitation either….

I should shave “Rub me” into his belly. I’m sure the vet would ask questions…
He is so cute! Our Kosmo sleeps quite often his tummy up, but I think he does it, because he is so fat nowadays.
It is definitely a fat cat tactic. Biskit is skinny as a rail and only when it’s very hot will he roll over tummy up. I sleep belly up and I have quite the fat belly as well…
Yeah, 9 times out of 10 the moment you go for their belly they curl around and shred your hands…
Ody is not like that at all. You can trust me……………
That’s very cute. It seems somewhat of an anomaly to think cats like belly rubs. Dogs-sure, but cats don’t come to mind right off the bat.
Ody is weird, but he comes from a family of weird cats. His brother Spilly, I’m pretty sure, had some canine DNA in him…
Those cats are pretty entertaining.
Awwww. What a sweetie puss!
Sweet and cuddly and quite plump…
Eric likes to have his tummy rubbed, too. Garth is the shredder.
I knew there had to be more bellyrub cats than just Ody. I’ve only had a couple cats try to shred me when I catch them rolling over…
