Tummy tickles?

[dandysmom]

Following on Elaine's post about Millicent, I thought it would be interesting to see whose cats love them and whose say it's an absolute no-no! Leia will lie on her back and paddle her paws in the air for ages having her tummy rubbed. :D Yours?

Kuan Yin and Hestia like to show their tummies but if you pet it they nip..K calls it a "cat trap" on their part :lol:

LOL, there was a cat down the street that did that! Sybil would flop down and invite a tummy rub, then latch onto you with all four paws and teeth! Ouch .... I only fell for that once! :roll:

Both Kizzy and Pip are little tarts for having their tummies rubbed, especially Kizzy. I've even been known to blow raspberries on her lovely fluffy tum-tum! Pip generally will allow his tum to be tickled, but sometimes does that "nip" - however if you just let your hand stay still, he lets go immediately and will give you a lick to say sorry, didn't mean it!

I am blessed with my two and I know it!

Dylan blatantly "commands" his tummy gets rubbed - he rolls about singing like a siamese saying "Rub My Tummy!!!" :lol:

Minnie is like Kizzy.She loves her tummy rubs and you can blow raspberries on her tummy.:lol:
Minnie also likes the top of her head kissed.:)

So does Kizzy!

[dandysmom]

So does Leia!!

[angieh]

We sometimes have a little nose-rub too!

I definatly think Kizzy and Minnie are sisters.

[angieh]

Certainly! At the very least in spirit, but they look alike and have similar behaviour patterns. Shame we can't do their Family History!!!

[dandysmom]

They look alike too, as well as similar habits. Both beautiful girls!

Tink i know what K means by trap. Tom displays his tum and may even give some gentle meows, especialy to the dog. But just you try tickling him, he will latch on with all four paws, usualy kicking with his back legs.
I have heard that touching some cats stomachs can trigger a killing instinct.

All my boys apart from Merlin love tummy rubs...:D

We do tummy 'swirls' for Murphy although you need to know his mood.

Get him in the right mood and he'll purr and dribble as he lets his hair form a nice swirl.

Get him in the wrong mood and it's a trip to A&E

reggie slips into bed with me some nights. lays flat on his back for tickles, normally i get his chest and tummy. but one night he was laying the other way around, and reggie had a real treat lol itwasnt his tummy that got the tickles (blush)
and ronnie he like a tummy tickle as well. but he wasnt as *lucky* as reggie lol

Felix does and doesn't like tummy tickles :lol:
He rolls over but there's certain areas that you must avoid. I can only tickle his chest and the top of his tummy but if I tickle the middle of the tummy he will hold onto your hand, bite and kick with his back paws but then comes back 5 mins later purring and rubbing his head against my arm. :lol:
