Most Cats Don’t Like Belly Rubs
If your cat lets you rub its belly, it’s a sign of great trust. However, most cats are not fond of belly rubs, especially from unfamiliar people, as the belly is one of the most vulnerable spots on their bodies. It’s usually best to avoid giving belly rubs to new cats until they have built trust with you.
Again, we’re not saying that cats don’t like to be petted there, but they are usually more protective of this area than other parts of their body.
