My cats only let me rub their bellies. They present tummy up when they want them from me but anyone else that tries it risks being bitten from what I've seen. They let me get away with almost anything. Claw trims, hair cuts, ear cleaning, shots and pills if necessary, whatever needs doing, but I'm the only one who can get away with that shiz. It's a Mommy thing. I raised them both from very, very young. They like other people sometimes, but they are very picky about who rubs their bellies apparently. My girl, she about adores my Dad, but he still doesn't get to rub her belly. I think it's just a question of knowing them and exactly how to do it. I've got the magic touch when it comes to cats, all animals actually, and they usually pick up on that real quick. I give good belly rubs, grin.
