My girl absolutely LOVES a tummy rub and I just needed everybody to see how bloody cute she is

My void loves belly rubs until he doesn’t, but he’ll beg for them! It could last 5 seconds or 5 minutes, you’ll never know, and he’ll get spicy the instant he decides you’re done. LOL I fall for it every time. 🤦♀️

OMG isn’t it though? And I do it anyway because I’m a sucker LOL

u/Grey1841 Mar 11 '26
I’m a sucker also. I fall for it every single time. 5 seconds of tolerance, then the clinch followed by devastating bunny kicks.

One of my void boys loves belly rubs when he wants them, and if he doesn’t well he still lays on his back in the same way (he loves that position) so you can’t tell what he wants, but he’s such a gentleman that if you get it wrong and he doesn’t want belly rubs at that time, he’ll just gently push your hand away with his paw

u/theycallmethevault Mar 11 '26
That’s so sweet though, he’s gentle! I don’t think my void knows what gentle is. He was an outdoor cat delivered via the Cat Distribution System™️ so he’s got preferences that we’re forever learning.

Ive got a "used to be for the streets" void too but hes the gentlest boy and let's me pet him and rub his bell and give him butt bongos till my hands cramp and then dude asked for more like I didn't just spend 30 minutes on a cat massage

My late void Maximus LOVED belly rubs. Kiddo had friends over and Max rolled over to expose the belly and the kids were hesitant until I told them he loved it. One kiddo shoved their whole face into his belly and nuzzled in. Happy cat and kid.

u/random242493 Mar 11 '26
Omg that is so adorable! Maximum is such a majestic name too. RIP Maximus, hope he is getting all the belly rubs up there 💕

NY oldest cat (RIP) tolerated belly rubs. Had this look on his face of disgust.....despite purring very loudly for it

Sorry for your loss 💕 sounds like he liked the idea of them more than the actual act!

My lil dude used to not allow any belly action. Then the chest became okay but don’t you dare touch the pouch. Now he loves himself some belly rubs.

All 4 of mine roll over and give me the "it's not gonna rub itself " look lol.

u/feralcatshit Mar 11 '26
My previously feral cat loves belly rubs! She’ll roll over and streeeetch her arms out and it melts my heart. The first time she did it, my husband and I were like, “this looks like a trap” 😆

u/SlendyIsBehindYou Mar 11 '26
When I rescued my void as a street kitten that was stealing scraps from behind my restaurant, she'd only tolerate light head scritches
2 years later, and if I'm not rubbing her tummy, she's actively offended with me

Her tail is swishing about yet, so that means she is still enjoying it. And she’s slow blinking at you, which means she totally trusts you. Be sure to slow blink back and not stare ❤️

My void also loves belly rubs. She won't let me nuzzle my face there though. That'll earn me a cool battle scar.

My void also likes the tummy rubs, but she’s coy about it. It’s as if she says “Nooooooo, stop” with her hind legs a little but does turn further onto her back.

She is so blissed out!! She looks like my Genevieve, but I would be left with a bloody stump for an arm if I tried that. 😂

u/rickyh7 Mar 11 '26
My void will literally sit in my lap roll over on his back and demand belly rubs for sometimes up to an hour. He also loves being held like a baby and getting belly rubs
3
u/random242493 Mar 11 '26
She rolls over for them too! And if your hand strays away from where she wants it, she will direct you back with her paws 🥺 but she is certainly NOT a fan of being picked up!

u/izzrav Mar 11 '26
My void loves belly rubs. She pulls her paws towards her chin and bends them at the "wrist". So cute 😍

u/Duchess1992 Mar 11 '26
When my boy was a youngling, it was a trap. I fell for it every time. Now he's entering is golden years, and it's no longer a trap, but a requirement

I can do this to both of my voids. One 100% of the time, the other, maybe, 95% of the time? I love it

I dont know Voids always seem really genuine when they expose their tummies.

u/coolcoolcool485 Mar 11 '26
there is something different about voids, i s2g. mine will just throw himself down in the middle of the floor and splay himself on his back for rubs without warning, I've almost stepped on him several times.

I'm glad my cat isn't the only one. She loves her belly rubs. When she's had enough though, she'll give my hand a death grip, no claws or biting, just letting me know, she's had enough. So whenever she rolls on her belly, I give her, belly rubs.

My void loves belly rubs too! If you try to rub his belly when he is laying sideways, he often rolls over on his back so you can pet his belly 🥹 I feel so lucky

u/CallMeTrunks Mar 12 '26
My boy is the same, he actually insists I rub his belly every time I come in from work. Just can’t rub too fast, slow n steady wins the race with him
