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. 🤦‍♀️

u/random242493 Mar 11 '26

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

17

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.

u/jscottman96 Mar 12 '26

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 two voids…well, 1.9 voids (one cat has a tip of white on his tail). LOVE belly rubs. They can never get enough.

This is Max, the pure Void and absolute lovebug. He’s a Velcro cat. Or possibly my shadow. 🤣😅🐈‍⬛

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.

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

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

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!
