How to pet your cat's belly like a pro

[@RainAngel111]

It's true though, if your cat catches your arm with it's claws when you're too close to the belly, if you don't pull away, just stop petting, you generally won't get scratched

[@mirawenya]

@@RainAngel111 after a while with cats, this becomes instinct. Just freeze hand and wait.

[@seraphina985]

@@RainAngel111 Indeed, this is simply the cats way of holding your hand when they want to. They don't exactly have the long flexible digits to wrap around and grasp to hold something, they have claws to hook on to it instead. Hell some cats will resort to clawing your hand like this if you prematurely attempt to stop petting them when they are enjoying it too. The claw grip isn't intended to hurt it is just their way to hold you. The warning bites on the other hand are kitties way of saying that doesn't feel good for them by essentially saying you don't like that huh? Well me neither so quit it.

[@0LoneTech]

It is good advice. Even without the distraction mentioned, I've found just holding still usually leads to a release, often after a slight lick to signal they're not that mad, you're just in the wrong place.

[@pattychan3941]

@@seraphina985 Wait, so what does it mean if a cat holds down your arm, and instead of nibbling they just start licking you? For like, an extended period of time.

ikr! he just seems at peace with the universe. must be the cats

[@inesucrvenom]

I can tell you, you can learn a lot here. I joined when I got my cats and binge watched, and read a few books. One cat was a 'psycho' in terms how he wants pets and then immediately without warning bites you hard. For second we were told he won't be lap or cuddly cat, and you couldn't touch him for like few seconds. With time, patience, tons of love and respecting their boundaries now I have two cuddly creatures. Yes I can give kisses and rub belly to that 'untouchable one' and he purrs. Just 3 years. Got him at age 1, and he came to shelter as aggressive and neglected cat. Psycho one was 4 at the time and with chronic diarrhea and deeply frustrated and didn't know how to play or what limits are. When they come to snuggle with me/us at night or in the morning, it's just the best thing in the world. Dr Uri's videos helped a lot to navigate the illness and behaviour of cats, together with our pets health and jackson galaxy. Be kind to them and they'll it return tenfold. Respect their boundaries and they'll move them for you. I can bother them quite a lot and they're pliable. But not 24/7. Hell I got them purring for nail clipping 😂 Wish your situation changes soon so that you can start that journey of happiness :) it is indeed life changing :)

I've always been lucky enough to have kitties who learn to trust me and offer up the goods. The current lady seems to like the tops of a flight of stairs; she'll get down on the landing and roll over to show off her tum. I laugh at her and coo, "Look at the belly!!" (which usually comes out as more of an excited "Lookadabelleee!") and she lets me do as I please for a little while. The best is when she lets me get my face right in there and snorgle in all the floof. You've got to time it right so that she's not getting impatient - that would be a great recipe for getting a bunny kick to the face - but it's so very worth it.

[@58209]

your advice about "warning shots" with gentle biting is great. one of mine gives gentle warning nibbles when i'm trimming his claws. i need to listen more and give him breaks between trimmings so i'm not pushing his boundaries too far.

She was at my side almost all the time and used to lie up against me with her arm thrown around my neck and she would wash my chin and neck. It was heaven. I really love your videos and have learned quite a lot. Take care. Pat in New Jersey

[@phoenixfire8978]

Hey Pat, I’m so sorry for your loss. I was devastated when I lost my 19 year old kitty. I’m glad Peeps’ sister is with you. Where I am (United Kingdom) we have a major charity called the Blue Cross. They operate a pet bereavement service in addition to their vet services and animal welfare work. I’m sure New Jersey must have similar groups. Please don’t be afraid to reach out to one if your struggling.

[@letshavepie]

She sounds similar to my furry young man, except that he gets himself so excited when he grooms me that he always gets a little nippy and I have to stop the session so he can calm down by sleeping on my feet. Whichever of us leaves this world first will leave the other heartbroken. Sometimes a particular pet and a particular human are just the world to each other. It sounds like that is how it was for you and Peep. May you and Peep's sister be able to get each other through this loss.

It's only on her terms and only when she feels like it, but when she lets me, she LOVES it! She used to NEVER let me! I did exactly what you said to do and it finally paid off. :) As always, thank you for your videos! I love you and your sweet kitties! & I ADORE how much you love them and they love you!

A neighbor's cat used to come visit me. From the very first visit, he/she would let me stroke its belly. In fact, the minute I touched it, the cat would roll onto its back for me.

Yes to all of this! Kitties tell us what they think with sometimes quite subtle body language, but they do tell us. Watch while interacting and if the tail twitches, the pupils change, you get nibbles or holding, just relax and stop. One of my cats is easily overstimulated so I keep an eye out while petting her, sometimes just resting my hand on a neutral location to see whether pets may continue, and I do get to pet the amazing belly, but we’ve lived together a long time now.

They came to me after being rescued from an abandoned house in Athens, Greece.

Even clipping nails isn’t a fight.

[@michaeldique]

What a great demonstration and tutorial! My youngest cat has always been very trusting and open to belly cuddles, while my male cat is trickier. It's easy to tell by reading him that he does enjoy a little belly rub, but his instincts always kick in, and he will hold me for a few seconds with his claws, just like you said. But he never tries to hurt me. Just giving a clear message. I believe learning to read your cat is the single most important thing you can do for your furry friend.

So nice to see Lancelot! I love how you say, wait 2-3 years, or a decade! Because it's so true! I have a rescue cat ( adopted at 10 months) who is a biter.

I am a psychologist and I used my behavioural distress tolerance techniques to gradually widen my cat's window of tolerance. It's 18 months later and he only bites occasionally and even allows a tummy petting from time to time! He's actually very affectionate but has hyper vigilance and his alarm can be a bit hair trigger.

Somewhere around three years, and we didn't ask. He invited, and we accepted the bait, warily. He began a habit of just flopping and baring his belly for petting. We have two siblings, and it was the less outgoing cat that decided he would like to have his belly petted. There are times when the flop is not for us, or he changes his mind; he just changes positions usually, but he used to give the clutchee warning. Our other cat conformed to your video description, and I responded properly by accident. He never asks for belly petting, but he is often agreeable.

Your videos always make my day better - your relationship with Mr Pirate is so beautiful. Thank you for your excellent and very informative content!! I look forward to learning more from your course when I have the financial stability to care for my own feline friend :)

My babies are a year now (brother and sister) they both became so happy and comfortable after i got them at 4 month's old. They both love their bellies being scratched and rubbed. I adopted my moms 10 year old cat a few months ago and that is a different story! Lol after months, once in a while when shes real tired, happy, and comfortable I can get little rubs and scratches in at her chest. Love them all so much!
