Why Does My Cat Show Me His Belly?
Most people assume that if a cat shows you its belly, that means it wants to be scratched. That may be what dogs want, but it’s the opposite of what cats want. When a cat makes itself vulnerable by exposing its tummy, it’s showing you it trusts you not to touch its belly. So it’s a direct breach of that trust to do so, which is why you’ll probably end up getting scratched.
