An open belly in a cat is the highest sign of trust in the owner.
But you should never stroke a cat's belly. We explain why.
Why Cats Don't Like Their Belly Touched
The belly is the most vulnerable place for a cat. As you know, during a fight, a cat lies on its back to show the enemy that it surrenders and no longer poses a threat.
When a cat shows its belly to its owner, it shows that it feels safe next to him and trusts him completely.
But if the owner tries to pet a cat with its belly exposed, it will begin to reflexively protect its belly with its paws.
In addition, touching a cat's belly is simply unpleasant, since this is a hypersensitive area.
