Tabbys do this so professionally I am sure they have a special belly stroking gene ;o)
Mary MacADNski: Do you think it is a tabby trait? Kenz's sister, Bella, also a tabby, merely tolerates it. My former cat Clarke, not a tabby lived for it. I'd often have Kenz and Clarke beside each other in this position. They knew I had two hands.
What a lovely cat. Our cat Puss does this too when the ground is warm. It's like watching a little kitten even though our cat is around 12 years old!! Hayley.
Mary MacADNski: Kenz does this all day long. Right beside the chair I am sitting in, I have several toys and diversions to keep her occupied while I type a sentence or two. She is relentless! That belly has been rubbed more often than the Blarney stone.
