my cat:

Hey can opener, want to pet my belly?

FUCK YOU DIE

If you're not aware, a cat exposing their belly to you is a sign of trust, as it is their most vulnerable area. Touching their belly when they do that betrays that trust, which is why they attack you. It is not an invitation to touch their belly.

Unless it is an invitation. Four of mine love and ask for belly rubs, the fifth will seriously bite you. A&E seriously!

It depends on the cat, but most of the time it isn't.

Yeah, it depends on the cat but in my experience 60% of cats love it, 20% really love it, and 20% will put you in hospital.
