I've had a cat who wasn't cuddly and initially appeared to be

to be on her own terms. Of the two I have now, both like petting -
but one likes her tummy rubbed and the other, who has never ever
tired of having her back patted or brushes, will try to take your
hand off at the wrist if you dare touch her belly!

*only* at the wrist? You're lucky.

Persia (RB) scratched the heck out of my forearm once. She was sleeping
next to me, on her back. I was half asleep myself. Without thinking I
put my hand on her tummy. She wrapped her front paws around my arm and
bunny-kicked with her rear claws. OUCH! Those were some deep gouges.

Buffy isn't crazy about having her tummy rubbed, either. She sometimes
allows it if she's doing a big stretch and I give her scritches along
her back first. I don't dare linger too long on the tummy, though.

Sootie will only let me rub her tummy and then only when she's relaxed on
my lap. Although she did yesterday. She had to go to the vet for a full
dental, clean polish xrays and of course blood tests. Apparently, she was
a really good girl and when she was coming round from the anesthetic she
was very fussy and all the staff were fussing her and they said that at
one point she turned onto her back for mega tummy rubs. I think she's a
happy drunk.

happy attitude.
