Newton: You aren’t going to touch me with that thing, are you? Cat rule number Sixteen is don’t touch the tummy.
That thing is getting a little too close for comfort. Back it up, buddy. And didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s not polite to point?
I said, don’t touch the tummy! Arrrrrgh! Now you’ll see what a fierce jungle creature I am, finger!
Oh, NOW you want to pet me? I don’t think so. I’m not taking apologies just yet.
Hey, where are you going? What’s the matter? Come back and pay attention to me!
Summer says
MOL, Newton! I’m much less complicated – anyone can rub my tummy and I just enjoy it!
Hannah and Lucy says
We don’t mind having our tummies kissed and rubbed – unless we are eating our food!
The Florida Furkids says
We don’t mind tummy rubs here!! We hope the human came back and gave you more attention.

Roby Sweet says
One of our cats loves to have his tummy rubbed–except when he doesn’t, and it’s not always obvious what kind of mood he’s in, until he either purrs or tries to rip your finger off. Our other cat responds with a withering glare if you even think of touching her tummy!
MR Puddy says
Here, Me do exactly the same with my mom !

Random Felines says

Chey, Ichiro and Gemini says
Everyone here loves having tummy rubs–but not too much!

The Swiss Cats says

Three Chatty Cats says
#16? How many cat rules are there? I can’t keep up!
Colehaus Cats says
Oh goodness, your first picture! Our Dad knows that kind of face!
Melissa & Mudpie says
Tummies are just irresistible, Newton!
Emma and Buster says
Newton, Emma is the same she dislikes getting a belly rub. In fact she would run away when she sense that the humans are itching for a belly rub. Buster adores them and begs for them.
The Island Cats says
That’s what they call playing hard to get. ๐
Lola and Lexy says
Lexy is right there with you, Newton. She hates tummy rubs.
Brian Frum says
We sometimes permit tummy rubs…when we’re darn good and ready!
The Daily Pip says
My tummy is off limits, too!
Love, Rosie
Fraidy Cats! says

Caren Gittleman says
yep! That’s cats for ya!
Flynn says
I love tummy rubs and I will hold my mum’s hand to stop her taking it away.
Raven says
Tummy rubs are permitted, but certainly not with a pointy finger!
Kitties Blue says
Newton, you and Lisbeth have lots in common. She loves to show her tummy, but doesn’t want anyone to touch it. Mom doesn’t learn, and she keeps trying. Silly humans! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
