Not true. My cat loved to have his belly rubbed and scratched. But on his terms, and for the time he wanted only. He never scratched me on purpose in the 10 years we spent together, but he would vanish when he’d had enough. I say “vanish” because he’d be lying on the floor stretched out like a cat rug, belly up, and suddenly he’d whirl and be halfway across the apartment in a microsecond, looking at me like “What are you doing kneeling there staring at the floor?”
