The January Photo Contest got me thinking, Can you touch the tummy?
I'm ALL about kitty tummies! Seeing all those pretty kitty tummies and knowing you can't rub them makes me sad.
But I have one too. I cannot touch Ophelia's pretty white tummy and keep my fingers. Sometimes, but only sometimes, she will let Daddy pet the tummy if she's really relaxed with him.
Annie was like that when we first brought her home. I don't blame her - she was living in the forest and that's a vulnerable spot. Between me pushing the subject and her gaining trust with us, now she not only lets us pet that pretty little tummy, she LOVES it!
Ginger is the same way...she's just now (after 2 years) allowing me to pet the tummy. I'm SO happy!
Mojo still isn't too sure. She used to, but now she thinks it's play time and wants to bunny kick.
Trent has always loved to get his fluffy tum petted. He begs for it. It's not even a guilty pleasure for him - he feels no guilt about it!
How about your kitties? Are you allowed to touch and pet their cute little fluffy (or nekkid, as the case may be!) tummies?
