This is Possum. I'm glad she lets me rub her belly because she's so soft.

Yes! My big boy cat flops down and demands them.

I had a calico who would do the same! It took years but eventually she went from being stand-offish to demanding them.

My (neutered) boy, Silky, absolutely adored tummy rubs. Not just chest, but actual lower abdomen. He'd purr his head off and streeetch (and drool, after FORL destroyed most of his teeth). As far as I know he was just a regular moggie - he certainly didn't come with papers from the shelter!

Beautiful kitty, love her coat! Is she a mix of Siamese and something?

[–] skyler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm not sure of her breed. My sister found her on the side of the road when she was only a few weeks old.

I always guessed she was a snowshoe, which is a Siamese mix breed. Her pattern is near identical to what comes up googling "snowshoe cat". But I can't be certain.

I think that is ragdoll thing. My ragdoll always begs for belly rubs when I leave the room. But does not sit on a lap. She likes being around people but not on people :D

Hahahaha my cat does exactly the same. Never sits on lap but puts his head over my lower leg when I lay.

[–] Kubenqpl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

All ragdolls are the same :D
