Reply to comment by SnakeBeardTheGreat in You know how dogs kick their legs when you scratch them? Well, Baxter the cat does something... uh, slightly different. by RamsesThePigeon

Our cat, which we've had about three years since a kitten, is the only cat I know that likes belly scratches. Doesn't resist, doesn't scratch. Just lets us hold her like a baby and purrs.

Both of our cats (not siblings) like belly scratches like yours. We just did it calmly a soft since they were kittens, like we were gently grooming them, and not to appear as if we are playing with them. 2 years later they'll roll over for us to give them pets and rubs all along their bellies. They also don't scratch or bite, like ever. Except my big toe when I wiggle it under the blankets. 😆 I swear we won the lottery with the two of them, that or we did something rare when raising them. You probably did similar.

I used to live together with a fur baby called Blackberry https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/k2yktr/bliss_looks_like_this/

She is the nicest, gentlest kitty there every lived. She used to be a pregnant stray and always behave like no bad can ever happen to her and there is no danger in the world at all. I am surprised she could survive in the streets of Saint-Petersburg, but I'm glad we rescued her!

So the point is, that little lady never bit me once in her life and allowed me to pet and scratch any part of her belly or even her paws. I love that cat and I'm glad that she lives with my friend now, they completely spoil her)
