      Both of mine will allow belly rubs, but hate being picked up and will never sit on your lap. I wouldn’t have minded more of a mix of preferences.

      My old cat used to love belly rubs. I miss her so much.

      My new cat is really young. We’re still working on it with her.

        With my cats the belly rub appreciation came with age. At 2 years old it was all playful teeth and claws, but after 8 years or so it is 100% belly rubs and cuddles.
