Published by: jane 2009-01-09

My cat is extremely affectionate and she wants attention like crazy, She jumps on my lap and like rubs my face with hers and she turns to her back on my lap as if I should rub her tummy,

Where do Cats like to be rubbed so they can feel good? So i can do that to my cat?

For our cats its their head, chin, along their back, and strangely enough they love to have their tummys rubbed.

you should try under her chin. My cat loves that.

behind the ears and under the chin. best two places... if they really trust you then they like the tummy. that takes a bit though... sometimes right on there back before teh tail, they can't reach it themselves..

All cats are different, but many of them like to be gently scratched under the chin and around/under/behind the ears. One of my cats like to have his lower back scratched: directly *above* where his tail connects to his spine. However, one of the other cats in the house absolutely hates that so it definitely varies. All four of them like the chin and ear scratching though.

He loves to be petted. He uses a scratching post, plays with toys, and believe the ideal situation is a home where she doesnt have to share an owners

Pet Enrichment Cats::
Most owners know where their cats preferentially hang out and can design the cat could develop a more destructive behavior or reaction to being petted.

Even if a cat shows you its stomach, it may not want you to actually pet it or rub it there - it's an extremely sensitive and vulnerable spot for them. Rubbing/petting down the spine is good. Many cats are also touching about having their paws massaged, so if you want them to be used to it so you can trim their nails, you need to work up their tolerance for paw handling slowly and consistantly.

they LOVE to be petted on top of their head, on there back, down their chin and on their tummy. they like to be scratched on their back and on their tummy. they don't like to go out a lot and they don't like to have hair cuts. the most important thing is that your cat has to be active and needs to have ability to clime trees, fall in four legs and chew. they love to feel loved.

Cats love to be scratched on there belly. They really love to be scratched on there tailbone.

My cat purrrrs so much when i scratch her tailbone.

hop this helps?

Under the chin, and behind the ears.
