He meows. Makes hard eye contact but if I touch him , he gets mad and runs off.
What? What do you want!?!?! Why are you staring at me and meowing if you don’t actually want me to do anything?!
He also seems to get mad and run off if I just look back at him and not try to pet him.
If I try to ignore him he just rolls around and sometimes does this little ridiculous “tantrum” deal where he will stand up and dramatically throw himself down and then roll onto his back. It’s always loud cause he’s a big cat. It can’t feel very good. But he does it all the time.
Idk. Maybe he just likes being dramatic.
Anyway. Any cat whisperers who have figured it out, let me know.
To feel the weight of their sins on their bellies instead of their backs.
Like a weighted blanket
It’s comfy
He’s bored and wants to play.
“You gotta be quicker than that”
It means the cat is bored
i think it means they want attention, when my cat did this she wanted me to pet her or go to her so she would have me follow and show she wants to go out or have some food.
I assumed she just knew how cute she is and deliberately wanted to be even more cute so i would have to come to her, which i always did precisely for that reason.
Showing their belly means they trust you. If they let you rub their belly they really trust you.
What if you stick you face in their belly and go “wuzza wuzza wuzza”?
Freezie pops
It depends. It’s like when a human says “I love you.” In some cases it’s time to blow them a kiss and cook them some crepes. In other cases it’s time to double-check your safeword and tighten the straps.

Check eyes. Dilated pupils. Combat mode.

One of my cats lays on her back and stretches out when she’s hot. If you try to scratch her belly, she will claw your arm off. So she has clearly communicated that I should not scratch her belly and that’s an easy message to understand based on the scars.
My other cat loves belly scratches, but she prefers if I pick her up for them.
The easy thing to do is try various actions and then stop doing the ones that result in you getting your arm torn off, and whatever’s left over, that’s what the cat likes
What if you don’t figure it out before losing both arms?
Head cup and little scratch behind ear. Quality trust time, ignore incidental cat tum for now.
Belly rubs and blood. Did you try slow blinking at him before touching? Maybe he wants you to touch him but is nervous.
Sometimes he will do kitty winks back and forth with me. But tummy is off limits.
He has never liked that.I think he wants to play with a wand toy. He seems open to that.
Belly trap!!
Sometimes i protecc, but mostly i attacc
Mine wants belly rubs. This goes on for a bit until he decides you are a chew toy now.
Where does he run off to? Me might be trying to bring you somewhere.
Just gets up. Runs off a bit. Looks back at me. Like I did something wrong. Cause I guess I did.
I think he’s wanting to play as some others have suggested. Play with a fishing rod or wand. But no touchy .
Try getting a feather on a stick type toy and pulling it out when he does this. I’d say he wants to play, but doesn’t want to engage your actual huge ape body when it comes down to it. In any case, it’s a sign he considers you his human. He’s really a beautiful cat.
I have a heavy cloth, like canvas, stuffed tube that I break out when he is on his back with crazy eyes. I know he wants to get a good “dig” in. I rub the tube on his belly and he’ll latch onto it a tear into it like he’s gotten some sweet prey. I’ll even hold one end and drag him around the floor and rotate him while he furiously kicks and chews it.
