Othello loves

Long extended belly and chest rubs I’m talking about 15 minutes . I tell him my arm is tired I move it away he lays there wondering if I am done or not then he gets up and lays on my belly purrin. As I bite my lip when he kneads me. I love him so much.

Petting an animal is supposed to lower your blood pressure. So it’s good for us, too!

The belly is a no-no area for many cats. Only 2 of my 6 cats liked having their bellies rubbed. I think you and Othello have a very special relationship!

and she does not play. Her teeth get bared; the claws come out; and she goes in for the kill. My Martini, on the other hand, loves belly rubs. She turns into a big kitten, grabbing my hand with her front paws and kicking her back legs.

Glad to see Othello again; it's been minute. He's such a beautiful cat!
