This is Possum. I’m glad she lets me rub her belly because she’s so soft.

    I think that is ragdoll thing. My ragdoll always begs for belly rubs when I leave the room. But does not sit on a lap. She likes being around people but not on people :D

      My sister’s cat that’s become the family’s cat does the exact same thing. He’ll do the side flop, and if he isn’t getting adequate attention he’ll begin to wriggle really adorably.

      I had a calico who would do the same! It took years but eventually she went from being stand-offish to demanding them.

      I’m not sure of her breed. My sister found her on the side of the road when she was only a few weeks old.

      I always guessed she was a snowshoe, which is a Siamese mix breed. Her pattern is near identical to what comes up googling “snowshoe cat”. But I can’t be certain.

    Had a gray tabby named Dax that would fall asleep to belly rubs. We picked him outside a convenience store after he was abandoned there, we did whole found posters and everything but they kept getting torn down so after 30 days he was ours. At first he would claw and bite at any petting but we were able to get him to stop by pulling your hand away, as safely as possible, and giving a stern ‘no’ followed by ignoring him for a few minutes. He picked up that if he wants pets he can’t claw and bite anymore.
