BTW nice pic
“Interestingly not all cats want belly scratches, exposing the belly is a sign of either submission(to a new dominate) or a signal that I have no fear of you and my surroundings. (ie you are a master predictor and will protect me)...BTW nice pic.
Not my pic, but yes - even a person who hated cats as much as me (but would never dream of harming them, of course), was subdued by a kitten...who later became a cat, but was still a sweetheart. There are some things that logic cannot transcend - and a kitten looking at you is one of them.
