Some cats don't like belly rubs.<br />Why?<br />Because, according to MMN, the stomach area is a very sensitive part of a cat's body. <br />This soft underbelly protects some of their most vital organs, according to the South Boston Animal Hospital.<br />The hair follicles on a cat's stomach and tail are "hypersensitive to touch, so petting there can be overstimulating."<br />If a cat shows you its belly and seems to want affection, try scratching under the cat's chin or around the cheeks. <br />
