For cat two the true answer is "only when she's ready to be touched at all", which is in mark contrast to the "yes, always" for cat one.

Kingston: Sometimes flops over and says, "Hey, pet me!" and does not bite or scratch at all.

River: Frequently shows the belly, but does not actually like being belly-pet much. Was very spiky about this (mostly with claws) in the first year we had her, hence the trap-ness of it all, but is much less spiky now that we've had her for almost two years now.

Phoebe very rarely shows her belly, and doesn't want it touched when she does. She won't attack, but she'll immediately roll over and walk away. Phoebe isn't big on pets generally, though. She likes having her head and face rubbed, and she'll accept pets to her back sometimes, but overall she's not a physically affectionate cat. I've had to learn to accept her on her own terms, and give her a lot of space.

My cat has trained me well. The usual flop down means "pet my head/ let me rub my head on your hand." (Well, it could also mean "touch my belly and die," but I avoid testing that theory, anymore.)

Storm In A Teacup (part Siamese) belly = beartrap

Adora (Ragdoll) belly = safe to pat. When she's had enough, she will either
a) very firmly push my hand away with a single velveted paw (no claws)
b) roll over
c) get up and walk away

My cats love tummy rubs, but only from hubby and I.

I can't reply because there's no option for "Sometimes, when the planets are aligned juuuust right, but nobody knows when that is except for the cat".

Cat one, Monty, likes tummy scritches so much that she'll body-pin your hand in place so the only thing you can reach and scritch is her tummy.

Since all of my cats are neighbors encountered on my walks, I have to learn the rules with every new friend.

Even though my three cats are two standard poodles and a blue tick hound, they do enjoy scritches.

Yes, up to a certain point! Also enjoys being gently brushed on the tummy. Possibly more than the petting.

Cat One is a grumpy very old fellow now and eats hands approaching his tummy. Cat Two is an adorable fluffball girl who loves a tummy tickle and gently bunny kicking the tickling hand.
