Many pet owners often mistakenly think that when cats roll over, it's a sign of affection, but there are actually multiple meanings behind this behavior. The Japanese pet website "ねこちゃんホンポ" points out that this action by cats not only indicates relaxation but may also be a preparation for a counterattack. While a cat rolling over generally signifies that they feel safe, experts warn that it does not mean they want to be touched; many cats do not like having their bellies touched, and forcing them to be petted could lead to an attack. This analysis has sparked lively discussions among netizens, who are sharing their own experiences.

Many pet owners think that when cats lie down and show their bellies, it is a sign of affection or submission, and they can't help but want to reach out and pet them. However, this seemingly cute behavior actually contains multiple meanings, and sometimes it can be entirely different from what we imagine.

A Japanese pet website analysis indicates that there are many different explanations for a cat rolling over to show its belly, and it is not just a desire to be petted or an expression of trust. Experts reveal that this action can sometimes be a signal of preparing to counterattack; when cats feel at a disadvantage, they may adopt this belly-up strategy and use their powerful hind legs and sharp claws to respond to threats.

In general, cats expose their bellies because they feel relaxed, for example, to help dissipate heat in hot weather, or in a familiar environment where they feel safe, so they will lie belly-up defenselessly. However, experts remind us that this does not mean that cats want to be petted; many cats actually do not like others touching their bellies, and forced petting may lead them to respond with claw swipes or bites.

This analysis has sparked lively discussions among netizens, with many commenting: "So showing their belly has so many meanings," "No wonder I'm always attacked when I pet the cat's belly XD," "I thought I could take the opportunity to pet them haha," "My cat really just wants to fight when it shows its belly," "Just because it's exposed doesn't mean you can touch it!!".
