ChatGPT correction
Petting cats can be harder than you might think! Some parts of a cat’s body are not meant to be touched, and petting these areas can make your cat feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, there are some areas that will have them purring with delight. I will list them from best to worst, using the Feline Petting Chart as my reference:
OMG yes! – The front of their tail (best)
Yes. – Petting from head to tail
Sure. – The top of the belly
Worth a try. – The bottom of the neck close to the belly and the front leg
Nope. – The legs
Just stop. Do not touch the tail
Certain death. – NEVER touch the belly! (worst)
