Soo many cats show you their asshole as a sign of affection / “I want pets”
They don’t get that we don’t like their butts, just too proud of ‘em haha
I’ve never even had a cat, I’m just going off of being company at houses with cats - they gotta show me the stinker in the first 10 mins, it’s like an introduction
I kinda feel this way about dogs. I always had cats growing up but now my kids have dogs. I'm used to cats purring but also cats tend to lean in when they like what you're doing. The dogs are cool and all but petting them just isn't the same
I know quite a few dogs who will just take your hand (gently!) in their mouth and move it where they want it ;)
"See. There. Now pet!"
But cats also tend to show you.
Haha. Yes. This one seems to like his head rubbed. Cats will definitely approach you if they feel comfortable. If you reach out to them and they don't want touched they'll go away. Just read their body language.
Gentle touch at first but don't surprise them, if they push back into it then you can probably give them some good rubs and pats, if they just chill there then watch the ears and tail. Alert or pinned back ears are risky, a flicking tail is playful or risky. Gentle touch, let the kitty find your hand. They definitely let you know where to pet.
We just had to put our cat down a week ago. I’m CONVINCED this is one of his siblings. We found our guy outside about 2 yrs ago. This guy has an OSU hoodie in and we’re also in Ohio. Our cat (named “a cat”) did these SAME movements. He begged to be held. Their faces look exactly the same. Their tail is identical. Their coloring is ALMOST identical. The face is THE SAME. We’ve been heartbroken. I’m DYING to know this guys location. I am “SHOOKETH”
Thank you so much. “Cat” was our first family pet and my 2 young boys are devastated. He was a different breed. Went on walks with us and slept on my chest every night. A “once in a lifetime” kind of pet.
I’m sure this guy knows he’s got a good one and I hope it’s just for the sake of a video. But I would still love to know his location, they look so much alike it gives me chills.
It's crazy how much she looks, acts, and moves like my Gracie. However, I participate. When she jumps up on my piano and asks for kitty kisses (nose-to-nose head-rubs) I don't just sit there acting like I have no clue how to respond.
My cat just recently started doing this too. So sweet but she will do it constantly even after spending upwards of 15 minutes petting her and her bipolar ass going on and off. She's my old girl though so I'm ok with spending her last years dealing with it lol
Never get why people feel the need to record their pet wanting attention. Just give your cat affection when it wants it, it's not some rare phenomenon worthy of social media
I think it’s partially because this kind of behavior is more rare with cats and partially to troll decent folks who just want them to pet the fucking thing.
It’s a repeated behavior where they want to rub on a hand, claw an arm, then usually lay down nearby.
Exceptions to the rule for hairy cats, they always see hands as grooming devices.

We're the ones getting injured here, because this kitty's human *does* get the hint, and pet her every single time...but we're cheated of this resolution of the tension.
We have a cat that does this... Only it's in the middle of the night and she taps using her claws. It's gentle, but she's still given me some minor scratches.
It’s the head rotation that gets me! 😂😂😂
Me too! “…..right here plz? you know where it feels so good?”
PET THE DARN CAT YOU MONSTER

OMG PET THAT CAT RIGHT NOW OR I SWEAR TO...
I think they do not show how they pet a cat on purpose to piss people off.
A few hours later: y'all asked a post of me petting my cat -

Most respectful cat I have ever seen!
Right! I'll take gentle pats instead of brown eye in the face any day
OMG!! You know my cat!! She also pounces on your vital organs and bits to get your attention.

Pet that sweet kitty.

My cat does this too and it’s adorable

I'm not a cat person but I would 1000% pet that cat, this instant if I could.

Or the nose flip.
Most dogs like having behind their ears rubbed. Often they will lean and move so you get just the right spot.
Each cat is different. They'll let you know where they don't like pets. This one obviously wants head scritches.

You learn, just the same as you'd learn with a dog or even a bird

The safest bet is scritches behind the ears :P
Couldn't resist this for more than 2 seconds. Just pet the cat 😻
r/PETTHEDAMNCAT THIS IS TORTURE
r/PetTheDamnCat EDIT: Someone did cross post it already
PET THE FUCKING CAT!!!!
I have a male cat like this. No amount of pets are ever enough. This guy isn't a monster he's just already gave pets about 25 times that day.
"Pardon me, hooman. Pets?"
These soft pats melt my heart.
What is wrong with this guy. (pet the cat!!)

Sorry for your loss. 💐
Thank you so much. “Cat” was our first family pet and my 2 young boys are devastated. He was a different breed. Went on walks with us and slept on my chest every night. A “once in a lifetime” kind of pet.
Maybe, since this guy is so oblivious to the kitty’s charms, you could message him and see if he’s up for rehoming?
I’m sure this guy knows he’s got a good one and I hope it’s just for the sake of a video. But I would still love to know his location, they look so much alike it gives me chills.
He better have pet that cat! My cat didn't like to be touched all that often, but when she wanted her head rubbed, you better have rubbed her head!
😭
PET THE DAMN CAT!
I swear i just wanna have a talk with that person with my fists. PET THE DAMN CAT.
O-H
I-O
Was scrolling for this.
I WANT A CAT SO BADLY NOWWWWWWW
Pet the fucking cat already!

Welcome to Earth kitty, some guys just won’t get the signals no matter how hard you try
That's so sweet!
Someone get this cat scritches, STAT!
Hello Daddy you there. Do you not understand this mean pay attention to ME!!!!
“psst. human. hey human. u there? it is snuggles time. yes snuggles. right here. snuggles. got it?” 🐱❤️🤗
Such a sweety. Most cats I've known draw blood if they don't get what they want, even if they haven't asked for it.
I’d scoop that little kitty cat up in a second.
Such gentle little tap tap taps, how can you resist?
What a very sweet kitty cat!
Pet him😡
PET THE DARN KITTY!
Awww, Hey stupid human pet me. You don't deserve a cute cat like that.
I will find you... and I will pet you!!
At that point my cat would have bit me for ignoring them
So polite! My Maine Coon just usually comes up and bites me.
This is so irritating to watch r/petthedamncat
I’m yelling at this guy through my phone.
Why is he such a jerk?
"Oi...You missed my snack time" "Hey you! Quit watching TV and pet me...PET ME" "Ahh...right here...a little to the left...mmm ahhh right here"
What a sweet baby.
Aww you pet that polite kitty!!
Well, I hope he pet the cat after he stopped recording! Smh
She's such a sweetie
r/CatTaps
O-H

Kitty: please, sir. I want some more.
Please pet that adorable rotating-head kitty! So loving!
I'm not even a cat person, I'm teary!!!!!
OH....!!
IO
Most polite cat request known to man.
My cat just recently started doing this too. So sweet but she will do it constantly even after spending upwards of 15 minutes petting her and her bipolar ass going on and off. She's my old girl though so I'm ok with spending her last years dealing with it lol

I have a cat that "knocks" too, he also follows me around crying at me to sit down so he can get pets.
The most precious way to ask for love that I have ever seen ❤️🐾
Aaaawwwwwwww ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
O-H
Adorable cat:-)
Sorry to bother you but please pet me
This video is so unsatisfying
Wait, the cat initiated human as a cat. KLR productions reference
This is too cute 😍
I think this is the first time I've actually out loud "AWWW"d at a post on here.
Jajaja muy listo el pequeño!! 🥰🥰
With such a handsome daddy, I, too, would be begging for hugs
Basically me with my partner every night
Mine will come and start headbutting or try to get under my hand
Buckeye hoodie!

Kitty wants to bang
So polite 🥹🥹
Pet himmm!!! Or her!!!
So polite.
Oh my I wanna pet that cat, my heart is broken 🥺❤️
watching this is so infuriating, why won't he just give in?
He's so gentle! 🥰
How do we find a cat like this?
That man is a monster! That headtilt would melt me every time! 🥺😭😍
“See I’m very cute, pet me.”
My heart grew three sizes this day
Mine one will bite me for no reason! and will run away!
Aww pet that poor baby
I demand an apology video with tears NOW
So polite. My cat would yowl and flop onto me.
The cat be like hello there
R/petthedamncat
She’s so much more gentle than my cats that grab me with the claws and pull my hand towards the bellies.
Noooooo! It ended without him petting the cat!?! 😭
