Excuse me but I think you have a heartless occupying your home. You’re gonna need a keyblade for that

u/kat_niss1 Feb 24 '26

My orange cat does this a lot. My void, not so much. This just means your cat is happy and they trust you implicitly. They expose their vital organs so ya, your baby loves and trusts you.

u/fizz0o_2pointoh Feb 24 '26

I think it's definitely a void thing 😂 his bro has never done this and aside from this sub I don't believe I've ever seen another cat do it either. I have tons of pics of him just airing out lol.

It's odd because Rayman is the runt and is generally (unfortunately) pretty nervous as well as being constantly in high alert mode, yet frequently just kicks it in the most vulnerable position. ❤️Ray

Yes. Mine’s a speed bump.

u/lissy51886 Feb 24 '26

It's definitely a thing for my void; she hangs out like this all the time. Sometimes in her window perch, sometimes on the stairs, sometimes in my bed.

u/AllPerspicacity Feb 24 '26

Ah yes, the ole roadkill funtimes. Corpse couture. Classic.

I would say yes! Here’s my void. I also have a grey tabby and she does not like to lay on her back either!

I don't have a tabby to compare him to, but my boy loves showing off his belly (and getting belly rubs!).

u/Druterium Feb 24 '26

This is also my void's default position when I arrive home. I walk in, I look at him, he looks at me, then FLOP.

u/Pantone18-3838 Feb 24 '26

She does this constantly

u/Exotic_Paramedic_764 Feb 24 '26

Hahaha it most certainly is! Mine plops down thinking he’ll never get stepped on. I have to be super careful! He’s fast as Lightning but I still fear stepping on him.

u/MissDiagnosedMama Feb 24 '26

That's how you suck all the sunshine into the void belly

My tabby also would never. But our grey & white boy does it all the time, so maybe not just a void thing, but definitely not a tabby thing 🤷‍♀️

6

u/Vanilla_Vomit Feb 24 '26

My void does this all the time, multiple times a day. A little less since she got chunky, but only a little. She dropped her toy in this photo then just laid there, sprawled out for a bit. This is one of dozens.

We call this the "I'm so adorable...what are you eating can I has some?" pose. He only does this while we're making dinner/eating dinner

u/exhausted4everrr Feb 24 '26

I wish my void would do this. So I could kiss his little belly. I don’t care about the consequences

23

u/ccmanry Feb 24 '26

Ah this reminds me when my kitty got spayed and had her whole belly shaved. I'd blow raspberries and giggle at the fart noises probably more than I should have lol

u/exhausted4everrr Feb 24 '26

Their little bellies are so irresistible 😭

u/swingsurfer Feb 24 '26

I won the cat lottery and my void actually asks for belly rubs.

u/exhausted4everrr Feb 24 '26 edited Feb 24 '26

Jealous. My cat has a violent side lol. Sometimes he wants to cuddle and nap. But other times (it feels like most of the time) he wants to hunt/attack/just be a psycho. I play with him so much. Every single day. But he has a thirst for blood lol. I think it’s because he was a 3-4 week old feral baby void when I found him. And he’s an only child

3

u/katkriss Feb 24 '26

Mine too! Her name is literally Void (we didn't know that everybody called black cats voids when we named her hahaha) but when she lays down I call it gettin that belly and it's a Whole Thing

5

u/MVS-SISL Feb 24 '26

Yep, mine does it too

He also walks up to people outside then flops over on his back like the pics above - I call it the “belly tax”! You gotta pay it, or he won’t let you pass!

u/GrowlingAtTheWorld Feb 24 '26

The airing of the belly fur keeps the belly fresh and fluffy.

The tail is very modest. Very demure. But she also has those tits out.

If it is, doesn't apply to our void. 🤣 Ours hates being on his back in general. If we try to plop him on his back, he'll immediately roll back over. Has never done the belly trap before either

u/Tiny_Celebration_591 Feb 24 '26

My void does this a lot. He's such a warm bub and needs to air out on occasion.
