Does your cat flop down on the floor to greet you?

[Roon]

Barney does that with my boyfriend.

[auntAgonist]

1. yes! Rogue will walk in front of me

then FLOP and meow loudly. I've almost tripped over him a couple of times. He's such a big cat too 22lbs! He's all fluff!

[Roon]

2. Cute! eom

[devilgrrl]

3. The late great Calvin did that all the time!

Boy, do I miss him! :cry:

[Roon]

4. Awwww!

:hug:

[devilgrrl]

9. Want to see a picture of him?

[Roon]

10. What a wondeful kitty!!

:o

[begin_within]

5. Yes he rolls over and puts his paws up.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

6. Nope, she twitches her tail and then runs to her food bowl

It's funny- only the tip of her tail twitches. The rest of it just stands straight up.

[ashling]

19. Patches has a tail that does that, too

her tail is charcoal grey, buy the tip is tan. Its amazing how sometimes just that tan part twitches .

[Flaxbee]

7. Yes! Ivan, a gigantic tuxedo with a head the size

of a softball, will stroll into the house, start to walk sloooowwllly, stretch out a bit and then FLOP onto his left side. HIYA! I'M HERE!

He's the first cat I've ever known who does that. And this household has had many, many cats.

[Roon]

11. I LOVE Tuxedos!! eom

[Heidi]

8. That's cat-speak for

"Rub my belly. It's not like you have anything _else_ meaningful to do right now." :)

[gristy]

12. Yes!

Especially when I've just come home. I love her to death.

[mikeytherat]

13. Just like this:

Little Man Tate says, "Hello!"

[Strong Atheist]

21. Great pic! nt.

[LaurenG]

14. mine just come down the stairs talking about their day

and then we have the head butt ritual.

[Roon]

27. I used to have a black cat that would head butt

and it was funny, he would head butt our guests sitting on the couch. My ex got custody :-(

[crispini]

15. No, as soon as they hear me coming up the walk,

one sits in the front window and meows loudly, demanding dinner.

The other couldn't care less. "Oh, you home?"

[ET Awful]

16. Nah, they both greet me at the door though. Althea will flop down

when she wants her belly rubbed. Somehow she manages to do this in a padded and carpeted floor but still produce an audible thud as she flips from her feet to her back :P

[LynneSin]

17. Not only does Abbott flop he does it with a twist so he's belly up

it's all one quick swift movement!

[KitchenWitch]

18. No, my dearly departed Tinkie just used to follow me around the house

meowing incessantly!

[graywarrior]

20. Yes. Flop, roll and stretch.

Then if he doesn't get attention, he bites ankles.

[ccjlld]

24. Tucker does that!

Only if he doesn't get the attention he wants, he doesn't go for ankles, he goes for more meaty part of the leg, like your calf! An he waits till you're about 5 foot away and then does a running attack!

[ChipsAhoy]

22. LOL!

Yes, and sometimes he looks like he's hurting himself, he flops so hard down on his side then rolls over. Adorable!

[flamingyouth]

23. Papa does that.

He loves to flop at everyone's feet, whether or not they're carrying anything. Needless to say, he's been stepped on.

[Orsino]

25. The term is "flump"...

...from "flabby" and "thump." It's a tuck-and-roll that kitties will perform if they're really in the mood for you to come pet them.

[kedrys]

26. Evie performs serial barrel rolls

The other cats mostly head butt and give high-fives.

[politicat]

28. That's a trap in this house.

Fuzzy doesn't like having his belly rubbed, so if he flops and one is crazy enough to take the bait, he'll bunnykick the hell out of your hand.

It's become a game now - can we tickle the belly without needing a transfusion and a skin graft, or does Fuzzy win?

[derby378]

29. Yep - our girl cat, Bonnie

Sometimes she does it so hard that it knocks the wind out of her. She's silly.
