My cat wakes me up every night somewhere between 4 and 5 and asks for belly rubs. She goes back to sleep after 5-10 minutes.
My cat keeps waiting patiently till I open my eyes, and as soon as she notices Im awake she runs up to my head and starts rubbing her own head against my face. She gets so worked up she sometimes does little cartwheels.
She certainly did!
Btw, I work from home and when she wants belly rubs, she comes to me and starts touching me with a paw. That’s how she asks for belly rubs when I’m sitting in my chair, haha. She’s obsessed with belly rubs!
