He's a good 15 pounds, very gentle and sweet, but occasionally will set the same trap. Like TK, he rolls onto his back, stretching out to his full, impressive length while giving me his "come hither" look, the murder button set and active. Only when my hand and arm are shielded by a long sweatshirt sleeve, he gets a belly rub worth remembering and I emerge unbloodied.

She had a delay built in to her murder button.

Three shall be the number of the skritches and the number of the skritches shall be three. Four shalt thou not skritch, neither shalt thou scritch twice, excepting that thou then proceedeth to thrice. Five is right out.

But her murder button doesn't get activated from that. It usually happens after a bit of brushing.

11. Why You Shouldnt Pet Your Cats Belly

Your cat is showing that she feels very comfortable and not threatened. She’s secure enough in her immediate environment to enjoy the warmth of the sun on her tender tummy. Just don’t ruin that moment by thinking it’s ok to pet her in such a vulnerable spot.

Many humans react in very same way, and for the same reasons
