Step 5Moving on to hidden areas.
There are a few spots that cats consider gold mines when it comes to scratch time. And they're very easy to locate.
If you ever find your cat nudging your hand with his/her head, they want you to vigorously scratch their kitty cranium. (top of their head)
If your cat randomly puts his head up in the air exposing his chin area, and underside of his neck, consider this an invitation to scratch his chin and neck region.
If your little catzilla suddenly rolls over on their back and stretches themselves into a crescent shape, rub their bellies, under their front and back legs, and especially around their lower stomach where most of their hair turns white.
Cat's also love being scratched at the base of their tail, where tail meets butt, on the top of their back. This is a place where cats cannot reach with their paws, or very well with their tongues. Do them a favor by removing an itch they may have had for a while by scratching there.

She is a tiny 7 pound but full grown 'American Short hair' with a coat of black rings/stripes on gray and sweet beyond description. We share a mutual infatuation; she follows me everywhere.
I love her.
another thing cats (my cats at least) also like to be scratched on their jaws, almost in the neck (probably because their scent glands are their and the like that their scent is being rubbed of on you)
