As I understand it, the showing of the belly is a sign of trust, and touching the belly, however playfully, may be taken as a breach of that trust.
This was taught to me by a very patient neighbourhood cat who joined me on my back doorstep one time.
(This may have been the universe’s cat distribution system in action, but I was neither able nor willing to heed the call. Cat was pretty chill for a stranger though.)

Belly up means 20 knives in every direction.
Although have found that its common for male orange tabbies to love belly rubs.

All my kitties love belly rubs.
Yeah same here, sample size 3. They all know they can’t use claws on skin when playing too
This cat
LOVED tum rubs. When we got her she would roll over and I was convinced it was a trap. It was not. She loved it.
Same with my fat fluffy cat he loves belly scratches.
Enlighten me. Why a rug on a carpet? That seems so foreign to me.
That may have been near the back door, so you could give your feet a quick wipe when you came in.
My kitty loved belly rubs.
“Fuck em up boys”

It was phrased in a way that left it open to play on the words, but it was for a laugh 💚 you’re fine
From the cat’s prospective, touching their belly is a betrayal of their trust.
My buddy fucking loves when he gets belly rubs. He just likes any physical attention, though, you can even pet his little beans and he’s into it.
i had to teach mine to love the beans attention, but i started early
