Hello!
Recently, my Maddox will come up to me to pet him. He really loves for me to rub the base of his tail. First, I'll hold out my hand and he comes and rubs his head against my hand and move so that he rubs my hand down his back. Once I hit the base of his tail, he gets stiff as if he's paralyzed, and topples over onto his back with his feet in the air. He is is pure bliss
The minute that I move my hand, we do it all over again. He would let me do it all night if I would. Does anyone else's cat do this?

It's just the cutest thing to me. At first, I was paranoid thinking that I "hit a nerve" but the fact that he keeps coming back says that he loves it.

Pearl will stretch out her neck and lick the air when I hit a certain spot at the base of her tail. If I put something in front of her tongue, she will lick it, too. It is a great way to give meds without a fight. She really loves it if I put my cheek next to her so she can lick my face.Silly girl.

Seldon does that. His eyes almost cross and he collapses. He loves it! We laugh every time he does it.
