I had a tortie growing up who would LOVE it if you rubbed along her spine and tailbone really hard back and forth, quickly. She'd flatten out like a pancake and purr up a storm. she also liked it if you rubbed her on both sides / ribs back and forth really hard too.

My other cats, not so much :)

My Jade enjoys her 'spankins' too, she'll pester us no end until one of us accommodates her.
After about three rounds of spankins every evening, she's ready to cuddle.
She's a weirdo.

Here's a couple of videos of a cat spank sessions (not my cats)
The cats in both videos appears to be thoroughly enjoying it, so I don't think our cats so strange.
Cat Spanking 1

Cat Spanking 2
Those videos were so funny! The way the first one hugged the guy while he did it, & the second video, when he stopped, I loved how the kitty pawed really fast on his knee, as to say,

"more, more, more!!!" LOL!!!!!!! Cracked me up!! Angel likes some firm pat,pats on his hiney too (like a dog)  when he's standing up, but I've never done it as hard as those videos!!

I don't think he would like it for as long either, or he looks at me like, "hey,hey, that's enough now."

I have three female cats and they not only love being patted on the back, from the tail up to even their shoulders.  It makes Catnip seem mild.  Two of the cats actually come and get me, I usually pat them on this one particular rug.  They meow and meow more till I follow them to the rug, or the get in their really cute position that makes it unable to walk away.  They are really interrupting my life

its just like being pat on the head execpt that its the nerve connection between the tail and the bone so its a soft nerve and its just like being pat on the head but they feel it more its normal for every cat to do it so dont worry to much about it.

Every cat we have had loves this, but Roger seems to need it! He is 3 and is a black kitty, and hints to me a few times a day he needs to be spanked right next to his tail on his back. It makes him hyper and his pupils get huge...he grabs anything around him and bunny kicks hard.

Is Roger neutered?

Out of all 8 of my kitties, Duck is the only one who likes "spanks." Correction....Duck LOVES spanks! I will spank her on the top of her back at the base of her tail. She will put her chin flat on the floor and make little quacky sounds while she moves forward, finally flopping over on her side. If she moves too far away from my hand by the time she flops, she'll get right back up and come over for more spanks. She is such a weirdo! :-)

I have a 14 year old cat and ever since he was a baby, he would flop to the floor on his side. I have to pick his bottom up by his tail and spank the underside ( the hip he is laying on). I have to spank him hard, but not hard enough that it hurts obviously. As I'm doing this he claws his way across the carpet. When I stop he gets up and tears around the house like a crazy person. I really don't have the answer to this, but I just thought I would also put it out there that It seems to be something most all cats enjoy.

Both my male Ragdoll and female DSH like rough petting (but no to spanking). They love having their skin kneaded HARD on their necks both on their back and under their chin. I figure it is like a massage.

My cat Lilly LOVES when I pat her,the harder the better. If I leave to do anything else but pat her she'll start meowing like crazy. She will rub on me and purr a lot when I pat her. If any of my other cats try to play with me Lilly will attack them until they leave. Every day when I get home from school Lilly will run to me,sit down in front of me,and stay there until I pat her.I cant believe some cats like to be patted on the back. Lilly is the only cat I have ever seen that likes to be patted.

Lilly is so weird.

 That's funny!   Angel likes it too,.... to a point. When he's had enough, he'll turn around & meow at me like, "That's enough mom!"   


...And welcome to TCS!!!

I vaguely recall reading an article on this. The current line of thinking is that 'spanking' or 'patting really hard' can help improve blood flow in a way similar to petting can, and that makes it desirable to cats for some reason.

To Angels Mommy,

thanks for the welcoming. Also when Lilly is done being patted she puts her paw on my face. She never really has her claws out but sometimes she does.


P.S her claws are sharp!

Whenever I tap my fingers on anything hard Lilly will come running and meowing to me like(PAT ME,BEAT ME!). Also sometimes if shes on a table she will get so she'll fall off the table.Lilly has this spot by her tail where if you squeeze her there she will roll over.  One time when I woke up Lilly was in my face meowing like crazy. I love Lilly but she can get a little annoying sometimes.

When I pat Lilly she goes like this(!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!)

When I'm not patting Lilly she goes(????????
????????)

I have a three year old neutered Ginger Tom who loves being finger tapped on his head quite hard. He closes his eyes in a blissful way and makes no effort to escape from my lap. Seems quite bizarre but guess he would lash out and leave if he didn't like it. All I can assume is he likes the rough and tumble of a cat fight secure in the knowledge he won't actually get hurt.

Maybe its like a massage. The guy in cat spanking 1 video, wasn't doing it hard _cat seemed fine with it. Very odd other way. Hehe. I'll tap them firmly there but I'm very very careful.
