I think that is the right word. My cat was spayed about two months, but she still sticks her butt up when I scratch her. Is this anything to worry about. On a side note she sat on my lap for the first time at the weekend - yay!

It is nothing to worry about, perfectly normal reaction in response to the stimulus of scratching the back and the tail section.

My two boys do this also. They also always moon me when I pet them. I never heard it called elevator butt. But that is a good one...lol

Trent and Ophelia both do this. We call it "Caltitude", which I got many years ago from one of the Sniglets books (where they would make up words for common things that there weren't real words for).

My three do this too. Especially the youngest one...and the closest she can stick her butt in your face the better for her, lol
