Out of the four cats I have (2 males, 2 females) our two females respond the most to it, one even has gone so far as to collapse. The boys only slightly.
Sleeves luuuurves it he purrs like a machine and Nismo did it for the first time last night, just a quick one though, so that nobody saw, she's too busy bouncing off the walls to have time for affection
Rice must be wierd.. He hates it when you pet him there.. and will actually stop purring.
My mothers cat on the other hand LOVES IT.

well, i don't know about overly responsive, but all i've ever had were/are females & they all do this. Pixel & Java do it more than Cable...
Sunni had major elevator butt goin' on...
Sophie will do it, but it isn't her favorite place to be scratched. Cassie will bite me if I try. Luna could care less where I scratch, as long as I'm scratching. Same with Percy!

That's right too, if Gibby is getting a skricth his butt goes mostly down too, and Molly's goes up so high that she looks like an inchworm, and tips over.
We have 39 cats and all of them do "elevator butt" (that's what we've always called it, too, LOL! Glad to see we're not alone in that!).
I went up to where Elmo's sister lives and she was doing the rump raise when I was scratching her!
Mine too. Don't know why they do it.
Elevator Butt.... hah....!
All of mine do it. 3 males & 3 females. HOWEVER: Zorro (male) does not like it after a certain amount of minutes. He is real loving & affectionate, but then he gets mad & bites & struts off.

Both of mine do it. Tripod meows softly after I've been scratching him there for awhile. Mouser (RIP sweet Mousey) used to do it, but after awhile she would meow and then give a mild warning bite.
Of our two only Topaz responds and she is female.
Oscar (male) does and it is SO funny
Mooch and Tiger also did the elevator butt thing.
Ophelia is too busy prancing when she gets petted to actually do Elevator Butt.
Trent will, but not for the base of his tail being petted. He prefers a two handed scratch on the sides of his butt and hind legs. He's silly.
I've always called it Caltitude, which I read in the 80s book Sniglets where they made up words to describe every day things. Cat+Altitude=Caltitude

I've mostly always had male cats and they all did it, but now I only have females - two do it and one doesn't.
cute term for it though!

Summer does, so did all of the cats I had growing up.
When my neighbor's cat is scratched at the base of the tail, he not only does "elevator butt", he also licks the air all around him or your clothing if close enough very quickly. It seriously is the funniest thing I've ever seen!
