She's a funny girl. She loves head rubs and belly rubs, but if you try to rub down her back, she cringes away and puts her belly to the ground. She hates when I rub near her stump as well.
She had a broken pelvis from a car accident 2 months ago now and we got her after that. I have no idea of her history before that because she was a stray, but I wonder what makes a cat who loves pets not like to be rubbed down her back. She doesn't like being brushed for the same reason. She also NEVER rubs up against us either. She's affectionate, but not in that way.
Could this be accident related or could this be just her? I don't think I know of any cat, included the many cats of the shelter I've worked with who doesn't like a rub down the back and a scritch just above the tail, and who wont rub around my legs.
