can anyone explain why Mio does this? She does this to us all the time--this was her first and only time doing this to Toro.

If you are referring to a cat showing her belly it depends on the context: it can be a defensive position (all 4 paws freed for the fight) or it can be the ultimate sign of trust and affection. The latter one is what the photo is showing in my opinion. Mio feels safe and happy and that's just the way to express that.

Depending on the cat, the belly is usually to be admired with your eyes and not with your hands. Caressing it may result in triggering a defensive response but it'll all depend on the cat and the situation.

Here is a nice read:

My cats roll over like that when they are happy and content. Tailspin adores a good tummy rub with his absolute favorite being the under arm scratch. Robbie likes his 'upper' tummy rubbed but too far south and he latches on with all 4!!

Beautiful! Love the film look, it somehow takes me back to "better times".

It's autumn down here and Yoda has found a perfect spot for her evening walk, taking full advantage of the weak setting sun.










Have to confess: I shoud definitely get out more with my camera! It has to be the first time I used the CPL filter for something different than getting bluer sky. I feel so... amateurish In fact I couldn't have taken these photos without that particular filter but all things considered: it's a good I went with the el-cheapo brand.

sometimes my panther remembers he's actually a cat and enjoys some neck rub:
