I came about this site through google search. I was looking for information about a breed of cat that loves to flop onto its' back to get belly rubs. The google search brought up a topic that was on this site. Since this site was about cats I decided to join. :)

I know there is a breed of cat that behaves like our two do. I caught it by accident on the [B]Animal Planet[/B] titled: [I]Cats 101[/I]. I don't remember the breed so I decided to do a search. I saw part of the show probably a few months ago. Just getting around to searching.

I did see the post here about the cat that 'flops' and is fluffy. Sounds like our two. Both long haired white cats. They have been flopping onto their backs since we got them at about 4 months old. We took them, two other white ones and one gray tabby like and the other was a something like a tortoise but not full. Definitely mixed. We took them and their mother and had them spayed/neutered, only the white ones and mom. The other two had already gone to a new home.

When they were recouping from their surgeries, one of the little females surgery opened back up so we couldn't take her back to the farm yet. They were born in the garage. I decided to just keep the little female. [I]I had stated from the first time I saw these kittens, barely moving around mommy, I was going to have 2 of those little white ones![/I]

Well, we already had one cat. An orange tabby that we named Sassy, "The Cuddly Evil". I had hoped they would get along as Sassy was a bit of a possessive cat. She is another story that I may tell later. :)

Anyway, we named the little white fluffy female Flipper. She was always getting in front of us when we would be walking and then just flop over onto her back to have us rub her belly! We thought that was so cute! Didn't realize till later that this was a [B]trait[/B] that this cat had been born with. We have had her almost 2 years now and she continues to do this to us. Whether we are inside the house or outside. :)

I should mention we also have two large dogs which she just ignores. Which is a good thing. LOL

We took in her brother after he had been run over by one of the many cars that are out at the farm. His upper left bone from the shoulder to the 'elbow' was broken in 4 places. My mother-in-law paid for all of the surgeries and whatever else he needed to recoup. It took him several months to heal and recoup. The vet personnel fell in love with him! Besides the flopping onto their backs they have the most sweet/friendly personalities. Which is good and bad.

After he was healed my husband wanted to send him back to the farm. He is more of a dog person but he does love our kitties. :) I told him NO WAY! I have cared for him for the past 5-6 months and I'm not about to send him ANY WHERE!

So, in a round about way, I got my 2 white kitties after all! LOL

He had been named ages ago when he was still nursing on mommy by a friend of ours that was seriously into [B]Harry Potter[/B] and she named him Draco. It has stuck. :)

Not only are these two the most loving cats I have ever had, Sassy isn't that type of cat, but they BOTH do this flopping thing onto their backs in front of us to have their bellies rubbed!

Another thing that was cool about Flipper when her brother came to us and after he was able enough to be moving about around the other cats was she was always taking care of him. She would groom him. She would actually bring him 'food'. Yes, she would catch things and bring them to him to 'feed' him. She wouldn't kill the birds she would bring though. Luckily for the bird I was able to rescue the birds and let them go outside to return to their homes and lives!

A year later, she is still bringing in 'food' for all of us but now is killing them and leaving them for all of us. She is definitely a VERY good provider though uhm we don't need her help. LOL
