Show of tummy is a show of trust.
Mazy cat trusts me enough to know I will not betray that trust! Jennie-Jennie likes tummy rubs, and Queen Eva will show her tum, but roll over if I reach to touch, EXCEPT when being combed. She likes her tummy combed.
Mazy cat came from the shelter with a yeast infection in her ears and there is no knowing how long she had it. She's had chronic ear problems all her life stemming from that. I had hoped the diet change 3 1/2 years ago would make a difference, but it hasn't really. The ACV has, definitely, but she still builds up wax, especially in the left ear, and then her ear gets all red. Just not nearly as often, since starting the vinegar, and this flare up came two weeks after I had stopped giving her the ACV.
