Cats who love to have their armpits scratched. Weird?

All of mine suddenly started enjoying that a lot. They stretch their arms so I can reach their armpits, and the purring is seismic.

What's up with that?

4. No, they like it all over. They are exposing the belly, but they also

like the head, around the ears, a full massage, that's what my cat likes, a complete rub down, like an athlete after a big league game. Even flexing out into the paws and claws.
They also like a soft pull onto the ears, not a pull, just rubbing out on the ears.
And gently clean out the ears, also.

7. Oh, mine get the full rubdown

But the whole armpit thing is somewhat more recent.

A couple of them even let me rub their poosies without stabbing me with all the pointy ends. :P

9. Mine is iffy on that.

Sometimes she likes it; other times, she may play-bite or otherwise send the message that it's not appreciated. Same with rubbing/scratching her belly. But there are times when she just wants to be adored, and her purring gets REALLY loud.

She likes it when I talk to her; she'll drop over on her side (I ask her to "gimme a kitty flop") and then roll around until she's almost at my feet wanting what I call "attenshuns." Like she doesn't want to be too obvious that she wants to be petted. She's funny, and a great little cat.

11. Weird as all get out.

I don't know where you're from, but around here, we love having our armpits scratched by cats!

... Seriously. My cat can't get enough of burrowing into my armpit, gnawing and clawing.
