The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My cat always does this, can someone explain why?
Turning their back to you: they feel safe and trust you.
Putting their butt in your face: they want you to lick it, as their mother would.
Obviously, don't do that, but instead, give their haunches and above-the-tail backside a good scritch
Rolling on their back: they're exposing their vulnerable stomachs to you as a show of trust. this is not an invitation to touch their stomach
slowly closing their eyes while looking at you: this is also a sign of trust. You can do it back to them to make them happier
Unless the cat is in the same position pictured in op, because in my experience their tail will go up and you will have a butthole directly in your face 😂
Dude, just don't lick your cat's butthole. It's not complicated.

The cat looked unhappily back at its butt. The problems resulting from concurrently wearing a built-in fur coat, pooping, and not having any hands to operate toilet paper were clearly not appreciated by the human.
To the third: ymmv. My babies LOVE belly scratches, though they’ll give you a soft love bite if you overstimulate them.
When my cat would lay on her back, I'd grab and hold her paw that she stuck in the air. Then I'd say "Donkey. Donkey. Hey Donkey! My ears are tied, and Donkey Donkey Donkey!"
Why would I say this? Because cats don't speak english. You can say ANYTHING as long as it's in a positive voice!
I once said “meow” in a positive voice and the cat looked at me as if I had just offended six generations of mothers.
Try saying "Donkey" a lot. Cats love Shrek.
Too late chief now i have scratches on my hand
Some cats will accept belly rubs... If you gaslight them
They feel safe around you, and they also want to protect you in case of attack.
