Cat Parents on TikTok Attempt "Scientific" Technique Sworn to Disable Your Cats K!ll Drive for Belly Pets
Cats can often be confusing—one moment you think they're enjoying your pets as they purr and press up on you and then a second later they're hissing and swatting their mvrder mittens at you. What is it you want, kitty cat?! I'm just trying to love you! One TikToker says she's discovered a scientific technique that has proven time and time again to work for her to disable your kitty's k!ll drive:
Step 1: You have to touch the belly.
Step 2: Switch to petting the cat.
Step 3: From there, immediately start patting the bum.
Step 4: Pat until the cat turns around to bite you, and then push it over.
Step 5: Kill drive disabled, enjoy giving your kitty belly rubs.
Many TikTokers have been trying the technique with mixed results. Some have had great success in the steps, while others have walked away with injured hands. All for the name of science, though!
