Describe your cat's personality with one photo:
A smokey black kitten with faint tabby stripes laying on her back with her paws curled, looking at the camera, hoping that you rub her tummy. Contrary to cat parent intuition, it isn't a trap, she realllllly loves it when you rub her tummy. It's why her name is Belly.
