They are comfortable and delighted at the petting. They arch their backs and stick their rear-ends in the air to show they like it.

When they were kittens, the mom cat had to check their backsides to be sure there was no infection or to clean them if they were messy back there. My male is 5 and still does that to me. It is supposed to be a complement.

They want you to pat their butt and pet their tail too.
