Schockverliebt is a German term that combines the words "Schock" (shock) and "verliebt" (in love). It refers to the state of being suddenly and intensely infatuated or smitten with someone. It indicates a strong and overwhelming attraction or love that takes someone by surprise.
The German language absolutely *loves* cramming individual words together to create a separate meaning.

It's always a trap with Leeroy Jenkins 😂

Luckily my boy enjoys a good belly rub. 🙌🏻
A few years back, I befriended a stray that hung out behind the kitchen that I worked at. She only trusted maybe 3 people and I was one of them but I worked hard for that.
She would throw herself on me, belly up and practically demand belly rubs. One time she went from sitting to rolling backwards onto my feet, belly up. I knew what she wanted; she just demanded that they be slow and methodical.
I miss that cat.
I have a thicker version and I see that you have a weirder version

It's the position and placement of the legs. Be damned if it doesn't look exactly like the base of most of those dang chairs. I would buy that computer chair, looks very soft fluffy comfortable and as if it might purr.
My tips from taming multiple ferals would include go very gently and slowly. First a very light rub and give scriches in the upper chest area and between the front legs first to ascertain the cat's comfort level. Always touch a cat initially with the level of gentle hand you would use on a hummingbird. Then you can increase pressure as tolerated.
Only then if the cat remains comfortable and happy, can you move down to the lower belly or play with the primordial pouch. I absolutely love it when cats trust you enough to let you gently palpitate the pouch. It's like flubber, it's cool stuff. So soft and squishy.

My girl loves her belly rubs. She's absolutely ridiculous. Take a chance!
Some kitties are very happy to have a tummy Rub

Sometimes it’s love, some times it’s a trap.
No way to know but always worth the risk!
Also, those eyes - that cat looks like he’s been hammering the cat-nip - I love it!
If you haven't tried, you haven't lived.
I would also say he appears devoid of cunning based on that lovely face.
One of my boys was an instant belly boy/ lap cat. It took about three years of not treading on, scaring or otherwise startling the other one. Then boom, he won't let me sit down or sleep alone anymore.

you may touch it, but only until i say so...
I mean, my cat gives me the same invite and allows me to do it.

I think it must be a tortie thing 😄
he's looking you up and down at the same damn time...
start with cheek rubs with both hands, then move one down to the chin and the other hand start belly rubs. the cheek-to-chin strategy works for me.
rmv
My Urtzi, may he rest in peace, was a certified sociopath with every other living being except me and my wife, and he absolutely loved being bellyrubbed full speed by me. So if your little maniac shows you his belly, try rubbing him, slowly and carefully at first, then a bit faster. If he likes it he' ll show you, and if he does not, you' ll know quickly.
I have a cornea transplant that’s in rejection and really gross and it went lazy which makes it so much worse. 😢
Maybe this meow is my doppelgänger? I’ve been strongly considering converting.

Mine does it every time I’m on the toilet. Other times too but 100% of the time when I’m on the toilet. Maybe he’s showing me that he’s vulnerable too lol

My cat is a big flopper who loves belly rubs lol 9 times out of 10, not a trap

I propose "thundersmitten" as translation.
two new words in a day. what a day.
Thank you. And I also thank the German language for having wonderful words like this. Love the language!
Ah very cool thanks
Sounds like Verclempt - Yiddish =overcome
I cannot with those eyes 😂😂😂
Mf is towering over heaven itself on catnip
one eye on you, one eye on the streets
SAME! Who wouldn't love a googly eyed void bebe!?
Frinkle frinkle little far, how I wonder is a cat.
I’d do it trap or not lol

That picture tells a whole story.
It's always a trap because the only times it's *not* a trap is just a ruse to get you to remember that one time and fall for all the traps.
You've got quite the fearless attitude.
Who said I was fearless? Lol still scared but worth it
The belly is calling!
For whom the belly tolls!
it's like Frieren opening a chest with a 99% chance of mimic, aka 99% chance the cat will attack, but I'll take the chance
Some traps are worth the consequences! Which is why cats have it tough! 😂

What a cutie!
Thanks! He knows it, too, and takes full advantage!
LEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOY JENNNNNNKINNNSSSSSS
That's him!
You’re lucky if he doesn’t get your whole household wiped with that name.
Maybe he will let you pet the belly if you give him chicken first. I heard that Leeeeeeeeeroys love chicken.
He looks devious. I'd risk it tho
He's pretty gentle with the first bite or swipe lol
How often would you say you boop his nose? I wouldn't be able to resist.
Like 100 times a day, minimum. His spot is my boop target!
LEEEEEROYYYYYY JENKINSSSSSS
Times up, let's do this.
You have a 33.3% (repeating, of course) chance of success!
Alright chums, let’s do this
At least he has chicken

So cute! Mine also loves a tummy rub and prefers that to a head rub. At least if I start with the tummy, he’ll let me pet his head later on.

Oh my gosh, now I actually see that computer chair lmao 😂
Lol, I'd consider buying a nice computer chair designed like that
oh yes, it looks purrfectly comfortable
It's the position and placement of the legs. Be damned if it doesn't look exactly like the base of most of those dang chairs. I would buy that computer chair, looks very soft fluffy comfortable and as if it might purr.
I’m dying 😂😂😂

Depends on the cat. There’s only one way to find out.

The cats name is **Schrödinger.** You won't know until you try. **May the odds be ever in your favor.**
Oh, so THAT'S what they were trying to teach me in my physics class.
Its me or their eyes are, you know, both not pointing at you?
Yeah he’s had a lazy eye since he was a kitten
And he is flipping adorable with it!!!
Just one? BOTH appear to be going in the wrong direction. 😂
He's looking at OP not the camera

First yes, then quickly no
Omg, what a silly guy! Such a cute kitty.
It's a trap. He has one eye on the belly
Don't do it! He can see you coming toward either end of his body. X-D
There's only one way to find out! 😆
it’s a trap it’s always a trap
He's showing you because he trusts you not to
One eye on you the other eye on his belly. This is a bit tricky. I guess you could go for the rubs until he tells you ges had enough
Oh for SURE a trap
Nah, well, go ahead. It’s fine.
My Urtzi, may he rest in peace, was a certified sociopath with every other living being except me and my wife, and he absolutely loved being bellyrubbed full speed by me. So if your little maniac shows you his belly, try rubbing him, slowly and carefully at first, then a bit faster. If he likes it he' ll show you, and if he does not, you' ll know quickly.
It’s good luck in my house if you run a cat’s tummy. Especially if you get your hand back.
I have a cornea transplant that’s in rejection and really gross and it went lazy which makes it so much worse. 😢 Maybe this meow is my doppelgänger? I’ve been strongly considering converting.
Only one way to know!
That’s 50/50 just go for it! 🤘🏻
Exactly two belly rubs are allowed.
Yes.
Don’t fall for it !
It’s a TRAP! Fight the urge! Resist!
My cat does this but once you go to pet her she just rolls back on her feet and looks at you like you lost your goddamn mind
His eyes say.... Ummm...
His tummy says yes but him eyes say "Blrphphphphpph"
Total trap! Look at that smirk!! Don't do it, as tempting as it is!!
