We had a family of 5 Cats, father, mother, and three kittens. Every one of them had petting preferences that we learned. Mama Bear loved full body rubs, the rougher the better. The Big Daddy cat liked a few light scratches, but he felt that affection was humiliating, especially in front of other cats. The kittens always loved lots of pets, their ears, their chins, their backs, etc.
Two of the cats loved their tummies rubbed, one was indifferent, and two disliked it intensely.
Everybody loved to get scratched on their backs at the base of their tail.
My longhair absolutely loves getting her belly brushed. She'll purr and make air biscuits while I do it.
