Hi... it was me that suggested that brilliant idea sorry it didn't work too well! You said that Dylan didn't used to ever let you pet his belly? Well then now that it is a new thing, then I think you are just now seeing the normal reaction to too much belly rubbing? Sounds "simple" I know ... but my Dexter ... who is a Maine Coon mix like Dylan can only handle soo much of belly touching, then he bites and HARD! Maine Coon mixes tend to be nippers anyways, as it seems! I guess you just have to find the appropriate time / mood to attempt the belly rub with him!

We love you Dylan, just don't bite mommy quite so hard .... take it from Dexter ... it gets you bumped out of the lap REAL FAST!!!
