It's not recommended to touch a cat's belly, especially if you're not familiar with the cat. Cats are very wary, and their bellies are a vulnerable and sensitive area. Suddenly touching a cat's belly, or touching the belly of a cat you don't know well, can easily result in being scratched or bitten.
