Tiger used to like to lay on his back with his feet splayed out. Since
he was shaved (three weeks ago) he has not done this at all. Maybe he
was doing this in an effort to cool off (he did it in the winter too)
and now with all the fur removed he doesn't need to. I miss seeing him
do that.

It'll grow back. Hair is like that. ;)

When they display their bellies it's true trust and love! Won't see
that ever in a feral.

A little while ago I saw Tiger on his back. This was the first time in
three weeks.

Glad things are back to normal.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if being shaved made him feel more
vulnerable...the belly up position requires a bit of confidence in a
cat :)
I bet he starts doing it again once the weather cools or his hair is
all back, whichever comes first.

It can't be confidence. Nipsy is the biggest wuss in the world and
does that.
