Question rolling on cement floor

i noticed that my cats enjoy rolling and sunbathing on the cement floor at the porch. they don't roll around on the tiled floor. do your cats do this? why they love to roll on cement floor? it doesn't matter whether it is a warm afternoon or the rain just stops

Talking ... My puteri golek ...

My puteri golek tomei loves to indulge in flirtateous behaviour when I am around her. She will rush towards me, plop down and do this when I come home ...

... the others do it too, much to the amusement of my neighbours watching on ...

exactly!!! they roll and rub their bodies on the cement floor happily! last time when i saw my earlier cats do it i thought it was normal as they are outdoor cats and my parents' porch aren't tiled yet. but now my porch are part tiled and part cement floor. they only like the cement floor they don't do this inside anyway

They do it on the road too ... especially dekat the portion on the road yang ada bekas simen tertumpah waktu some careless contractor buat renovation umah dulu ... mcm syok having a goooooood scratch on the back! Reminds me of the bear in the cartoon Jungle Book having a good back rub on the tree trunk ...

Maybe that is the part of their body which they cannot reach and scratch themselves ...

oh my previous cats do it on the sandy part of the road at the front gate... esp right after bath and sometimes dog poo there too... then my dad re-surface the road to avoid the cats from rolling there (in case there is traces of dog poo)

Yeah, that is like a sand bath to them. Birds do it too. But dog poo ... huhhh!!! I hate these uneducated locals who take their dogs out to poo merata-rata (not the dogs' fault, it is their irresponsible owners).

In the West, the owners have to pick up the droppings otherwise kena saman!

I think habit untuk some kucing lah... mine also like that, suka tidur under morning sun lepas bila nampak I datang dia akan terus baring dan nak gua rabe perut dia.....nasib lah tak baring kat toilet. I dont let them into toilet, sabun and all that stuf, takut dia all nak buat tasting kan...

Fries pulak suka lompak atas riba and uli roti when I'm cleaning dia all punya litter box...

"Crazy, aren't they? Rolling in the dirt is basically a way of cooling off, or in many instances, it helps 'scratch an itch' also. Intact cats will roll around (especially females) to spread phermones to attract a mate".
