I meant they were (apparently) available to be rubbed by the photographer. Would never touch without becoming acquainted and certain of welcome.

I'm sorry about your loss of Miss Midget. Our Bubbles is 17. She's been diabetic since 2003 except for a few months early in 2007 and since September 10 of this year. Not worrying about hypoglycemic episodes is great while it lasts. Achieving control through diet eliminated that concern for you.

Edit: Upon rereading your comments, I suspect Miss Midget's tummy rubbing rules applied to the photographer and you weren't telling me what I thought you were.

Oh, absolutely. I would never even think to question your wisdom about our furry friends.

I also know I am not telling you anything you don't know that these feline friends of ours are just as individual as we humanoids are. As soon as one thinks they know how we will respond, based on their knowledge of other humans, we'll surprise them.

I'm just introducing Miss Midget who pretty much always defied anyone's idea of how a feline might behave in a given situation, but I know you know all about that kind of contradiction.
