I lived in a shared house with someone with a cat for a year. The Tuxedo male cat never minded me petting him under the chin for long, but on the belly.. You'd be pushing it

Only one of my eight cats is like this, but even then it's when he's not in his petting mood. During his petting mood he can't get enough of pets.

I've trained my cat to put a paw on me when he's done. He gets overstimulated.

Petting mostly around their head often helps prevent or at least delay this. It's often full body petting that sets them off.

Mine are the masters of big skin twitch. They are not gonna hit you but they will abruptly leave if you do not lift that hand pronto.

Cats know we're pathetic and overly emotional, yet they choose to love us anyway. That’s the humiliating part.

Never comes around on my time but as soon as I fall asleep with my hand draping over the couch it's time for them to enact the " forced petting" procedure.

Meanwhile, dogs when you have been petting them for 15 minutes and stop for a moment
