My daughter and SIL got a cat to teach our grandson how to relate to other living things. Sometimes he is sweet to her and they will curl up on the couch or floor and sleep together.
Sometimes he treats her mean. She doesn't bite or scratch, just gets up and walks away. He will then try to make nice, but the cat just ignores him or hide even more if he becomes too persistent in his apology.
Then, when he is least expecting it, she will come over, curl up beside him and roll over on her back for a tummy rub. The little fellow is getting a real education in how to treat living things and is very lucky to have a gentle feline friend who won't bite or scratch.
What a wonderful experience for your grandson. I think that’s great!
Wise men are satisfied with understanding a few basic things and leave it at that.

Very true BUT as long as there is a Government (AT least fools pulling the money strings) willing to grant money for such inane studies, someone will do it - GLADLY accepting OUR money to finance their tom-foolery.
People used to rail Art Bell and call HIM crazy.
I looked at Art Bell as rather a ‘sanish’ type person making a living. The people I ‘worried’ about on his show were the CALLERS that had been abducted, probed and worse.
...roll over on her back for a tummy rub....

Not the reason kitty rolls over, as explained in the piece. Cats don’t like a tummy rub.
I must say, some cats really do want their tummy rubbed!
I have always been fond of cats for the exact reasons you describe... the connection you’ve drawn between feline behavior and feminine behavior is obvious... it’s no wonder I like cats.
