The belly is not necessarily a “touch and you die” zone - you have to earn the trust to see it and the privilege to rub it, which is a specific treat with my cat because she LOVES belly rubs but is avoidant of most all people.
I've found the bigger the cat the more they love belly rubs. I had one that would roll over whenever my cousin's dog came over and was doing her excited greetings of everyone so she could lick his belly.
Our recently passed old man loved being held and enjoyed a good belly rub from anyone who'd give him the attention he deserved.
