Expert Answer

Cats like butt pats because they feel especially comfortable. There is an acupoint at the base of the tail; pressing it makes them feel good and involuntarily lift the rear for more, and sensitive cats purr with pleasure.

In addition, estrus cats also enjoy butt pats. And if a cat raises its rear before you unbidden, it may be treating you as its mother.
