Just remember - by spaying her, you are making her healthier, likelier to live longer, and less frustrated. If I were in Perrine's paws, and had human speech, I'd beg you to spay me. (BTW, if you pet her chest rather than her tummy per se, you might trigger the happy-being-petted vibes rather than the prey-attacking-my-belly-must-kill-it vibes, and still get the underfur-softness. I've noticed that Sugar loves having his chest skritched, but if I go too far down, he attacks instinctively).
My 1st cat was like that, but Meaouw Maow will lie flat on his back and appreciate anything. I keep the work light. Just make sure to work clockwise in the abdominal area. He's neutered, but hasn't formed a fear/attack response to belly petting and does as best he can remember when Perrine shows up in heat. It seems to help. I just don't see him attack anything. He sleeps facing my door and gives me "high 5" when fed. He's a good meat loaf.
