I'm worried I haven't been doing it right

Any of those but the belly.

 

[Sable]

You missed out a ton of options...

FYI, stroking the underbelly of a cat is roulette. Some cats like it, some hate it, but for most they'll decide to alternate between the two when you least expect.

Mine likes his chest and belly rubbed. He'll go out of his way to get you to do it. Dosen't care one way or the other if you pet at the base of the tail. First cat I had that was like that.

You don't pet your cat until it learns to beg and play fetch.

I always thought the fact cats tensed up when I scratched the base of their tail meant they hated it

 

[WhatNemesisMeans]

My kitty loves it when I scratch his belly, go figure.

 

[Foltest]

Bah! The only pet that you need is a dog. Cats are worthless.

My cat loves back scratches and under her ears to get rubbed.

Depends on the cat, but the place I've found is contested between cats is the belly. Some like it, others hate it. But really, almost any of the places you described should be fine.

Wherever they like. I usually rub their face, head, sides, back and belly. And pick them up to snuggle and hug them. Mine are okay with anything, even squeezing their paws in a handshake. They've been snuggled like crazy their whole lives so they're pretty mellow. As long as you start cuddling then early they're pretty tolerant and will even try to jump into your lap or arms to be snuggled when they want attention. But I do think individual cats have preferences. People keep saying most kitties don't like belly rubs so some of them must be like that.

 

[Hen in a tie]

I don't have a cat, but I've pet a few of my friends cats. They're all different in ways they like to be petted.
Like one of my friends has 2 cats. One doesn't give a shit where you touch it while the other one will brutally murder you if you go near it's head.

So in the end it depends on your Neko.

 

[The Fool]

You pet them in whatever random spot they want to be pet for as long as they want until they decide to ask you to stop by politely cutting your arm wide open

 

[Bassomatic]

Where ever they like, mine likes his tail pulled gently and behind the ears. I hate petting behind the ears because he gets all happy drools and then shakes his head throwing cat spit all over.

 

[Burgers in the ass]

You don't pet the cat
The cat pets you.

Mine does that too. He's really sweet but I sometimes think he's special needs.
