What do you think - tummy rubs or trap?

I'll post the answer tomorrow.

Yes.
Definitely a trap with that face
It's always a trap. Still, tummy rubs cannot be denied.
- This is the real answer
Yes.
A trust exercise to see if you’ll respect no belly rubs when they trust you enough to expose it.
Aka a trap because who doesn’t love giving belly rubs.
Both
Claws partially extended?
Trap
- Could just be chilling. Both of my girls get pointy when they relax, usually into my leg.
  That is a business face though. My bet is you will be attacked but playfully, no mauling.
Tummy rubs. Then trap.
Trap.
My cat does this, and it's a trap unless it's footpets.
I don't know why, but she'll swipe and cry if she doesn't get her footpets.
- Does this mean she wants her feet petted or she wants to be petted with your foot?
  Mine seems to think that my feet sweat the elixir of the gods and gets mad if I greet her without removing my shoes and socks. She has a particular glare for when she goes to lick my foot and there is a sock on it.
  
  Sorry, pet by my foot. I run my foot along her belly and she melts.
  The smell might be having an affect here as well haha.
Could be either or both (Schrodinger cat)!
Certainly a trap. Wouldn't stop me from rubbing anyway.
Well, OP, you stuck in the trap?
Is that a female cat? If so tummy rub is good IF she's had kittens. Beyond that, total trap!
Cats don't generally like a tummy rub otherwise, at least in my experience. And if not a mama cat better get ready for some blood! (And I'm not saying mama cats are safe either - vicious creatures!)
- This doesn't work as a rule, my experiences are completely different!
  
  That's a fair point. There aren't any rules with cats. That was just my experience and in case it matters all my cats were rescues. Perhaps for a reason! But I feel bad now with the downvotes and should add they all have good lives but each has a very different personality to deal with.
