ELI5: Why do cats show their bellies in a show of trust, then mercilessly attack you when you try to pet them?

My cat always greets me at the door when I come home. She stretches out on her back and shows her belly, but DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH IT! It always seems to be an elaborate ruse in order to assault the bare flesh of my hand. 

It's not just my cat, it's almost every cat I've come into contact with. My friends have had similar experiences. Reddit, ELI5: Why do cats show their bellies in a show of trust, then mercilessly attack you when you try to pet them?

They're playing. Cats like to play with their food. If they wanted, they could pounce a mouse and rip its head off, but for them, it's like a game. A game not unlike that of serial killers or maniac rulers in literature (and some cases of real life).

So basically, cats are psychopaths.
