Whenever I Touch my cats stomach (4 months old) she nibbles on my hand. It doesn't really hurt, but I don't really think that cats are ticklish. And by the way, if you say that mine is, whenever I tickle her neck, she just purrrs.

The tummy is a very vulnerable and sensitive area on most kitties.
I have one who will flop over for a belly rub if I just say the words!
The other will get over-stimulated and "attack" my hand and the only way to escape scratches and indentations from her teeth is to let her "kill" my hand. Let it go limp or lifeless, and she will lose interest and you can remove your hand without injury

All cats have the way they prefer to be stroked and fussed, yours just probably doesnt like to be to be tickled on the tummy.
I have 2 cats, the first 7 yrs old, and doesnt care how he's stroked, as long as he gets some fuss! Whilst the other hates attention of nearly all types! Its just their personality.

It's honestly just good play. If shes nibbling shes just playing with you. I rub my little boy on the tummy all the time and hes 4 months too and just likes to hold my arm. Nothing to worry about. All cats are different but it doesn't seem like your baby doesn't like it. Good Luck!!

Cats are rather sensitive on the tummy areas. It's just a natural reaction. My cat is just now learning to enjoy a good belly rub and he is 3 yrs old.

Cats are most vulnerable at the stomach area. They dislike being touched there because they're instinct tells them that it is very bad to take a hit to that area. She probably doesn't like it and is telling you to stop, however you're the alpha male/female, so she won't hurt you.

They don't like their stomach touched. The stomach area is the most vulnerable to a cat, and they don't want you to touch it. Only when she lies down on her back and stretches, exposing her tummy to you, it is OK to touch it.
