do your cats roll over and show their tummies?

Our male tabby like to roll over in submission and show us his belly. now the female (from same household, different mother) is doing it. I think they may have had the same father. I don't recall any of our other cats doing this. I understand it's a sign of submission, not a sign (like dogs) they want their bellies rubbed.
 
My cats do it. Especially my girl cat. I read an article saying it was a sign of trust. Hhhmmm... But the article did say it doesn't mean they want a tummy rub like dogs.

My guys do for rubs, Cheeto used to sleep that way but not any more now that he’s older I miss him sleeping in my lap spread eagle it was hilarious.

Edited to add pictures because can you ever have too many cat pictures? Lol
