alot if not most cats will arch their back when you are stroking them,  If a cat seemed off colour/quiet/ not quite right etc i'd suspect there was pain of some kind..that goes for dogs even more so but they can both arch their backs when they are trying to "pull their tummys in" or infact sore in numberous places.
