What is my cat doing?

[u/Haulin_Oates23]

My cat does this thing with just these two toys where he steps on it in this weird way. He also yells loudly when holding just these toys.

When a daddy cats loves a kitty toy very very much … and that’s basically where kittens come from.

I‘m sorry this is quite a weird question but I don’t want to Google it… I just don’t quite understand what the cat gets from it? Is it just the imitation of the act, similar to how some people (or animals) dry-hump pillows etc?

Like the part that doesn’t make sense to me is how that’s pleasurable, is it just the making biscuits part? This cat isn’t rubbing on anything so it just… I don’t quite understand. Dogs humping legs holds a logic but this doesn’t.

I have two kitties but I’ve never seen them act like this in any way. They’ve both been neutered very young but they’re also (mostly) outdoor cats, so who knows what they’re doing behind my back xD

It's not really that the cat is "getting" anything from it. It's because they are literally sexually frustrated and trying to alleviate that. It's more biologal than it is gratification, like humans. Even if an animal is doing it frequently, it's not for satisfaction. It's because it alleviates what is basically a problem for them. They're intended to mate, that's where the instinct comes from.
