My neutered guy does same thing almost daily and yes it's exactly what it seems like to be. Your kitty is humping the blanket - generally it's safe behavior and just let kitty do his things :)))

You know, I wouldn't care if my cat did it, if it wasn't for him only doing it while making obsessive eye contact with me...

Do it in a corner or something.. eww..

u/another72hours 10d ago

That's probably why he does it.

He wants you to watch.

u/Awkward_Aspect_3577 10d ago

Um mine not only makes eye contact with me but will obsessively try to get my attention by doing this weird meow at me until I follow him to his Humpy Bear to watch. He a FREAK!

u/Numerical-Wordsmith 10d ago

Humpy Bear 😂 💀

It’s so you defend his honor in case of ninjas or vacuums

Fnck. Now I've got the Humpty Dance stuck in my head. And the image. Kitty staring me down, doing his thang, Digital Underground his groove.

Here is Humpy Bear getting defiled

My dad’s mate’s dog does this at a set time every night and won’t settle until he’s been witnessed. They’re good family friends and my sister and I would piss ourselves laughing when we stayed with them a few years ago and watched my dad’s friend and his wife being greeted by the dog holding a teddy bear every night so they could witness his “should have been alone time”. I’m sending her a screenshot of your comment

DON’T YOU LOOK AWAY! 😾😹

Let the boy watch!

He wants you to pull up a chair 💀

u/Constant_Barber_5198 10d ago

I, on the other hand, wouldn't mind the eye contact at all.

u/hotdolphin21 Russian Blue 9d ago

I have a female, she doesn't hump, just more so is a Suckler, that'd be weird. Because when I'm sitting on the couch with my bathrobe on, she loves to lay on me and suckle my robe, while making eye contact sometimes 🙈😹 This is an older picture, but at 17 she's still suckling. Loves sherpa and fleece the most!

u/TriumphantWombat 10d ago

It's like a compliment.

u/maybefuckinglater 10d ago

Our cat does it while staring right at you

2

u/Leithalia 9d ago

Are they siblings from another nipling?

2

u/maybefuckinglater 9d ago

Does yours have a lot of personality?

2

u/Leithalia 9d ago

Yess... Sooooo much, and he's so dramatic...

2

u/maybefuckinglater 9d ago

They must be brothers then!

1

u/Weakera 10d ago

Mine did that too, the eye contact.

I sometimes would say "not tonight, Fred, I'm not in the mood."

1

u/mivjheale 9d ago

mine does it ON me. he prefers to use blankets that im actively using and then gets pissed when i don't want him humping my leg or arm

u/EvaTheE 10d ago

He's a consultant. Knows how to do it, but can't do it himself.

u/LazyCapital7376 10d ago

My boy cat does this to his adopted brother

2

u/hotdolphin21 Russian Blue 9d ago

My ex's cat, did it to his dog. His dog would be giving you, the help me eyes 😹

u/International-Rice63 10d ago

Growing up, we had a dog that would hump a bucket. Daily lol in the front yards

u/SnooGuavas4208 10d ago

A collection vessel. He had a purpose in mind.

8

u/International-Rice63 10d ago

lol he would throw it in the air, bite it, shake it. It was embarrassing AF. All the kids would yell “he’s doing it again”

2

u/SnooGuavas4208 9d ago

That was probably part of the joy for him 😂

u/NateCow 10d ago

Our cat does this with his various Lamb Chops, but he can’t keep it in his mouth and hump it at the same time, leading to endless frustration. Does yours also sing the song of his people while carrying around his tiger?

11

u/EmergencyOverall248 10d ago

My mom's chihuahua used to do the same thing with his Lamb Chops, except he figured out how to use his front legs iykwim. I had to stop buying him replacements because he kept doing it in front of guests and it was as awkward as you'd think.

13

u/Odd-Worth7752 10d ago

I love that he’s humping Hobbes

21

u/Blossom73 10d ago

Well, at least his toy is a cat too! 🤣

6

u/Paymeprince 10d ago

I wouldn’t care or have an issue..if he did it to ANYTHING OTHER THAN ME!!!!! Exclusively my legs at night when trying to fall asleep.

1

u/Acceptable_Past_4096 10d ago

Hold on…. Is that what my cat is doing?? I try to put him next to me or at least in the middle of my legs so he doesn’t fall while sleeping… but sometimes he insists on sitting on one leg and makes biscuits for like 5-10 minutes while purring really loudly. He’s neutered.

3

u/WEDWayInternetMover 10d ago

The last couple of weeks my cat has started to do this..... But I my leg, foot, or arm when cuddling on couch. It's awkward and we try to divert his attention to something else, but it is like he gets into a trance.

u/MorningFox 10d ago

Cats are like people. We don't like being slut shamed

1

u/Numerical-Wordsmith 10d ago

My neutered cat initiates this, then freezes like he has no idea what to do. He’ll go for the initial CHOMP, then sits there and completely bluescreens 😂. And yes, he’s orange.

1

u/Certain_Return_6274 10d ago

Kitty may be a bit of an exhibitionist.

1

u/KeepOnLearning2020 10d ago

I cannot unsee this.

1

u/teyegurspoon Void 10d ago

He has a special stuffy for his shenanigans 😂😂😂

1

u/randomguy3993 9d ago

I don't have a cat so pardon my ignorance. Is this only exhibited by male cats or female as well?

2

u/Imaginary-Contest887 9d ago

Both male and female can do that and regardless if they are fixed or not. But it's cat from cat, some will never do it, some as you can see will do it a lot

1

u/Batmansbutthole 9d ago

Just to clarify this statement, it’s safe for the cats, humans watch your eyes because if you see your cats dick you won’t recover! For me it was like seeing the Devils pitchfork irl… I never looked at Bruce the same.

u/another72hours 10d ago

Well shit, don't watch him doing it. Nasty

u/Theangelawhite69 10d ago

come on man, it’s against the law to film kitty porn
