...with my leg. Or my arm. Or whatever he can wrap his little paws around
when I'm trying to get some rest.

He was fixed when he was seven months old, and has never developed the
spraying habit. I'm worried about that more than anything...but why on Earth
is he trying to get Oedipal with me all of a sudden? I don't think he
realizes that this kind of thing is illegal in all 50 states. The past three
nights Stosh has been behaving like a hard-up college kid alone in his dorm
watching too many "Girls Gone Wild" videos, and I'm exhausted. He's jumped
me several times overnight to, um, get to know me better...in this case, in
the Biblical sense. No, not Biblical; I think Old Testament law would
require me to be stoned, and not in a pleasant way!

Is it possible that a cat can do such things for the sole pleasure of doing
them; in other words, have you ever heard of a cat getting himself off like
this? I'm sorry to be this vulgar, but is there even a polite term?
Masturbating? But that usually doesn't require a partner, or does it? Oh
hell, I'm getting into a subject best kiept in the schools where it belongs,
and not in the decency and privacy of the home! ;-)

I've racked my brains over this for the past three days. Maybe there's a
female in heat nearby? Maybe he likes my perfume? Or is it that, even
neutered, a cat still makes the hormones and can respond to the signals of
others of his species. There's just one problem: though Louie says Stosh has
always thought I was a cat, we're not the same species!!! What do you do
with a randy young male?

Blessed be,
Baha

Yup, it's possible. Animals can and do self-stimulate. Or use
objects and other animals/people.

I recall a thread or two on rpch+b, before I unsubscribed, on this
kind of thing.

I'd say that if he wants to get his rocks off, whatever, but if it
makes you uncomfortable (it sure would me!), rebuff him and somehow
communicate to him that this is not okay. How exactly to do that, I
don't know.

I've always thought cats (and d*gs) did this for other reasons than being
randy. All Gloria's dogs do it to one another all the time, just going
through the motions. Seems to be part of their play, or keeping the pecking
order established, something like that. All her dogs are fixed males. I once
had a Tibetan terrier, neutered, who would hump the cats all the time - from
the wrong end!

If you feel uncomfortable with it, you'll have to unwind him from your leg
and put him in another room every time he does it, as a sort of punishment
for expressing his sexuality.
It wouldn't worry me too much myself to let him do it. We ask a lot of our
cats by neutering them, if you understand my drift.

I'm not so much disturbed or upset or even offended, just really puzzled. I
had always thought that a neutered cat wouldn't have the drive. The vet has
proven me wrong, as well as some other postings in this and other threads.
Louie and I have decided that it's part play, because he purrs away and
loves to jump on me in the wee hours; and part a dominance thing, and he's
not so much getting Oedipal on me as much as he's "marking" me. Of course,
this opens up another Freudian can of worms: sibling rivalry. Clearly my boy
just doesn't want to share me with Brandy and The Ladies, the selfish little
fellow. He will reluctantly share Mama with Brandy, but the Bit must know
her "place." Earlier today he tailed me everywhere in the house, making
little meowies, being my little shadow. So I figure if he wants to have a
good time, it's perfectly fine since there's love involved.

Are you ready to throw my tuchus in jail by now? :-)

Blessed be,
Baha

Gives a whole new meaning to the term animal husbandry, doesn't it? ;>

It's totally possible. Friends of mine had a huge grey boy named
Rory. Rory was fixed at the proper time of around 6 months but still,
he "loved" this stuffed grey elephant. It was too funny, we'd bring
the elephant out at parties and wiggle it a little bit in front of
Rory and immediately Rory would go to town :-)
Maybe you need to transfer Stosh's affections onto an inanimate
object? Maybe he needs a stuffed animal too.

I'm having a fun time with what Dr. Laura Slippingoffherchairschinger would
have said. Oy! And you aren't even married! You can't even consider this
unless you've been engaged for a year. And only after Stosh marries you.

Yes, I've known of non-hoomans to develop sex urges for other species. I
won't bore you with the details. Now, as to how to restore a cat to docile
nature, I'm not sure. Stosh isn't one for being told what to do.
Fortunately, I don't remember him wishing to eat the flesh of hoomans.

Might go away in a couple days?

You could have the Alpha Male (hooman) of the house reassert himself? Stosh
old buddy, you and Alpha have got to have a good talk.

From Stosh's perspective, would this activity be called humanity? Or
does he consider you a beast?

I'd have to guess that us two legs are the servant class.
