My husband and I have a 6 year old male cat named Bruce. He was a stray when we took him in 3 years ago. He is in great health now (maybe a little overweight but I prefer that to seeing his ribs like when we found him!) He was declawed and neutered when I found him - so someone obviously took care of him at some point. He is the best, most mild mannered, well behaved cat, except when he starts kneading or playing.
Sometimes he wants to knead on us, which we understand - because he is showing love. But sometimes he takes it too far. Sometimes after he kneads for a while he then starts to hump whatever he is near, be it my legs or the blanket or anything! I have no idea how he gets excited over something like this and I don't know what to do! Usually we pick him up and put him down - which then he doesn't want to do anything but he is probably sexually frustrated by it.
A lot of times he will be playing and then he will suddenly bite down really hard to our hands and hang on and then start to mount our arms! It's the strangest thing because we have a female cat.
We got our other kitty Bella (age 2) a few months ago from a shelter. They have made great friends. She is also spayed. Why does he choose us when he has her? What gets him excited about kneading and playing and us as humans?
