I own two cats, and have had them for about a year now. My male is about one and a half years old, my female just past one. They play, scrap around, chase each other around the house, clean eachother every once in a while, and generally act as, I think, two cats act. I just saw (I seriously left the room, came to this computer, and registered to these forums to ask for help) the oddest thing I have ever seen my cats do (this includes licking eachothers butts).
My female was just napping on the couch, curled up on her side. My male cat jumped up on her and made like he was cleaning the back of her head. Then he bit her, kind of locked his jaw behind her ear. She, at this point, hadn't moved yet, and didn't care. Then my male cat straddled my female and, in a rhythmic motion, started pumping his back legs. Left, then right, almost like windshield wipers on a delay. He kept this up for a couple minutes, and as I tried to sneak away to grab my digital camera, he noticed me and both cats shot away.
They are spayed/neutered, and the last time I saw this was when I came upon two stray cats getting it on at basic training. Except, of course, here my male cat was standing over my female, instead of laying atop of.
What did I just witness? I feel really dirty for some reason.
