I believe that was the original design intent on the Tickle Me Elmo product...

Or just bring the cat back to the vet. The issue can be literally 'fixed' IMO.

I think it's clear that you need to rule out medical reasons first (a failed neutering). Please contact your vet and have him or her see the cat. Not much point in getting advice here before you do that.

There are failed neuters, especially if there's a problem with an undescended testicle. He needs to go back to the vet or to another vet before you consider this "just" a behavior problem.

First, I googled "how to get my cat to stop humping me". But reading this thread made me laugh harder than anything I've seen on TV in a long time. Thank u all for educating me and almost making me pee myself at the same time.

The first cat I had as a kid was a big stray boy who was somewhere between two and five years old when we brought him in to the vets to get the deed performed. He continued humping stuffed toys, spraying furniture, and howling at windows for the next ten years. He was very sweet and loving though, and better adjusted to the inside life than you'd expect from that list of anti-social behaviours. We always figured that his tom behaviours, like his giant cheeks and greasy tail, were a result of being fixed so late, but reading this I wonder if he might have had a botched surgery?

Out of curiousity, how old was your cat when he was fixed?
