Yes, it sure does. lol
Omg! I was reading all the posts about cats humping blankets and teddy bears, thinking "ok, so only my cat humps my arm or leg... great". Then I finally came across your post and told my little man he wasn't alone, haha! My neutered adult male Persian cat, Bruce, is the sweetest thing, but he has his way with my arm, shoulder, or leg every night before he'll go to sleep. When he was 4yrs old I brought a new puppy home, who grew to be a huge Newfoundland. I noticed him acting strange around her, climbing on her back when she was napping and making strange sounds, or grabbing her neck and biting down (and not letting go). She would chase him normally, but she wouldn't move when he acted like that and she looked scared of the cat that weighed 70 lbs less than her. We had that sweet dog for a little more than a year then she passed away. About 2 weeks afterward Bruce climbed in bed with us and kneaded my side, then my arm, then all 4 feet were moving, then the strange noises started and I realized he was humping me. It was subtle, compared to my chihuahuas that do the same thing, but definite humping. Bruce has continued to hump me every night since then, and sometimes he'll follow me around and meow until I'll sit down so he can do it during the day. I've found that if I don't let him he will get very angry, meowing angrily and sometimes doing what he knows I hate more than anything, pooping in the floor. If my boyfriend tries to touch me during it, Bruce will make like a sneezy cough sound to warn him to back off. He won't hump anyone but me, and is still the sweetest cat I've ever known so we've just accepted it as a fact of life. About 10 minutes after crawling into bed I know he'll be creeping up to have his way shortly. (I noticed from many of the posts a common breed exhibiting this behavior... Persians)I am so "happy" to read this. My Chincilla Persian is 2½ years old and started it a few months ago. At first I thought he was kneading (because he is so longhaired it was hard to see), but when I rolled him over on his back he had an erection.
This continued to go on. Only when I'm laying down he will do it on my arm or leg. When I move him he gets cranky and makes a "meeeeh" noise & at times I get a little bite.
I took him to the vet, as I was worried he was in some sort of pain as it started out of the blue. He got a hormone injection, but he is still doing it.
He gets lots of attention, so I don't think that would be it. Have any of you guys had any luck with ways to get them to stop? Or do I have to accept this is a lifelong thing?
