Title: Is this normal??
Post by: JoAnn on January 30, 2007, 13:19:50 PM: We have had 10 month old Oscar for 3 days now. He was neutered 4 days ago by the cat rescue home before we got him. He has been humping things like fleece blankets and a bean bag pillow that he loves to sleep on. I have grew up around cats but only females cats so this is out of my league.

Is it normal for a neutered cat to hump things?

As many of you know I have over the years had hundreds if not thousands of cats and only once have I ever had a cat that will jump (in a humping way) on another. That is Peewee who's pic is on my sponsor page. He has a problem that the vet says he has only ever known in horses before. When he gets in the humping mood it is a nightmare all the cats go running as he will jump on the all it doesn't matter what sex and at that time he smells like an unneutered tom.

My two female dogs are currently into humping the beds, and my male dog was having a good old hump on a passing jack russel the other day, as well as trying it on with Buffy the cat at the moment..........And it is a fully neutered household!!!! There's only me and Bobby the ginger mog not getting any!
