My cat Sam, is 2 year old neutered male. Indoor only.
Recently, he started doing this weird thing, at night, he will get on the bed, over my leg, and rocks side to side, biting the blanket, for about a minuit, and he meows before he starts, then he jumps off the bed.
During the day he's quiet and lazy, like any other cat, but we recently got a male kitten, around 2 months ago, it may have started around that time.
Its really very freaky, and it couldn't be a sexual thing cause he's neutered, could it?
anyway, i'm freaked out, please help.

Neutered toms are capable of sexual behaviors, but probably this is more a territorial issue. For some reason, he is probably "marking" his territory or asserting his dominance with this unusual action.
You might want to have a vet check just to be sure this isn't caused by some illness, but it seems that would be unlikely, unless you are noticing other things like a lack of appetite or an unusual lack of energy.
Good luck!

Hi,
Yes, this could be a sexual thing. It is fairly common for neutered adult male cats to pleasure themselves. I have one that mounts a stuffed cat.......lol
This may or may not have anything to do with the new addition. It's hard to say since this behavior isn't really unusual.

Or as I like to say: They took away the equipment but didn't do a frontal lombotamy. If you disagree with the behaviour keep a squirt bottle next to your bed. When he engages in the unwanted behaviour squirt him and firmly tell him no. He'll soon learn that to equate the behaviour with a negative concequence. Hope this helps!
