Do neutered male cats normally masturbate?

Our 5 year old cat has taken to 'pleasuring himself' shamelessly against fleecy blankets. It is quite a spectacle... He finishes off by licking the 'result of his efforts'. Often over and over again. Is this normal behaviour or has he just turned into an old perv? Part of me thinks - fair enough - but it is pretty gross. I grew up with cats and don't remember this......!

I don't know if it's normal, but my elderly neutered male still does it, and with an uncomfortable level of unbroken eye contact.

Gross! Never seen or heard of that. I'd kick him out. No manners.

Rudedog · 27/10/2017 10:02

Our 3 year old has a 'girlfriend ' (a fleece blanket) I think it's fairly common.

NotdeadyetBOING · 27/10/2017 10:30

Yes - the unbroken eye contact is seriously disconcerting!!! Relieved it's not just ours. DH is all for burning all fleecy blankets in the house....

Oh yes - mine is a devil for it! The eye contact comment made me Grin - it's really quite unpleasant and yet I can't look away either (normally because he's on my lap, urgh!)

SilverSpot · 27/10/2017 12:14

Oh one of my old cats used to do it, gross isn't it!

CrazyHairSister · 27/10/2017 12:15

One of our cats loves a fleecy blanket for this specific purpose Grin

CaptainWarbeck · 27/10/2017 12:16

Yes our neutered cat does this... with enthusiastic hip thrusts too. Then he settles down and falls asleep.

MephistophelesApprentice · 27/10/2017 12:20

It appears fleecy blankets are the common denominator.

Oh, gods, I left mine on my bed today...

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 27/10/2017 14:21

Yep, my older cat also has a wanky blanky, the dirty fecker

Thanks to you my office wants to know why I'm currently crippled with laughter. Grin

Want2beme · 27/10/2017 17:20

My old fella used to do this with great gusto to my leg. Many a night I had to shake him off. Vet said it was instinctive behaviour.

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 27/10/2017 18:34

Probs NSFW, @MephistophelesApprentice

Vinorosso74 · 27/10/2017 18:54

Oh my I think I'll stick to girl cats! Our old boy cat loved belly rubs but would get a little excited and poke his willy out.

AGoodCupOfTea · 27/10/2017 22:36

This has reminded me of a time when I used to live at home and we had this aggressive horny male cat. He used to hump my piglet teddy Blush

He also used to steal chicken thighs and growl if you tried to get it back.

Our last cat, a spayed female used to be kneading me.with the front paws, while squatting over me.on her back legs, often turning round and round. This used.to go on for about 20 minutes, then she would suddenly stop and walk off. Typically she did it about 3 times a day! She also normally slept on my bed all night. I was the only person, who could.handle her and even when she batted me with a paw, the claws were in - whereas everybody else.felt the full benefit of her claws!

StillMedusa · 28/10/2017 00:42

My beloved Morph was a neuter with two hump favourites... DS2's 'Bear in the big Blue house' and my head...at night!
Hard to say which was the most disturbing... waking to find a 24 pound Maine Coon humping your head is bad... but hearing 'Bear' start singing 'Welcome to the big blue house' mid coitus....

I binned Bear in the end !!!

Nonibaloni · 28/10/2017 00:58

I replied and it vanished.
Do females do this too? My 1 year old rubs (for want of s better word) her lady bits all over the dogs bed. It’s in the scooting stance but not the usual scoot scoot scoot. Vet has checked everything she can think of.

ColinsVeryJolly · 28/10/2017 01:04

Our old neutered Tom had a 'special friend', my lovely cuddly cow teddy. He always managed to have home the correct way round too.

Sunbeam18 · 28/10/2017 08:05

Be glad its not your arm (like my cat)

MadMags · 28/10/2017 08:08

I can't wear my beloved furry dressing gown anywhere near my perverted cat Sad

@StillMedusa I'm sniggering at your post!

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 28/10/2017 08:14

Dear god I didn’t even know this was a thing .,, I’m naive aren’t I?

Crispsareafoodgroup · 28/10/2017 08:23

I don't even have a cat and I am sniggering so much at these posts. Stillmedusa and duckoff made me laugh out loud.
