I've had my rescue Bengal for about 2 years now but I am slightly concerned about his behaviour. Slightly awkward to mention, but he humps a fair bit and has taken to humping my arm when I'm sleeping.

He also tries to nibble my neck and ear lobe and screams in my face. He has started screaming at me if he can't find me and following me around.

He was neutered at a young age and came from a loving home but was rehomed as he was being bullied by other cats.

Any advice? He seems happy otherwise and is very healthy. I am an experienced cat owner but this has stumped me.

I wonder if nibbling neck & ear love is him trying to suckle? I know it's not uncommon for some adult cats to do that.

I have no suggestions on the humping I'm afraid. That would also baffle me.

Stop him getting in your room at night.

Mine suckles in his sleep.
