Yes I have googled !
He has always had these episodes, even since he was spayed at about 8 months. He'll start "making biscuits" and then pull up his haunches and arch his back, making a very sexual posture. He usually does this after we have had close contact or been snoozing on top of me (he's too heavy now for me to put up with that for long ! That's how he liked to sleep when he was a little kitty)
He gets a very intense bug eyed expression, and sometimes I have woken up with him staring at me as he goes through these motions, literally a few inches from my face ! It's quite unnerving. And occasionally he will grip the senior cat by the back of his neck and cover him when he's feeling 'the heat'. I don't tell him off but he can get a bit aggressive when I tell him to get down - they both know that means to stop whatever it is - it's like he's in a kind of trance.
Of course it can't culminate in anything, and once he's off the bed he'll trot off as normal.
Can anyone offer any advice ? He's quite a timid cat - for instance would never in a million years go on his own to the ground floor (4 flights) whereas the old boy likes to pop in on the neighbours in the building 🤭 But he def has 'anxious attachment' to me.
I have been away recently, they were in a cattery where they certainly seemed to have a good time and were well cared for, I haven't asked them yet if he exhibited this at all whilst there. And I have a vid which I can show the vet next week, as actually taking him there is so traumatic for him I would prefer to told to bring him in first.
Cat Valium ?!
And I can't / won't use Feliway (never worked on a previous neurotic cat I had - rescue from abusive home)
Cat tax attached....any helpful suggestions / experience welcomed,
Thanks x
