I am lying under a blanket. My cat is trying to have sex with the blanket.

I hate when he does this, the sexy biscuits. I’ll now have to abandon this nice blanket to my cat who already has a harem of blanket wives.

It ruins every blanket/dressing gown for me. Does anyone else feel like this and then have the ick over that specific garment? He’s 15 and has been neutered forever, he’s never tired of humping my nice things.

RIP lucy & yak checked borg fleece blanket.

May I suggest that you avoid the Litter Tray in that case.

🤣 Howling at Special look on his face!

Yes! We have a sexy biscuiter. One of our sofa throws is just too irresistible it seems.

I mean ... he's neutered so nothing 'comes out' ...
does it ? 🧐

Middlechild3 · 17/03/2026 21:18

Blanket wives 😂 lol

worrisomeasset · 17/03/2026 21:21

We used to have a neutered Tom who would regularly shag DH’s arm. No seminal fluid was ever discharged so DH just let him get on with it.

Honestyboxy · 17/03/2026 21:22

Ughhh! I had a dog that did this but never had a cat that does.

warmpinkshawl · 17/03/2026 21:22

I have had cats my whole life. None of them have ever done this. I had no idea this was a thing.

AnonSugar · 17/03/2026 21:22

Sexy biscuits 🤣

No sexy biscuits in this house. However my female cat is so excited by biscuit time she sucks holes in all my blankets which is also quite grim.

One of my mum's cats when I was kid did something unmentionable to Piglet. But from about dozen cats over my lifetime roughly 50/50 split male/ female but all fettled he was the only one whoever tried for a spot of sexy time.

OhBollocks23 · 17/03/2026 21:28

In my nearly half-decade of cat ownership, I've only had one who does this, my current one - had no idea there was a name for it! Ours does it on the throw on our bed, complete with the unsettling and icky eye contact

Shutuptrevor · 17/03/2026 21:30

Oh god the special look 😂

Fullfatandfortyplus · 17/03/2026 21:47

Only one male cat out of many we have had has done this. I’d forgotten about it till this thread but oh it was obscene catching him with DDs Teddy and the look he would have on his face, he ripped that poor Teddy to shreds over the years.

faithfultoGeorgeMichael · 17/03/2026 21:10

I have 2 girls that do this. Sexy biscuits time is the worst time. They creep up and try and do it thru a blanket/dressing gown onto us - often close to our genitals. They are repeatedly scolded but undeterred. Poor DS was constantly harassed as a teenager - it was horrendous. Also sticking their ass in our faces and shaking their tail provocatively. They are long haired and beautiful but it's obscene. Once frisky we have to get up and leave, nothing else stops them 😂😂😂

Are they done?

My girl doesn't seem bothered but I saw this thread & thought of @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne.

Moonandstarsandsun · 17/03/2026 21:59

Omg I did not know this was a thing!?!!! I thought it was just dogs!!! I’m sticking with my girl cats then. This post made me giggle!!

Do you
mesn kneading a blanket with their paws? I thought it was a replacement for what kittens do to get milk? That’s what I was told. Never seen any sign of sexual interest.

This is what is odd about it. My neutered male cat starts off by doing biscuits on a blanket as if extruding his mother’s milk but it takes an erotic turn and he gets a little spiky stiffie. It’s all quite Oedipal.

That’s the innocent version. Then there’s a more lascivious version that involves mounting and humping at the same time. My cat does it all the time. Here he is humping the cat bed

Right, I'm taking a picture of Gizmo in the morning.

In flagrante delicto

Pixiedust1234 · 17/03/2026 22:26

You could have put sensitive image on that @cherubina !
My eyes!

Bluebootsgreenboots · 17/03/2026 22:26

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 17/03/2026 21:11

Nope.
And they occasionally still ejaculate, too.

🤮

Lovely.
So no rush to the vets then.

EmeraldRoulette · 17/03/2026 22:29

Why did they get rid of the laughing reaction? We really need it 😂😂

DingyHall2026 · 17/03/2026 22:31

My now departed cat used to do this, almost exclusively to me - only once to DH. That can't be a coincidence?

I mentioned it to the vet who told me it was rare-normal and approx 1% of neutered boys still retain a sexy time urge. Mine would switch from a lovely cuddly kneading into something more frantic, then he'd get a little cat erection. The only thing to do was jolt him out of it but he'd get really pissy when i did. Pissed off I mean, not start urinating.

So glad my new cats don't do this

Additup · 17/03/2026 22:37

DobbyTheHouseElk · 17/03/2026 20:29

My cat does this too. Usually the DC soft toys. It’s a bit grim. He has a special look on his face when he’s doing it. I’d rather not see it.

😂😂😂
