Oh jeez my old male cat I used to have as a kid would do this on a extra large blue Pokémon pillow I had. And yes always making eye contact while doing so🤦🏻♀️
My rescue got neutered at approx 8 years old, he like to stand on my shoulder while I lie in bed, and do the biscuits. I won't think about if there's any sin involved, it would be too weird.
My cat used to do sin biscuits on my arm with his claws out while I was asleep. Woke me up, of course.
I realized it was because I was babying him too much. I stopped picking him up and holding him, or baby talking to him, and he stopped the sin biscuits.
So does mine. I bought this cute little ten-dollar throw from Ikea, and my cat instantly fell in love with it and makes sweet love to it while staring at me regularly. Needless to say, I wash that blanket a lot and have accepted it as my cat's blanket/sex toy.
okay but what is up with the aggressive eye contact?? it's so disturbing lmao my neutered guy always tries this on my bed and gets mad when i shoo him off my pillow
That was dominance, it's common for neutered older cats, both make and female, to do that when a kitten comes around. They're teaching the kittens how to cat.
My 10 year old lady void attempted this with my (at the time) 6 month old idiot boy. She quit after a few attempts, as he is too fucking stupid to be dominated.
I see. He's never done that to our other males, we also have a young outdoor kitty that I'm not aware has done that to? But our older male is very protective of our kitten too and almost like an adoptive father to him.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT RUG!? Seriously - I have been shopping for MONTHS for a rug with all those colors for my mid century modern themed living room!!! (Beautiful kibby cat by the way!)
Mine has been neutered since 6 months old. He is five now and started this a few years ago. He started doing it on MY blanket, so I gave it to him and got myself a new one lol it's his official masterbating blanket now and he knows better then to get himself off on my new blanket
Wait till they discover NIPPLE ZITS. Kitties nipples can fill up with natural oils and become a black head like thing with white gunk in it.
Explaining that to my husband when he saw me checking my orange long haired idiot was a riot. I had to get my vet tech friend to confirm on speaker phone that yes it happens and it's simply a nipzit.
His only answer at first was 'I KNOW they have nipples but WTF they don't go in?! They can't be a zit!' while I'm casually holding the fur separated showing him yes, yes it does happen lol.
Would maybe be a good idea, my male cat often does that and I didn’t know what he did but he is strange. I then did realised it considering he only did it when looking at my other cat (who is most likely his sister).
I‘m sorry this is quite a weird question but I don’t want to Google it… I just don’t quite understand what the cat gets from it? Is it just the imitation of the act, similar to how some people (or animals) dry-hump pillows etc?
Like the part that doesn’t make sense to me is how that’s pleasurable, is it just the making biscuits part? This cat isn’t rubbing on anything so it just… I don’t quite understand. Dogs humping legs holds a logic but this doesn’t.
I have two kitties but I’ve never seen them act like this in any way. They’ve both been neutered very young but they’re also (mostly) outdoor cats, so who knows what they’re doing behind my back xD
in this video I don't think he's got it quite figured out yet indeed 😆, but my cat used to mount a cube plushie... and we could see a tiny lil bit of liquid on it afterwards so it must have been pleasurable. 😵
Well, honestly the answer is probably two-fold, at least. The biscuit-making in itself is rather innocent, probably reminds the cat of nursing on its mother with its littermates; it's a common way for cats to cuddle, either with other cats or with their owners.
As to why the cuddles turns sinful, the snuggles release dopamine and euphoria within the cat which floods the body and activates other parts. Then, what does the cat "get out" of the sin biscuits if they're actually not stimulating anything? Cats are EXTREMELY sensitive. It's most likely just the stimulation from the sheath itself that is enough for them. Since they are so sensitive more pressure anywhere on the body might be too much for them; hence why cats who tend to sin biscuit on their owners tend to get upset if you touch them too much in the process.
Cats don't really want active participation in lovemaking, which is why a male cat mounts and hold down the female and also one of the reasons you should neuter cats.
It's not really that the cat is "getting" anything from it. It's because they are literally sexually frustrated and trying to alleviate that. It's more biologal than it is gratification, like humans. Even if an animal is doing it frequently, it's not for satisfaction. It's because it alleviates what is basically a problem for them. They're intended to mate, that's where the instinct comes from.
My childhood cat would actually want an audience, he would bring his toys out whenever we had guests over, meowed so loud during, and would make eye contact.
