my 9 year old cat, fixed, is now getting in my lap and humping me any ideas why? its getting to be a real pain

Question

there are two other cats in my house, one male one female

Answer 1

Its just something natural. They don't know why they do it, it might be the cat trying to show ownership or domination of you.
Two words: Squirt Bottle.

Answer 2

I know your dilemma. My cat does this too. It's annoying, and like someone else said, when their nails are long, it hurts! I, on the other hand, don't think he's trying to dominate you. He's just acting on his urges. I think that if he's still got sex on the brain at nine years old, it's a sign that he alive and well. My seventeen year old cat did it too until last year. What can you do? Shoo him away and provide a large stuffed animal he can use instead. After a few times, he might realise that he should go to the stuffed animal for some lovin'. Squirting him with water might be a bit harsh, but a firm No and showing him his toy should eventually help, but if not, you're doomed. Cats are so stubborn! Good luck!

Answer 3

all pets that get fixed makes them better pets but they will get the urge from time to time. its not they much differant than humans. we have the surgeries, but can still do it without worrying about getting pregnant. many breeders after the animal is done will fix them to make them better pets. its mostly so they don't drive you nuts when they sense the other in heat. it will also make them more docile. i've assisted a vet friend when he was short handed and they just take the tubes out on the males and females. some vets take out the testicles in males and many don't with the tubes. they can't produce but will get the urge at times. most people give them a small stuffed animal to go at it with. if they see other animals doing it, they eventually hump anything. the only reason they go on forever is as they were fixed, nothing is coming out so they conitnue until they think something will or pass out from doing it so long.

Answer 4

I know exactly what you are talking about, My cat does the same thing and it is a real pain especially if I haven't trimmed his nails or if I am trying to sleep. I am just very firm, tell him NO and push him off me. If he jumps back up, I throw him down again. After a while, he will get the message and stop. The squirt bottle works well, too.

Answer 5

Had a cat that did it to my leg while I slept. (yuck) I kicked him off my bunk bed, but a squirt bottle handy would've done better because he kept doing it.

Answer 6

Get a squirt bottle and when he "mis-behaves" give him a squirt. He will get the idea very quickly.

Answer 7

Just say no means no! LOL
He really likes you LOL

How old when fixed? if older he might still have the urge.
how bout men with vasectomies?

Answer 8
