I recently adopted a 2 year old tabby mix from the local Animal Rescue
League. He is a great little guy and is fitting in well with my four
year old tabby male.

I noticed the other night as he was getting ready to bed down that he
was kneading an area around my calf, which to me wasn't unusual, but
then the little fella started to strangely move his back legs... It
only took a nano-second to realize what he was doing (humping) and I
gently pushed him away.

He has done this another one or two times and this brings about some
questions:

He's neutered...I have never seen this behavior in a neutered cat in all
my years of owning cats..has anyone here?

How can I modify his behavior so that this stops, without alienating
him? I don't want him to think I don't want him around...

meaningful appropriate suggestions are welcome...

The occasional neutered tom will masturbate using some variation of
kneading. Since the cat does not subscribe to any belief system that
considers this sinful or harmful, and it give much pleasure to the
cat, I don't see any reason to stop it unless he is biting or clawing
someone. Blocking this behavior might even have negative effects on
the cat's behavior - after all that would be preventing the cat from
experiencing intense pleasure from being affectionate toward you.

Theo (RB), my first wife's most charming cat, had a
long-term...ahem...intimate friendship with a stuffed camel. The most
disturbing part was when he would complete the act, roll over onto his
back, and look like he wanted a cigarette.

Not a camel, but did he look anything like this?

Close. Theo would be flat on his back, legs sprawled, showing off his
manly non-parts.
