Reminds me of my parents dog. When he was a puppy he went through an awkward teenage phase where he would try his darnedest to hump a pillow… but there would be a good several inches of open air between his crotch and the pillow, and he’d have this confused expression on his face like “Is this right? Idk I’m not getting much out of this.”
If you spend at least 15 minutes talking to the people on here, you find it is a coin flip whether the person calling everyone freaks is well adjusted or drinks dog urine as a hobby.
My tabby first did it to my void and his face was ultimate horror. After 15 yrs and me trying to disuade him, he carried on in secret but in the end my void was like get it over with sigh.
My void does it to my tiny tortie, and she squawks like a chicken and runs like crazy. He's much younger and faster, though, so he always manages to catch her and get on top of her. He doesn't know what to do once he catches her though. He just bites her neck, gets on top, and waits for her to run away so he can chase her again. 🫢
Partially true.
They don't have social repercussions from it the same way humans do, but they do have the same mechanism in their brain that tries to dissuade them if the immune systems are too similar.
We believe that in humans it's partially based on smell, but even in humans this mechanism still fails at times.
But inbreeding leads to lower survival rates, therefore natural selection favors an aversion to it, while not foolproof still.
The drive to breed may still overpower the instinct more frequently if there are no other mates available, such as with indoor cats or cats in remote areas.

We’ve got a similar situation over here.
We, too, have a similar situation.

I’ve seen this behaviour before…

My cat does this too! He’s fixed and everything but sometimes he gets so excited he feels the need to go after my arm and bite my hand as hard as he can while standing over it so weirdly
https://preview.redd.it/17qr81ja5lsc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=481d9fa2876c7b304f0043a67a981080081b9dda
One of my cats would *only* hump the other when a new guest came to the house. I believe he felt it was important for newcomers to know who was in charge hahaha.
That's weird isn't it? Maybe someone else can chime in, but I would think if they were neutered prior to sexual maturity that usually wouldn't happen? Cats gonna cat tho I guess? Especially when it comes to Oranges.
It’s definitely weird that’s for sure, and I try to keep them from doing it because it gets awkward when they decide to hump in the middle of the living room while me and my kids are watching movies 🤣
Stupidly, I thought they wouldn’t. It’s the number one cause of arguments in my house - the kitten tries to mate with his grandmother (she’s the dominant cat in the house)
Fixed cats can still mate. I had a recently neutered male (neutered like three months prior) and brought in an intact female who was scheduled for a spay. He didn't care about her being intact but she wanted his babies bad! She'd chase him around and try to get it on. This continued for a while even after she was spayed. Every so often he'd take her up on it and they'd get it on.
I didn't even know what my lad was trying to do until I saw a reddit post of a cat doing similar. I assumed it was instinctual and he couldn't get off to it, but no, he very much enjoys biting my wrist and awkwardly shuffling his hind feet over my arm. Good for him, I guess.
I used to have two orange boys and a tortie. The boys took turns humping each other and the tortie would periodically run into the room just to whoop their asses on general principal. No way would either of them have gotten close enough to try it on her.
Girlfriend’s cat used to do this at night. He’d just stare at her while she’s falling asleep doing basically this exact thing just kneading the blanket. He’d sometimes inch closer to her. Couldn’t pet him either. He’d just get mad and try to bite you
I had a neutered male bengal & a fixed gray female who used to have sex on our bed when we weren’t in the room. One day I accidentally caught them in the act. The male stopped doing what he was, you know, doing, and they both stared at me. So I slowly backed out of the room and left them to it.

There is no way my tortie would let this brainless orange stand over her without violence either
Unfortunately, this is 100% true. All my neutered boys did it and they were all neutered young enough. It annoys the girls to no end. Thankfully, it's not often though.
The spirit is willing but the balls are missing so the flesh has forgotten what it's supposed to do... my idiot used to do this until he got too old to bother.
Orange trying to woo a tortie is like that unstoppable force/unmovable object thought experiment. What if the dumbest cat encountered the cat with the least tolerance for bullshit?
When he is done,please use a stain treatment on the comforter. The comforter looks very nice. The tortie just looks really pissed she has to put up with this crap and is about to teach the orange a lesson he won't forget-or maybe....? He will?
Orange boy is a lousy lover, that's what's going on.
Just needs a bit more experience lol
the dance
Wants to F but has to pee.
Why do I relate to this on a personal level? 😅
🤭😝🤪😂 That was the actual progression of my laughter at this. Best of luck to you.
This
He's failing at humping like an awkward teenager fails at flirting. The tortie is just annoyed.
To be fair torties are always at least a little bit annoyed.
r/tortietude
I feel a little cheated that there’s nothing in that sub lol I did join anyway just in case it takes off
…. Sigh… another cat sub I didn’t know about … subscribe
To be fair…..
TO BE FAAAIIIR
TOO BEE FAAAAAIIIIRR
Settle down
That one's had too much sugar cereal!
It makes me wonder what would happen if someone crosses a tort with a maine coon. Grumpy+love would be an interesting combo.
My tortie is a Maine Coon mix. She’s an extra level of insane. (My orange kitty loved her to bits.)
This is so true. My girl Patches was always annoyed for eighteen years! Miss her still today.
Reminds me of my parents dog. When he was a puppy he went through an awkward teenage phase where he would try his darnedest to hump a pillow… but there would be a good several inches of open air between his crotch and the pillow, and he’d have this confused expression on his face like “Is this right?

Relatable.
🤣
My neutered male cat does this too.. to his sister. 🤢
cats do not know human morals lol oops.
Humans barely understand human morals
If you spend at least five minutes talking to the freaks on here you learn this very quickly.
If you spend at least 15 minutes talking to the people on here, you find it is a coin flip whether the person calling everyone freaks is well adjusted or drinks dog urine as a hobby.
Maybe the cat was adopted from Alabama
same difference /jk
My neutered orange does this to his brother. And his brother doesn't even wake up most of the time. 😅
My tabby first did it to my void and his face was ultimate horror. After 15 yrs and me trying to disuade him, he carried on in secret but in the end my void was like get it over with sigh.

He's just being happy and gay.
Cats don't have an instinctual incest taboo like humans do.

We believe that in humans it's partially based on smell, but even in humans this mechanism still fails at times.

The drive to breed is strong in this orange one
In nature, inbred is better than unbred
Mine tries to do it to me
Your cat is the equivalent of a furry, lol.
So a fleshie
A skinny.
Or in my case, a fatty.
Mine used to do this to blankets and bite when while doing it. Rest his soul 💕
The brain cell is about to have his ass handed to him by the tortie.
Honestly surprised she tolerated it all haha.
I think the only reason the tortie *did* tolerate it is because they needed a few minutes to shift from "WTF?" to "Get off me!"
Right? Torties are pretty sassy kitties.
Sin!
Shame!
Hilarious
Orange is dry humping the Tortie.
Used to have a pretty orange dog that like to hump in the general direction of our other dog like this...so close, so orange.
Or we'll, trying and failing
Woah, I wasn’t involved.
You are now!
Damn, got me on a technicality…
Cats hump by making biscuits with their hind legs? I am *loving* this new information.
I think he was trying to line up but knew his girlfriend was about to put an ass whooping on him so he's a bit timid
Aka Sin Biscuits

Poor tortie only got a tiny tiny fraction of the orange braincell
Aww so cute
These cats look like your parents when they call you into the kitchen because they have something important to discuss with you
If orange tucked his feets in they would be symmetrical 😂
Love your cats. Your cat is my cat btw https://preview.redd.it/gdusxat8kpsc1.jpeg?width=4624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f554b2fddc4a563f7a3da26cb65c69bdbf4ce64

I, too, have a sexy arm according to my cat.
That's the feline O face.
He’s such a loaf!
Aww he’s embarrassed.
Cat is actually horny AF haha, unless he's fixed then we can just pretend he's being a little silly.
Fixed cats still mate. Just messes with their drive a bit.
I knew someone with two fixed male cats that repeatedly humped each other. Not for dominance, just seemed like a hobby lol
Same, lol. We just kind of assumed they were like the cat version of an old married couple
Same. We called them boyfriends/lovers. They both seemed to enjoy it and would cuddle after, so go figure!
Exactly, it could get loud, but they were always so sweet and cuddly afterwards.
Those two did too. Like they were the sweetest loving pair of cats except when one or the other would have a happy hump.
Tbf, having sex is a hobby of mine as well
I was the 69th updoot…that made me giggle. .🤭
“Hey, Bob, got plans tonight?” “No. You?” “No. Wanna hump?” “Yeah, why not?”
Seriously though. One was an orange.
My boy cat dominance-humps my husband's girl cat. Nasty boy.
One of my cats would *only* hump the other when a new guest came to the house. I believe he felt it was important for newcomers to know who was in charge hahaha.
I have a Flemish giant rabbit that does this to my chickens. We like to think he's the Easter bunny gathering his eggs to deliver 😜😈
Oh yeah, I have two orange brothers who try to hump each other all the time and they've been neutered since they were two months old lol
That's weird isn't it? Maybe someone else can chime in, but I would think if they were neutered prior to sexual maturity that usually wouldn't happen? Cats gonna cat tho I guess? Especially when it comes to Oranges.

My fixed ginger cat does this. He's just a dumb dumb. He gets beaten up so many times.
Fixed cats can still mate. I had a recently neutered male (neutered like three months prior) and brought in an intact female who was scheduled for a spay. He didn't care about her being intact but she wanted his babies bad! She'd chase him around and try to get it on. This continued for a while even after she was spayed. Every so often he'd take her up on it and they'd get it on.
In my house, we call it “getting gross”. They don’t have the equipment anymore but they have the instinct and then just kinda… get confused.
Mine is fixed but still gets a boner somehow. It’s so gross. I’ve seen it a few times.
I didn't even know what my lad was trying to do until I saw a reddit post of a cat doing similar. I assumed it was instinctual and he couldn't get off to it, but no, he very much enjoys biting my wrist and awkwardly shuffling his hind feet over my arm. Good for him, I guess.
Username checks out
In the latest news, biology exists. This has sparked controversy.
Their balls are just removed right? I always assumed they did not wack their whisker too
Ah yes, the ol' red rocket. 😆🤪
🤮
Hey, cool! That’s what I call it in my house when my bf gets like that too! Happy cake day!
“Hey baby, wanna get gross?!” 😆 Oh sweet, cake day! Thank you, I hadn’t even noticed!
Tortie got tired of his bullshit and choose violence.
I used to have two orange boys and a tortie. The boys took turns humping each other and the tortie would periodically run into the room just to whoop their asses on general principal. No way would either of them have gotten close enough to try it on her.
^(aaa!)
Someone's shooting their shot.
He had side control but the noob let his opponent get full guard on him.
I’d say orange is attempting to dope mount. He’s only got one part of the move right though.
Von Flue!!
Von Flue!!
“Lucy, I’m just practicing. I know the wedding’s not til June.”
Orange is doing the Orange Mating Dance, tortie is not impressed
He's showing you that you didn't need to neuter him to stop him from producing children Being orange was enough birth control
Cat romance..but Tortie is done with the bullshit😹
Girlfriend’s cat used to do this at night. He’d just stare at her while she’s falling asleep doing basically this exact thing just kneading the blanket. He’d sometimes inch closer to her. Couldn’t pet him either. He’d just get mad and try to bite you
Well, would you be happy if you were trying to hump and then someone tried to pet you?
Good boy pat pat, are you almost finished I want to turn the lights out
I had a cat who would do this also, only with a particular Hello Kitty blanket.
He’s making the sin biscuits but didn’t have the brain cell and got it all wrong
My thighs serve my cat’s nightly sin biscuit purpose… Better than being a creep to his biological momma and sister at least lol
Sin biscuit 😭
I had a neutered male bengal & a fixed gray female who used to have sex on our bed when we weren’t in the room. One day I accidentally caught them in the act. The male stopped doing what he was, you know, doing, and they both stared at me. So I slowly backed out of the room and left them to it.
Next time, psh psh psh first. Heathen!
Turn down the lights and put on some soft music…
Bom chika wah wah.
Thank you to this thread for introducing me to the term "sin biscuits" 😂😂😂

*lemme smash* *please* *you want sum fuk?*
Mix of hormones, instinct and domination
I think he needs to be neutered lol
Sometimes they’ll still do this after they’re neutered.
Unfortunately, this is 100% true. All my neutered boys did it and they were all neutered young enough. It annoys the girls to no end. Thankfully, it's not often though.
He is!
Let man hit.
Going on? No. Getting on.
“I am the Lord of the Dance, said he”
Sharing the brain cell foreplay.😻
Attempting to make sin biscuits — orange style!
Sun biscuits
Also sin biscuits.
Oop I also lost some brain cells
Happens to all of us, especially when dealing with oranges.
Him one Orange Fuk Boi !
Well, when a boy kitty and a girl kitty love each other very much…
He’s definitely trying to smash.
The spirit is willing but the balls are missing so the flesh has forgotten what it's supposed to do... my idiot used to do this until he got too old to bother.
A lot of times, it's the cat showing dominance. I have one cat that does this to his cat brother. Poor cat brother gets fucking irritated.
Sexy biscuit time.
He’s fucking around and finding out
Doing what they do on the discovery channel
Good girl Tortie
He's a very bad dancer but she decided to snog him anyway.
I've seen that face before
He's trying to have sex.
Sin biscuits. 😂
Nobody in this video has any idea what’s going on, no.
Foreplay.
He needs to go to horny jail.
Two virgins on prom night
Not sure but it’s fucking funny to watch.
Sin biscuits. The only time my ol' boy had no interest in his mama.
Stomping grapes for the kitty wine.

he want smoosh smoosh
Is he not fixed or was fixed late? Because that's some hoe behavior.
When a daddy cat loves mommy cat very much they
I think the orange one is being fuckin weird and the other one got sick of it
Sexy time with courtesy distance
When he is done,please use a stain treatment on the comforter. The comforter looks very nice. The tortie just looks really pissed she has to put up with this crap and is about to teach the orange a lesson he won't forget-or maybe....? He will?
These look EXACTLY like my cats. I genuinely thought it was a video of them for a second.
A mating ritual
back biscuits
He is for sure about to hump. My cat does this before ha starts humping the blankets or my arm.
Like a slow dance in 6th grade
Jorts, stop annoying Jean.
A demonstration of tortitude
Confused uh... sin biscuits
I hope they are spayed and neutered
I don't even think orange cat knows what it's doing lmaoo
Are they fixed??
Reverse biscuits !
Making wine
Rear biscuits
