Why is my cat acting strange, humping, and biting me when I lie down?

Question

My cat is behaving strangely. He jumps up on my belly when I'm laying down and first he marches and purrs and then he starts wiggling his butt in a very strange way and tries to bite me if I try to get him off. What is wrong with him?? Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Male | 14 lbs

This may actually be normal affectionate behavior for a cat (kneading/‘making muffins’ and wanting to be stroked along the length of his back and tail) If he is not neutered and is between 6 months-a year old and only recently started acting like this, hitting puberty may partially explain the change in behavior. Non -prescription over the counter pheromones such as Feliway plug ins or sprays or a Feliway collar or daily VetriScience liquid Composure supplements may help calm him down/reduce his biting tendency, as may having him neutered by your veterinarian. Good luck!
