What does it mean when my cat kneads and moves hips weirdly on me?

Question

My cat has started doing this weird thing. He jumps onto my bed (almost always when I'm in it) amd starts kneading and marching on me and the bed. He also moves his hips weirdly, almost like he's about to poop but never does. He will occasionally let out an unusal meow. What does this behavior mean? Is he unhappy or in pain? I'm so confused and worried. Please help! Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Male | 12 lbs

I'm sure this is going to gross you out, but Binx is masturbating. This is perfectly normal behavior, and many cats do it. I had a cat who would try to do this on my all the time. I would simply pick him up and move him off my lap when he tried to do this behavior. I suggest doing that to Binx. I hope this helps!
