Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This is not an unusual behavior for intact (unneutered) male cats to do. I recommend having Shadow neutered by your veterinarian to try to get this behavior to stop, before this becomes a habit for him. Neutering tends to stop most sexual-type behaviors. I hope this is helpful.
