My neutered male cat imitates sex on my leg or arm. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 2 years and 4 months old | 9 lbs

Unfortunately this is a normal behavior. Alex is masturbating. When he starts doing it, immediately tell him no, remove him from your arm, and turn your back on him. Ignore him until he behaves appropriately. Once he starts acting normally, give him attention and love. He will learn that he will be ignored if he does this behavior on you.
