Hiya,

This is first post.. exciting!

Ok I have a male bengal who is called Leo. Leo is three years old, very naughty and he likes to hump. First he liked only fury things, or blankets, then pillows, then my legs while I slept and now my 14 week old boy baby bengal called Kit.

I just want to know if anyone knows why he is doing this? Its started when he was a kitten and it has escalated! I am a bit worried about Leo humping baby Kit as he can be rather aggressive and I have caught him pretty much smothering the new kitten. I have had to pull him off him so many times in fear that the little one can't breath.

Kit is peeing everywhere, as to be expected. Other than that they eat, sleep, play and wash each other. I can't see Leo intentionally wishing to smother/hump Kit to death...lol

Any suggestions?

Is he neutered? If not....do it!!

Obviously, you have not had your kitten very long. Were they introduced properly? Did the new kitten have a safe room for a while? The bigger question is whether Sir Leo is neutered! if not, then it needs to be done. That might eliminate the humping. However, when Raiden attacks another cat, it appears that he is humping the kitty when he is not! This has only happened a couple of times when my eyes were on something else and not trying to keep two male cats separated.

The reason Kit is peeing outside the litter box can be two or three fold. First of all, multiple cat families need multiple litter boxes. Kit may want his own box. Second of all, this is probably stress related due to the aggression of Leo. Kit needs to build up his confidence. As he grows, he will be able to stand his ground more with Leo, but for now, he's a tiny kitty and he's being overwhelmed by Leo. Sounds like you need to continue supervising them for a while.

The other thing is to consult your vet and see if they have any recommendations. Right now, you need to make sure Kit stays safe around Leo.
