Looks more like nursing biscuits to me. When my cat makes sin biscuits he carries the blanket around humping it. It’s VERY obvious. 🤣

Yep, suckling the blanket to boot. This is full on nursing ears to tail.

Yes actually. I tend to end up with bottle babies and I see it in about half those cats. It happens sometimes in cases when they had an appropriate time with Mom but it's far less common. They can also start doing that if they have anxiety or pain as a way to self soothe. And some of them really get into certain materials and start it out of nowhere.
I have a cat currently that likes to nurse his bankie. We actually have three so that there's always at least one clean. He's a bottle baby who loves Sherpa blankets. I found out because a friend got me a Sherpa robe and I couldn't keep Apollo from sucking on it.

My friend has a cat who used to do this exact same thing to a very similar blanket that we ended up naming “titty blanket” because, well..

u/awesomesauce2435 14d ago
I had a very similar blanket and my previous cat also did the same exact thing! I think something about the texture of the really thick yarn must just be super comforting to them because she never did it with any other blankets, even other fuzzy blankets

My old roommate's cat "nursed" WHILE making sin biscuits. He also dragged the blanket into a room where people were if he was alone where the blanket was. We called him a kinky exhibitionist 😭

I am leaning towards earnest biscuit making, but I feel like we weren't really able to see enough of the hip movements to completely rule out sinning either.

u/CorridorsOfNakedLite 14d ago
Doubt if you will, that is your right. But the cat is laying down... sin biscuits usually include an arched back, some slight hump motions, and biting and holding the blanket like a female. This is just suckling in the video. Without a more explicit video we cant speculate on behavior we cant see.

u/Dapper-Ad-468 14d ago
Agree. We have a pervy Pete and there is a lot more back action with a super high hump. He also meowls a little and falls over. 🐈⬛ I'd record it, but I'm afraid it will be used as cat corn on Reddit 😸

Binky Biscuits. Doesn’t look pervy. Suckling the blanket while making biscuits, much as a human child would cuddle a blanket and use a pacifier to mimic closeness, warmth, and nursing.
Sin Biscuits usually involve humpy rumpy movements or raised rear or the … scoot thing. I was raised in a household that had a bunch of cats, and I have seen a variety of things. Luckily I didn’t realize what I was seeing until later.
This cat seems to be doing a self soothing thing, not cacking it.

Normal biscuits only here. The rear leg lift is a slight concern, but everything else is standard

u/Disneyhorse 14d ago
Maybe, but my six month old kitten who was spayed at nine weeks old does a weird thing with her hind leg because she’s not sure how to be comfortable with it.
47
u/realbasilisk 14d ago
Yeah it certainly can be that they're just a bit unco with their limbs. The rear leg movement is the only thing potentially indicating sin biscuits, but I don't think it's the case with this one, he just wants to touch the blanket with as many paws as possible cause it feels nice.

u/CheckInteresting4922 14d ago
My cat does the same thing! I even took her to the vet to make sure there wasn’t a problem with her hip / leg and they said nope she’s just a weirdo! It’s always up, out, or being used as her pillow.
16
u/ghostyspice 14d ago
My old lady does an errant back foot sometimes when she gets really into her baby biscuits, and there is absolutely no sinning happening there. She was definitely separated from her mother too early [she was a rescue through my local shelter, and she and her littermates were roughly 5 or 6 weeks old when they came to their foster home with no mama cat] and never outgrew the nursing behaviors.
I’ve had her since she weighed about two pounds, and she’s 13 now. I have a feeling she’s not going to outgrow it at this point. She basically only does it when she’s on a blanket that I’m actively using though, so I give her lots of snuggles and pets when she does 😊

Given how wide his arms are, I think he’s imagining the side of another cat and not the hind end. Therefore, thinking about mommy not mami.

We have that exact same blanket on our bed, and our two cats do the same thing to it. We call them compulsory biscuits because they must make biscuits when they walk on it. To the point that you can tell it annoys them when they just want to walk across the bed, because it takes forever making biscuits the whole way.

Sin biscuits require a certain positioning with the back feet, your kitt is laying down trying to also make biscuits either their hind feet. This is pure biscuits.

People call a lot of intense biscuits “sin biscuits” but 9/10 I disagree. These are just regular comfort biscuits. Back feet can get into regular biscuits too.

u/my_dystopia 10d ago
My girl cat does this. We had her since she was 8 weeks old and she liked being swaddled like a baby and carried around.
Shes now almost a year old and still does the little suckling thing on soft blankets when she makes biscuits.
But I think it’s genuinely just a comfort thing.

My cat does this too - since she was a baby, and she always wants to get her blankie whenever she feels strong affection (pets, cuddles etc.) I believe it’s a oxytocin-related behavior rather than sexual.

I don't know if I would call it a "memory of his mother" but the movements are stimulating and soothing because the infantile wiring hangs around. People do similar things. They fidget, like having their head rubbed, milkshakes are better with a straw. When you pet a cat it's like a giant maternal tongue to them but they know they're not being licked it's just satisfying.
