  1. you can try now but BE CAREFUL  AND DON'T  TAKE YOUR EYES OFF HIM  it will be safer when the kitten is about 3 to 6 weeks old


  2. you can let the daddy see the babies, as long as you are present, monitor every move he makes, if he hisses or growls remove him, some male cats are great with kittens and others are not, it just depends on your male, watch carefully and don't leave them all alone together until 2 weeks after you neuter him, it takes that long for the testosterone to leave his system,  

  3. be careful males will sometimes kill the kittens.....hopefully by now you have neutered the male.  not long after a cat gives birth she can get pregnant again.


  4. Neuter daddy kitty first.

    Then slowly introduce them through a baby gate.

    If he acts badly just seeing it through the baby gate, I woudln't put them together. If he can't get over it, you might have to choose who you keep. And if it comes down to that, please surrender either to your vet or an Animal Rescue and Foster organization that doesn't euthanize the "extras". So many of my kitties came from people who just put them out on the side of the road.

  5. after both daddy and kitten are neutered and the cat is old enough to kick his butt, about 1 year old.

    daddys tend to kill babies. most cats dont like kittens, the kittens want to play.
