However, a male cat can still be a very involved father figure! Here's how:
* Protecting the kittens: Male cats can be very protective of their offspring, guarding them from danger and even helping the mother cat with caring for them.
* Bringing food for the mother: While he can't feed the kittens directly, a male cat may bring food to the mother, providing her with nourishment and energy to care for the kittens.
* Playing with the kittens: Once the kittens are old enough, the father cat may play with them, helping them develop their hunting and social skills.
While a male cat's role in raising kittens is primarily supportive, it's crucial to remember that the mother cat is the primary caregiver.
