I have a farm with a ferral barn cat.(When I can catch her she will be spayed.) The litter before last had an adorable orange male kitten. He is now 6 -8 months old and the only one still here from that batch of kitttens. Since then mother has had another batch and they are about 12 weeks old. The orange one is still here and plays with the new kittens all the time. Momma cat doesn't seem to care and he is a great kitten sitter while Mom is out hunting. Most male cats if not fixed will leave home and go find their own territory as they become of breeding age. As any responsible pet owner should, at least get the female spayed to limit the amount of unwanted cats you end up with in your home. My three house cats are spayed.There are lots of programs out there to assist people who do not have the funds to do this P.E.T.S is one.

I have never heard of that being a problem, especially since there is no other male. But male cats do often mark furniture and that may increase. Also their urine is very strong smelling. I would keep the mom and kittens separated from the male cat for the first few days. Taking him in to be fixed would be a good way to do that. There is usually some sort of low cost spay neuter in most communities. This is kitten season and many many kittens are being born that will never find a home. Please get your cats fixed and also make sure that the kittens are spayed and neutered. I don't think it is good for cats to go outside so I'd never suggest that. Lions kill the cubs of other male lions when they take over a pride, not their own. Did you know that there are 45 cats and dogs for every person born. Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever get a home. Only 1 out of 12 cats born ever find a home. 800 dogs & cats are KILLED each HOUR in the U.S, because there are not enough homes for them.

Yes & they should be. Dont even think of separating until the kitten is fully weaned at around 8 weeks. If you mean can you keep both as pets then the answer is yes but you should have both spayed as the male will eventually make the female pregnant. No incest taboo with animals

Yes for the moment. When the tom comes of age have him deballed, else he'll have it off with the mother and she will produce a litter prone to sore eyes etc. A bit like jade goody, they will be ill-bred.

Yes for a while, if your lucky they might be friends but stemming from the wild it is natural for a mother cat to reject her offspring to go live their own lives separately.

yeah at first but they both need to be fixed as soon as possible (when the milk dries up) because in a few months they CAN and WILL breed with each other.

yes why not? You just have to be careful when he older or he will mate with his mum.
