Male cat in the house with new kittens
I have two cats a male who is fixed and a female who just had kittens. She just brought the kittens upstairs and I'm worried that the male may hurt them. The kittens are about 10 weeks old and have started to move around and explore the rest of the house. Up until now my boy would pretty much ignore them, but Ihave noticed that now he watches them and the mother is hissing at him a lot more. The kittens will only be here for another couple of weeks until they can be on their own. Should I confine them? Maxx is not usually aggressive and gets along with other cats well. He has an entire entourage of cats of different sizes and ages in the backyard waiting for him to come outside, and he has never had a fight with any of them that I have noticed. But today he looked at the kittens like they were prey. What should I do??
