Why Does My Male Cat Attack My Female Cat?

[jencam]

I don't want anymore boy cats. I ended up with two, and one is a thug.

The other one is a DEAR but he wants to stay out too much and make me worry.

They both came from the street so I understand that's part of it, but I still would rather have a girl IF I ever actually pick a cat/kitten.

Usually they pick me.

Last time I wanted a girl kitten but a male adult said hello? Miss, I am hungry and cold. I am very nice (liar) so here we are.

They are spayed and neutered and they had it done at a young age. They also grew up with each other they are not that far apart in age. But if this keeps happening I won't be pleased. Also our female cat keeps mewoing when she goes downstairs but then when you go to get her to stop she runs up the stairs, but then she will go back downstairs and do it again what do I do about that because it happens everyday?

I have a neutered 10 yr old male cat and recently rescued a young very pregnant cat from neighbors that just"put her out " to fend on her own ,she had them in my spare bathroom and are almost three weeks old . I don't want my cat to feel left out but don't want the new family of 6 kittens and a mom to be neglected . Looking for homes for them . Will my cat accept the kittens ? He was pretty friendly with the mom as neighbors , I want to do what's best for them all . In a dilemma .

Unless you can find a fosterer to take them, you'll probably have the mom & kittens for 8 to 12 weeks before the kittens can be weaned & adopted. Your male & the mama cat may have been friendly before, but things are different now. She's going to very protective of her babies, and you did the right thing keeping him away from them. Even though it's been 3 weeks, it still may be a bit early to let him visit. If & when you let him near them, supervise closely and don't push it. Mama cat may not ever let him near the kittens...... hard to say.
If you end up keeping them separated for the entire time you have the kittens there, it should be fine as long as you give your boy plenty of extra attention. You don't say what you're going to do with mama cat, but hopefully you will see that she gets spayed and re-homed... or you take her in yourself. If you decide to keep her, you can go through the introduction to your cat once the kittens are gone (and after she's spayed). That will greatly increase the chances of things going well.

Bless you for taking in that little family in need, and whatever you do don't give her back to those neighbors. Hope things go well with the little ones.
