I've been looking around online to get a definitive answer to this but all I can find is info on feral cats.
Diamond is a small cat for her age and Spaz is the daddy cat and also her brother (I know, right?). He's an extremely loving cat in general; lets my friend's toddler use him as a pillow, has never scratched any of us, and is all around a sweet, good kitty. He's not fxed but he hasn't even sprayed anything, either. I've been helping care for him and Diamond since their birth last year and I think that's part of the reason they're so comfortable here.
Anyhoo, a friend of mine found out I was having Spaz go in with Diamond and the kittens at night because if he's separated from Diamond or the cats for too long he starts crying all over the house. We also have two other older female cats who I think would be more aggressive and I want to keep the kittens safe.
When Diamond went into labor, Spaz ran into the room to be with her and helped her clean the kittens after they were born. He usually just lays with them and the mama and sleeps, probably keeping an eye on his babies as much as Diamond.
Should I have any concerns about him eating the kittens? I know Spaz and don't think he would even consider doing anything like that because he's such a sweetheart, but I want to make sure. She put just enough worry in me to ask for another opinion lol.
Thanks for your time! I look forward to hearing from someone.
