Why is my 2 year old male cat bitting my female kitten? Please help...

Alright so I have a cat, his name is Ally and he has never been spayed or neutered, I found some kittens that didn't have a home and they seemed sick so I've been taking care of them till we find them a good home, one is a female and the other one is a male, again I don't know how Old these kittens are but my 2 year old male cat keeps biting the female kitten on the neck and trying to run away with her, I usually just catch him and save the kitten but I don't know what to do I don't know if He is trying to hurt her can someone please help... Oh and he is for some reason also biting the male kitten really hard on the neck till he cries please help me...

My adult male Scrabbles who is neutered does this to my foster kittens also. I see it as parenting and a way to teach them acceptable behavior but if he makes them cry too much or is too aggressive, I redirect him so that he doesn't harm them. This is just my opinion and experience. Could be something totally different going on with your cat. Just keep a very close eye on him and the kittens. Wouldn't want something serious to happen to them.

Is there a reason he hasn't been neutered? I have to think this is territorial behavior due to the testosterone.

I agree with talkingpeanut, this kind of aggression in unneutered males is common. Some neutered males will still behave this way around kittens though, the best thing would be to keep the kittens away from your cat when you aren't able to watch them and keep an eye on them, especially if you are worried about them getting hurt. In my experience it is usually best to slowly introduce cats and kittens, even the sweetest cats can sometimes react badly to having a newcomer in their space.

The reason he isn't neutered is because he is usually the only cat in the house we haven't thought it was necessary but if it is important to neutered a cat I will try and save up money to get it done at the vet

I think it's probably important, especially since he's showing territorial behavior.

There are lots of spay and neuter clinics that offer low-cost services. If you let us know where you are located we can help!

I live in Hialeah Florida and I'll see if I can afford it I'm literally about to lose my apartment

our neutered cat wasn't any better with the newborn.  can you keep them in another room?  i kept our newborn in a large aquarium with soft blankets to keep the big cat away.

Yes that's what I've been doing I sometimes let them out so they can play and be kittens

I couldn't keep the two kittens I found, because my cat kept harassing them, so basically I was watching tv and my cat had been staring at my mother with a very dirty look my mom didn't do anything to him she was just petting him and he out of nowhere attacks her and I basically tried to pull him away from her but he attacked me back and basically bit me a lot of times and I broke my wrist trying to pull him away I don't know if I should go to the ER I'm so lost my parents want to give him away he's too violent but I love him he's always been there for me what should I do here is a image of my arm.

Ouch! I'm so sorry you have to deal with it. I'm sure everyone is very upset right now. 

It's possible that he is still stressed out by the kittens episode and something triggered re-directed aggression. This can be very scary for all involved (including the cat). If you can somehow have him stay in a separate room from your parents, with a litterbox in one corner and food and water in the other, just to give everyone time to settle down, that may be a good idea. Your cat probably needs a day or two to calm down.

He absolutely needs to neutered ASAP. Testosterone levels make aggression far worse. There are ways to deal with feline aggression but it's unfair to him to try and work on that without neutering him, sorry. As others have said, there are low-cost and even free options. If you let us know where you live, we can help you find such options.

As for your injuries, you need to disinfect them thoroughly. When did you get your last tetanus shot? You should get one if you didn't in the past 10 years (always good, just in case). Watch out for signs of infection and if that happens, please get medical treatment.

You seriously need to have him neutered.  There is a thing called redirected aggression where your cat cannot or will not attack the object of it's anger and so will go for another cat or sometimes a human.  I would say that your boy is still not happy about the kittens, even if you've rehomed them.

Un-neutered male cats and kittens simply do not go together.  The way to go about it would be to get him neutered, then if you choose to bring other cats into the house, wait a while (the hormones take a while to leave his body) and then go through a slow process of introduction.

You really need to get your arm seen to too... cat scratches can be nasty.   If you've actually broken your wrist you really do need to go to the ER, but a broken wrist is hard to do.. you have probably sprained it.  In any case, a medical examination would be a good idea.
