Is the male cat allowed to see the mothers babies at 2 weeks old?
Only in two circumstances. First is if you're in a cattery. Toms in catteries are around so many kittens they don't feel kittens pose a threat to their genes, so the kittens will be safe. You've seen professional pictures of mother cats with their kittens? Well...usually that's the father cat. Mother cats are not fit to photograph when they're nursing. At one time I was running the Home for Wayward Cats, and I always had kittens around. The best "mama cat" I ever saw was the huge orange tom we had. The other circumstance is if the tom's a Siamese. For some reason no one's quite sure of, Siamese toms are very good with kittens. But any other tom? Keep that thing away from your kittens unless you like seeing kittens killed before your eyes.

Will the father cat hurt the kittens after they are born?
No. I have a family of ferral cats living in my garden and the father and mother cat look after the 4 kittens who are now a year old better than some human parents. They show affection, scold, and look after them. When the youngest fell off a fence the father went immediately to her aid and had her stretching and purring to make sure she was all right. The father cat also lets the 4 kittens eat their food first. I hope this answers your concerns. I'm sorry but to just say no is untrue. Just because that's one persons experience doesn't mean its the same for all cats. It depends on the cats. I have the opposite experience happening right now. 2 adult indoor cats. Female had kittens. Now 8 weeks old. The male has had to be separated in a room from the kittens because of his aggression towards them. There are 2 male and one female kitten. The adult male is aggressive towards the males and they are afraid of him. He tries to mate constantly with the female kitten and bites her and claws at the other two. So my answer is it depends on the cat. Some males are great with kittens and some need to be watched or separated.

there is no medicine that will prevent pregnancy in cats except the fact that cats should spayed if you do not want little kittens around! male cats should be neutered so they do not go tom-catting around populating the neighbourhood, besides males will urinate to mark their territory and a Tom will leave a terrible smell which you do not want!
