Do male cats recognize their offspring as their own?
Yes. Both male and female cats care for their litter for awhile before they are old enough to go off on their own. Although the males don't usually feed the kittens, they will guard they and their mother from danger. However, when the litter grows up and moves away, both mother and father will go off alone, and quite possibly never see each other again. If they do meet again, they will not reconize each other or their own kittens.

If he has kittens of his own he should not be hissing at all at them. Just get the kittens to leave the male alone. Always stay in the room when they are together and dont let them to close together.

He is just defending his home he will get used to it.

How many babys can cats have at a time?
Female cats can have litters that range to 1 to 10 kittens. Beware.

Good luck with your new kittens! ~Have a blessed day!~
