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.

∙ 11y agoIf your cats are very friendly and it isn't new to them that you bring home cats, I would say no. But if it is your first time, I would suggest hiding that kitten in a safe place where the other cats don't go. Just until it has opened its eyes and looks very strong. But still, watch it socialize with other cats so when something bad happens you can fix it.

∙ 13y agoMale cats will, more often than not, completely ignore the kittens. It is quite rare for a Tom to kill kittens, newborn or otherwise. Male cats have nothing to do with the rearing of the kittens; he will wait until the Queen has weaned the kittens and comes back on heat.
As for female cats, it depends on the individual. Some Queens will take on abandoned kittens if she is still rearing a litter, and some will refuse. It is not uncommon for a mother cat to kill and/or eat her kittens if she is far too stressed, or believes something is wrong with them.

∙ 8y agoCats can be territorial. But if this other cat has lived with you, he/she is likely to be more curious than anything. If you have an unneutered male, the male could possibly kill the kittens.

What to due when a male cat bites a kitten behind the head?
it is normal for a female to bite the back of the kittens neck when they want to move them to a place that they think is safe, but a male? if the male is the kittens father then he may be trying to be like the mother but normally the father doesn't want anything to do with the kittens and if he isn't related to the kittens, then he doesn't like them and is trying to hurt them or even kill them, in some cases.

orange is sex linked dominate, a female orange cat will almost always have a few orange kittens, and a male orange cat can have orange daughters --- If the orange one is the mother, all the male kittens will be orange. If the orange is the father, you wont get any ginger kittens but you will get tortoiseshell female kittens.
