Because Antony had no intention of allowing Brutus and Cassius to get away with murdering Antony's friend Caesar, or with impeding Antony's desire to become as powerful a ruler as Caesar was. He didn't give a hoot what Cassius and Brutus told him to do; he agreed with them temporarily because they were a dozen dangerous men holding bloody knives, but had every intention of breaking his word the moment he could.
Mark Antony
Brutus believes that Antony is the same kind of person he is; a man who can be trusted to keep his word and act honourably. While Antony is suggesting that Brutus is dishonourable by calling him honourable, he himself is acting dishonourably by breaking the spirit of his promise to Brutus. Irony upon irony!
Antony is dangerous. Cassius foresaw that Antony, if allowed to live, would thwart the conspirators' plans and make himself a dictator.
No, Antony is against the conspirtors. He thought it was wrong for them to kill Caesar.
Cassius
cassius
The reason Antony does this is to make the citizens/ the poor to go and against Cassius, Brutus, and the conspirators. :D
Cassius tells Brutus that allowing Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral could be dangerous because Antony is a powerful speaker and may turn the crowd against them by reminding them of Caesar's good deeds. Cassius warns that Antony could incite the crowd to rebel against the conspirators.

Cato was a foe, also...but not a member of the conspirators. Marcus Brutus was not considered a foe, but valued the city of Rome above his best friend. The conspirators however, were foes. Marc Antony was namely one of the largest conspirators, along with Cassius. Marcus Brutus was not considered a foe, but valued the city of Rome above his best friend.

The triumvirate members who fought against Brutus and the conspirators were Octavian and Marc Antony.

Yes, but not immediately. Rome was in turmoil after Caesar murder and Antony and the Senate came to a loose compromise which rather rewarded the assassins but kept Caesar's acts in force as law. Then Octavian came on the scene and after a bumpy relationship with Marc Antony, they joined forces in a war of vengeance against Caesar's killers. Eventually, Antony and Octavian had a war for supremacy, which was a civil war in all but name. It was thirteen years after Caesar's death that this last war took place.
Antony does several things to the conspirators. After they kill Caesar he shakes their blood-soaked hands as if joining them. Then he turns against them by reading Caesars will to Rome and showing Rome his stab wounds, therefor creating pity amongst Rome's citizens. Then he and the conspirators go to war and makes Cassius and Brutus commit scuicide.
