What does a dad cat do in the family?

Usually nothing... Other cats, particularly males, will kill kittens to allow the mother cat to comeback into heat, & to remove competition. But, some male cats do help with kittens, defending & even bringing food to the mother cat, which in turn, allows her to feed the kittens. This doesn't happen very often, however.
