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.

Why is my cats urine smell so strong?
Well, any urine from anyone is going to smell, but male cats' urine is especially potent because, if they are not spayed, they use it to mark their territories. The unique smell of the individual cat's urine declares to intruders that they own the territory.

Most emphatically not. Not only do cats not mate for life, they do not even stay monogamous for a single oestrus; it is entirely possible for a litter of kittens born of a single queen to have multiple fathers.

Why cant you breed your female donkey on howrse If you own a male donkey and they are both old female 8 years and male 3 years enough to breed and she has had no offspring yet?
The only way they are not able to breed is; 1. One of them already has 3 offspring. 2. The male didnt offer a covering reserved for the mare. 3. The male is gelded. ( Meaning no longer allowed to breed )

i'd reccomend it because if not the male may or may not kill the offspring depending on if it recognizes them as his own
Why do ants help each other?
From a biological perspective it all comes down to fitness - how capable are you of carrying on as many copies of your own genes as you can to the next generation? Those individuals who have the highest fitness will statistically have more of their own genes carried on to next generations.So why do individual ants help each other, sacrificing their own reproduction? If one ant would start reproducing instead of helping, why wouldn't that be beneficial concidering fitness (the spreading of own genes)? As weird as it may sound, male ants are more related to their sisters than they would be to their own offspring. This is due to the Haplodiploidy-system of ant reproduction, together with the female/male ratio not being 1. It all boils down to the fact that the queen make male offspring by laying unfertilized eggs, and femal offspring by fertilizing the eggs with the sperm she has stored from the mating. As a concequence, male ants can not be related to their male offspring (the male larvae the queen lay), but only their daughters. (They can be related to their grandsons) Cool, huh? ;)So by helping their sisters, they have a better chance of passing on their own genes than they would if they spent alot of energy trying to reproduce.
