hi friends.to make it simple my cats katy and stoovie were born to the same cat so technically i call them sister and bro. now catty gave birth twice and both times stoovie didnt even come home . whenever he comes home,he lashes at katy and her kittys if they ever come near him. after they grow up and i gave away the kittys ,he becomes normal. now katy has 3 kittys now and stoovie is once again mad at her and me

well. sounds like stoovie is a jealous type. Maybe you're giving a lot of attention to kittens? Try giving more attention to stoovie than the kittens, so that he'll feel that he's still loved. Try buying him a new toy too! Stroke his fur in front of the kittens, just so that he knows you still love him. Cats are very sensitive. If they feel lonely, they get out of the house. When he's confident that you still love him, try introducing the kittens to him, start petting them at the same time.

heck no. i saw his attitude with katy's first borns and i knew he doesnt like me to even touch the kittys so i dont. it seems that he is blaming me for even the kittys to be running around in the house and you should hear his growl.

Have you considered getting your tomcat neutered and your female spayed? That way you won't have kittens in the house to angst out the male cat. Also, it is healthier and safer for your cats if you don't let them out. As long as you have lots for them to do inside they do not mind staying in once they get used to the idea they can't go out. Some tomcats do not like kittens and sometimes will kill them. You seem to at least be lucky on that point so far with your Stoovie.

I believe male cats have a hard time with female cats (rather or not they are siblings) when they have kittens and are nursing. No idea why, that's just what I was taught.
