CATDOLL : Do male cats recognize their own babies?

Not necessarily. If a male cat stays with his kittens all the time, he will recognize his own kittens. If he has been away from his kittens for a long time, it is impossible for him to recognize them. Because cats are independent individuals and have many kittens with different female cats, they neither care about their own kittens nor have the ability to remember so many kittens. In addition, cats distinguish each other by smell. When a female cat gives birth, she gives birth alone and the male cat is not present. Therefore, there is no direct smell connection between the male cat and the kitten, and the male cat does not recognize his own kittens.

Do male cats recognize their mates?

Not necessarily. If a male cat and a female cat live together all the time, they will know each other. If they are just mating, it is impossible for them to know each other. Each cat is an independent individual, and it will mate with multiple cats in its lifetime, so it will not remember its own mate.
