Will male cats know their children? Male cats may not necessarily know their children, they depend on the situation. If it is a cub born to a domestic male and female cat, the male cat may recognize it as its own child. If the male cat and the kitten meet again after a long separation, the male cat may not recognize its child.
Whether it is a male or female cat, they recognize the kitten mainly based on the smell of the kitten. All kittens are born alone by female cats, and male cats do not participate in the delivery process. Therefore, newborn kittens are not contaminated by the smell of male cats at all.
Therefore, male cats cannot recognize their children by smell. In fact, if a newborn kitten is washed away from the smell of a cat mother by a human and is stained with the smell of a human, most cat mothers will not be able to recognize their children.
