Should I worry about a male cat approaching my mother cat and kitten?

Question

I have a street cat and she is a mother of a kitten. A few days before I saw a male cat around her, and he often comes to meet her and her kitten. Even though my cat is so quiet and a little bit scared in front of him, he just sit their quietly and keep watch over them. Do I need to worry ?? Can he harm the kitten or cat??

It is most probable that the male cat is the father of the kittens. As long as your mother cat and kitten are safe and the male cat is not harming them I would not be too concerned. However, keep in mind, that the Mother cat cat can become pregnant again within just a few weeks of giving birth. If you do not want her having any more kittens then you should have her spayed as soon as possible. Keep an eye on the interactions between the male and the mother cat and as long as they are not hurting one another it should be fine. I hope this helps.
