Unless you are positive you can help your friend find a proper home for every single kitten, I wouldn't recommend mating him. There is a great over population of pets in our world, and un-purposeful breeding shouldn't be allowed. I would recommend getting Milo neutered for his own health. I promise, he won't think he is missing out on something in life!
