Cats And Kittens
April 18th, 2011 | 
Author: My male cat is taking my other cats kittens from their nesting spot and putting them somewhere else. He is not the father and I'm worried about the kittens. Yes he is fixed. We are not breeding cats. She was abandoned and left to starve outside so we took her in. We did not know she was pregnant. She was obviously domestic. What I found out was – sometimes males will kill kittens so the female will come in heat again

It is a protecting thing they do. It is there instinct to protect them from harm and sometimes that means humans. It is normal.
Male cats may be motivated for the kittens to disappear they can mate again sooner if the kittens are gone. I have read that barn cats will kill kittens to facillitate mating with a female again. I am not saying your cat will do this but the kittens cannot be properly care for or fed if they are away from mom. You might want to limit the males ability to take off with the kittens.
My question is why aren't ALL of your cats spayed and neutered?
Get them fixed. Quit breeding. Thousands of cats and kittens are killed every single day in shelters because people like you didn't fix your pets
BE RESPONSIBLE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR CATS!
I had a Siamese that was more motherly than any female I had.
Talk to him and let him know this is NOT his job. . . but thank him for being such a good uncle.
HAVE YOUR MOM KITTY FIXED. . . (she can still nurse the kittens afterward.
I just wouldn't allow him to remove them. . . if he wants to get in and take care of them then let him. . .
good luck this is hard to deal with.
PLEASE HAVE ALL YOUR CATS SPAYED / NEUTERED. . . NOW YOU HAVE MORE TO DO!
Is he fixed?
If not, sometimes a male cat will kill them, so she will come in heat again and mate with him.
He could be treating them as a threat to his territory, or he could be experiencing a sort of vicarious motherhood. Sometimes male cats will do this! Is he staying in this other place with them, or just leaving them there? If he's leaving them then I'd say he wants them out of his territory.
If he is neutered he will be less aggressive, but you should probably keep them separated from him. If they are very young they need to be with their mother. Eventually he may become more aggressive. . I've seen male cats that adapted well to kittens, and I've seen them react badly, so keeping him away from them is probably the best idea.
