males?....?

I have a male and a female cat who just had a litter of 4 im just curious as to what the male's role is?

1. He is the daddy and the female is the mommy.
2. The male provides semen, the haploid (or half chromosome) part of the fertilized zygote, and the female provides the ovum (egg, the other half of the chromosomes). Then the female carries the fetuses (in most mammalian animals).
3. the male doesnt have a role. just like most animals. Humans are one of very few that the male has a role.
4. His job is to fertilize the eggs and walk away. He plays no role in the rearing of the young. The only cat where males are part of a larger group as young are being reared are lions where the male defends his pride. If a male lion loses his position to another male, all the young will be killed by the invading new male(s) and the new male(s) will father new cubs.
5. the dad
6. If it is anything like the human male, then it would be flipping the remote control while drinking a beer.
7. The male's role has been over for about 4 months. There is a reasonable chance that he may attempt to kill the kittens in order to bring the female into heat again, otherwise, when the kittens are big enough to play, he'll likely view them as toys.
