Filou's dad and Tigris dad were happy: both of them did not spray (some toms don't) and could live in the house with their "wives". Filou's dad Amor lived with Filou's mother Absolutely (called Abby) and three neutered males. Tigris dad with a Somali lady -but he courted the very young Siberian Forest Cat who was there only for a short time. They thought she could not have babies yet, but she could. That's life.

Tigris was neutered at 6 months, Filou at 9. I hoped he would look a little more like a boy if he grew bigger but when he started singing operas in the night (he's a baritone, you wouldn't believe it) this was it.

In my former cat life 20 years ago, we had babies from Grisette and I was with her when she got them. It was a wonderful experience but I hate the business aspect of breeding, especially for the poor studs.
