Twins

Can cats have twins?

lol.. I would think they are all twins since they're born at the same time

lol indeed! i mean identical twins - we have two looking absolutely the same, from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail

Although I'm certainly not a fertility expert, I would imagine that they could. Most other animals can and do occasionally have identicle twins, and it would be the same process with a cat.....one ovum completely splits leaving the exact same genes in two fetuses (I don't think that's a word!).

Hi:

You did say your cat had 7 kittens - than they would actually be Septuplets. Anyway are you asking because 2 of the kittens look alike? If so, that is quite possible with so many of them!

Hmmmm.....two feti?

yes they can, we had two black and whites a few years ago, identical markings on both of them- so cute!

Oh, there's actually eight of them (did I mention her tummy was HUGE!!!)

Wow, wow wow - she must have looked like she swallowed a basketball.

Eight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a lot of kittens!

Nah... Just a little cute furry HIPPOPOTAMUS!
