Does the number of kittens depend on multiple matings?

Curious to know as i just bred my registered himlayans they only connected once

but i just bred my registered siamese's and they connected at least 4-5 times

does this mean one should give birth to more then the other mother? i know they are induced ovulators but this is my first time breeding these certain females

I suppose there is some a statistical connection, but in the individual case it can vary a lot...   The statistic in the indivudual isnt not ironclad.

Moggies tend to get more kittens than purebreds.

Good luck!
