Don't they just!! They probably shouldn't get all the kisses they deserve, though -- they'd suffocate!

Yup, that's what we are telling you! The mixed litter that I suspect with 2 dads had only had 3 kittens - 2 by one father and 1 by another.

Amy,
I have never heard of that. I thought once you were pregnant, you were pregnant..............never thought of having more than one dad to a litter. Weird!

They could definitely be from the same litter. JC's mom was white with a black tail and ears; the kittens were: 1 female gray tiger, 3 male tuxedos (ranging from primarily black to 50% black and white), and one gray and white male. Now that they're five, they range in size from 6 lbs. (the gray and white male) to 13.5 lbs. (JC).
