Default Is this correct?

Hi Group.

We've been told that when a cat has a litter of kittens and they all come
out with different coats, colours, patterns etc etc, and some looking
nothing like their mother then that is because the mother mated with a few
different male cats and each one of those males is a father to one of the
litter.

Is this right?

I personally don't know enough about cats to know if this can be the case. I
would've thought just one male cat would produce all the coat variations in
the litter.

The cat in question had a litter of 5 cats. Owners have no idea who the
father is. The mother is more of a tortoiseshell and mostly very dark with
the odd spot of white (not much)

In the litter there is a white toed, everywhere else jet black kitten, a
very sandy with ginger stripes kitten and a brown toed, everywhere else jet
black kitten and a totally jet black kitten The last one is a tortoiseshells
just like the mother.


So.... One father, or different fathers, for the kittens??

Anyone know?

Thanks.
