Sometimes. Often they're malnourished so their kittens will also be malnourished.
Spay and neuter your pets, it's the humane thing to do!

Outdoor cats have poorer nutrition. Outdoor mothers often have such poor nutrition that they pass this along to their kittens. They are also more susceptible to illnesses and parasites. Cats that have to kill small animals to survive frequently have a number of parasites, including tape worms which they get from eating prey. All of these factors contribute to the general poor health of outdoor cats. Even domestic cats which are fed cat food will hunt instinctively if they are allowed to go outside unsupervised. These cats too often suffer from poor nutrition and and parasites and should be checked regularly for these problems. Finally, outdoor cats simply don't live as long as indoor cats. If they don't fall victim to a car or dog. They will succumb to illness at an earlier age than those whose who are loved and pampered indoors. This is what they expect. After all, they were worshiped as gods in ancient Egypt and they have never forgotten this.

Born smaller? No, not necessarily. It depends on the nutrition of the queen (the pregnant female cat).

The size of any newborn depends on the breed of the animal and the nutrition of the mother.

No it depends solely on the size of the mother cat.
