Yes, they can have 5 kittens with 5 different fathers, happens all the time. A cat releases several eggs every month, and if she mates with a bunch of cats, there will be a lot of sperm and it's just about whichever gets to the egg first. A woman can have fraternal twins with 2 different fathers. I met someone that it happened too.

YES they can!! While in the heat, a female can mate with several males. In our neighborhood, there is this "feral" female cat, which I plan on trapping to get spayed, and then releasing.... Anyways, there is a big white male and a big gray male around here, (both are also getting trapped & neutered) well, when she had a litter of kittens a few weeks ago, guess what colors they were?? One white, one gray, and then the other 2 were just like her!!

Acually a cat, believe it or not can get bred by several male cats at once, thats why the kittens turn out to be all different colors. I say thats weird, but thats the life of a cat.

Sorry, but you're incorrect. Cats ovulate every time that they mate. And a cat in heat often mates with more than one male. So it's entirely possible (rather common, actually), for a litter of kittens to have more than one sire.

Due to the shape of the uterus,a litter of cats or dogs can have many sires. Each puppy or kitten could possibly have a different father.

Yes; ovulation (and pregnancy) is induced by the act of mating; an outdoor female cat in season can mate with many different males (who will gather 'round at the opportunity!).
Good reason to spay your kitty & her her indoors. (Altering the males will decrease the inclination to search out those females & make them better pets too!

You are mistaken. Cats release more than one egg, and not all at the same time, so it is possible for each egg to be fertilized by a different father.

Yes they can. That is how we get a variety of different-looking kittens at birth!

good question i would think no. in humans only one sperm can get in an egg and the others die. I would think it was the same for cats. I would ask a shelter.
