Cats normally have more than two kittens. You might want to look for a reputable breeder who knows what he's/she's doing. Stay AWAY from the pet store; those pets come from mills.

I don't know about twins, but it should be fairly easy to get two male kittens from the same litter. You can check out an animal shelter and ask if they've had a litter of kittens come in, or check a local paper for someone giving them away really inexpensively. If you don't mind spending a bit more money I would really suggest going for a breeder. Then you have more options on your cats, and know a professional is behind the job. Good luck with your new pets!

When I was 3, I got "twins" girl kitties. I am still not sure if they were twins exactly, but they definetely got along, and were sisters; they fought a lot. Later, I got two kitties that shared the same foster mother, but were from 2 seperate birth mothers, they acted more like family then the twins did; walking around together, playing, basic companionship. I would suggest getting two cats, but they dont have to be twins, opt for a humanitarian idea and go to you're local Humane society; they probaby have some kittens waiting for you!

Cats have litters, as many as 8, in rare cases, more. So all you have to do is find a breeder to find a couple of brothers. All that really matters though, is that your kittens are somewhat the same age. They will adopt each other, they don't have to be from the same litter.

Cats tend to have 4-8 kittens per litter. They're all "twins" in that sense of being litter mates. Not sure what else you're asking?

By twins I think you mean two that look alike? If the litter is large, it shouldn't be difficult.
Naturally, they'll all have the same mother. However, it's possible they have different fathers. If they have the same father -- which is probably the majority of the time -- they'll be fraternal twins, meaning different eggs but same mother & dad, same conception date. They would have to be from the same egg to be identical twins.
