When female cats come into heat, if they mate with more than one male cat there can indeed be multiple fathers to the litter of kittens.
Un-neutered male cats have barbed penises (much like a fishhook), and upon withdrawal, the female cat will often scream (whether from ecstasy or pain is questionable). It is also believed that the barbed penis stimulates ovulation.
Ovulation will usually occur within 20 to 50 hours after mating, and the eggs are viable (capable of being fertilised) for approximately one day. The eggs are fertilised in the oviduct, and then make their way to the uterus via the uterine horn, implanting in the uterine lining within 10 to 12 days.
On the street, a female cat may mate with two or more tom cats over the length of the oestrus cycle - up to 21 days, with an average of seven days. Although genetics of the female cat may come into play, multi-coloured kitten litters will often vividly demonstrate multiple mating.
My last cat a (long-haired tortoiseshell & white) was born in a litter of six to a stray cat . Three had long hair and three had short hair. The colour variations were; two tortoiseshell, two tabbies, one black & white and one smokey grey

hi, yes it's not only possible it happens quite often. The reason is that when a female cat is in heat, she often mates with large numbers of male cats. The way a female cats uterus is constructed it can hold (and keep viable) a large amount of sperm. The female cat then has the ability, when ovulating, to release a large number of eggs. So, you can see where I'm going with this, yes?
the result is a litter produced with more than one male. In some cases each kitten could have a different father!

Yes they can, its not pleasant but cats mate with several toms at the same session! My cat had 7 with 3 different fathers and you could clearly see which tom fathered which kittens! They were all the image of their fathers!

Yes they can. Look at the different colors of the kittens, if two or three are all one color or of the same markings and color, and the other kittens are different, then you can rest assured that there is a fence-jumper in there, somewhere.

Usually, which too long for me. I think it depends on the guy and also his face though. Certain guys can pull off long hair and other people can't.

We had a cat that was the local bike. It would lay on the garden wall wailing whilst every Tom in the district had their way with her.
The s l u t would then give birth to all different coloured kittens which made it easy for us to identify the fathers.
The woman next door is the same!

I have pretty very long hair, I like them but I actually think I would have them cut short in about some two years
