Did you know that a cat can be pregnant by multiple males at once? This means that kittens in the same litter can have different fathers. That’s why some litters end up with kittens that look nothing like their mom—or each other! You might even see surprises like white kittens from a black cat, or vice versa.
But when cats are raised indoors, things change. Unless a cat has free roam of the neighborhood, their kittens are likely to look just like them. In fact, some family resemblances are so strong, there’s no questioning the connection. Let’s take a look at some adorable kittens who are the spitting image of their parents!
1. Like father, like son: their fur matches perfectly, and so does their sweet bond.
2. These two share the same thick neck stripe and a few smaller ones, too.
3. The best family resemblance: mom and kitten with matching muzzles!
4. Talk about passing on the genes—this little one has inherited mom’s white beard.
5. Mom and her newborn even have the same spot on their noses.
6. In color and cuteness, this pair are practically twins.
7. Genetics in action with these matching pea-sized markings!
