It is most likely, unless either carry a gene for shorthair which they could have gotten from anywhere in their background.

Is it true that only Siamese cats can bear calico kittens and please explain why or why not?
no that is not true calico kittens can be born to just about any breed of cat. I myself have two calicoes, their mother was a black/orange tortie and the father a orange longhair tabby. also in the litter was a two black and white males and an orange tabby male.
If a mother is heterozygous will she have a child with blond hair?
A heterozygous mother can have a blond or dark-haired child, depending on the father.
How can a tortie have a white kitten?
It depends who the father is, what colour and breed it is. If the mother is tortoiseshell and the father is white, one of the kittens is most likely to be white.
What is the name of a mother nursing kittens?

What do calico and tortoiseshell have in common?
your mothers, mother
What is the birth rate of Calicos Is there usually only one per litter?
Calicos are just ordinary cats with a certain color mix. If you mean the number of kittens born to a calico mother, it's usually 3-5 per litter, the same as for any other cat. If you mean the number of kittens in a litter who are calico, it all depends on chance and the parents. It takes these 3 genes to make a calico: --An orange pigment gene from one parent. --A black pigment gene from the other parent (normal males only get their pigment from the mother, so they can't be calicos). --A gene to make white patches and separate the black & orange into their own large areas. So the parents need the right genetic mix. If both parents are missing the black, the orange, or the white patches, they can't have calico kittens. If all 3 genes are available, then luck of the draw decides how many kittens actually do get the full calico combination. It could be all or none of them.

Will the kittens be okay is the mother and father are sister and brother?
Though inbreeding is not as much a problem for cats as it is for humans, continued inbreeding will eventually start to affect the genes and may make disabled kittens.
What to due when a male cat bites a kitten behind the head?
it is normal for a female to bite the back of the kittens neck when they want to move them to a place that they think is safe, but a male? if the male is the kittens father then he may be trying to be like the mother but normally the father doesn't want anything to do with the kittens and if he isn't related to the kittens, then he doesn't like them and is trying to hurt them or even kill them, in some cases.
What is inbred?
Inbred means that it was created totally within the family line, not with an outside gene like normal breeding. For example, if a female cat mates with its father, all the kittens will be inbred, because the father is also the mother cat's father. The kittens will also be deformed because of a gene mixup.
