No, extra teats will not grow on a cat if she is carrying more kittens than she has teats. Cats are born with a set number of teats, typically between 6 and 8, and this number does not change. The kittens will compete for the available teats, and the weaker ones may have to be supplemented with bottle feeding if they cannot access enough milk.
