Yes, cats have the ability to recognize their siblings from different litters through scent, visual cues, and familiarity with each other's behaviors.

Genetics
It is not recommended to breed from the same litter as it can increase the risk of genetic health issues in the offspring due to inbreeding. Breeding from different litters helps maintain genetic diversity and reduces the risk of potential health problems.
Breeding dogs humanely involves prioritizing the health and well-being of the dogs above all else, ensuring proper care, socialization, and living conditions. Generally, a female dog should have no more than 3-4 litters in her lifetime to protect her health and ability to care for each litter properly.
