When a female goes into heat, she releases multiple eggs, each of which can be fertilized by a different sperm. As such, each fertilized egg will have slightly different combinations of genes - leading to different genetic makeups of the kittens. In a few cases, a fertized egg might split early on - leading to identical twins in the kittens, but for the most part, kittens would be considered fraternal twins (or triplets, or quads, etc.).
