Is it okay for a cat to have many litters one after the other and Will the Kittens be healthy?
No, you should at least wait until they have finished nursing, then a few months, or it would be like a pregnant woman trying to look after a very young baby.
Is it normal for two black cats to have white kittens?
It can very easily happen, because even though the kittens' parents are black, the grandparents or great-grandparents may have been white. This is because of gentics. There are two types of traits. Dominate and resscecive. in this case, black is the dominate cat color. Each parent passes on a gene to their kitten. If there is at least one of the dominante trait, the kitten will be black. the parents have to each pass an white gene for the kitten to be white. So say one of the grandparents are white. The white grandparent passes on a white gene, because that is all it has. The other one in this case would have passed on a black. This would make one of the parents black, but with a hidden white gene. The same with the grandparents on the other parents side. The parents now each have a hidden white gene. If they both pass the hidden white gene on to the kits, they while be white.
What happens when a brother cat and sister cat mate?
Cats may inbreed a little bit without any serious effects. However, if close relatives breed only with each other, this shrinks the gene pool. This results in a higher likelihood of kits being born with birth defects, weak immune systems, and low fertility rates. If you are wondering because you wish to breed littermates together, than you may want to consider carefully the traits they carry, and consult a cat breeding professional.

Calico kitten what should you breed her with to most likely get another calico out of her litter?
If I understand the question correctly, you have a calico female that you want to produce another calico? The best suited tom would be black and white, preferably with lots of white. The result is around half of the female offspring will be calico, half black and white, with a slight chance of one having brown in its coat. Alternatively you can use a ginger and white tom, with half of the females being ginger and white, although there is a greater chance of the other half being tortoiseshell-tabbies or brown, ginger and white.
Why is a cat's belly still fat after it gives birth?
After a cat gives birth the mother will experience some of the same body changes as a person would. A belly on a mother cat may still be fat until she loses the extra stored weight needed to protect the kittens while in her body, and for making milk for the kittens after their birth. Another reason a mother cat may have an appearance of a fat belly could be due to swelling.
