Yes when they are kittens as the mother puts her scent on the kittens to recognise them.
Yes by all means. I have 2 cats and they have used the same litter box but use different ends of it. They art 3 years old and I have always only had one litter box for them. Some are finicky though.
Go very, very slowly - cats are quite territorial and won't accept any newcomers forced upon them. Start by keeping the new cat in one room with its own litter box and food/water dishes. Let the other cats wander up to the door and get used to the scent of the new cat. This may take a couple of weeks. When the two cats aren't hissing outside the door to where the new cat is, lock up the two cats and let the new cat wander around the house a bit. Put the new cat back into its room then let the other two cats back out; they will investigate the scent of the new cat. Repeat daily until the two cats aren't so interested in figuring out where the new cat went - this may take a couple of weeks or more. When they are all used to the scent of each other, put everyone in cat carriers and let them see each other. You'll eventually work up to letting first the new cat out of the carrier, then letting the two cats out of their carries while the new cat is in its carrier, then letting them all out together. They should be supervised closely until they have all accepted each other.
Ideally, you should have one litter box per cat plus one extra. So, for 5 cats, you should have a total of 6 litter boxes. This will help prevent territorial issues and provide enough options for the cats to use.
Not all sphinx cats are in fact hairless. If you are looking for a hairless sphinx cat, it is possible to have one or two in a said litter. When the cat gives birth the average number of kittens is 5-7.
When a cat touches another cat's nose, it can be a sign of friendly interaction or bonding between the two cats. It can also be a way for them to communicate or gather information about the other cat's scent. In general, it is a behavior that indicates a level of comfort and familiarity between the cats.
Yes, it's normal to find two cats from the same litter having babies themselves. Cats don't think like humans -- obviously.

one litterbox per cat
No it can't only if the cat with UTI urinates on the other cat. So it should be fine with sharing the same food and litter
It depends on whether your cat is allowed outdoors, how many you have, and on the type of litter. For two strictly-indoor cats, using Max Scoop, I generally find that two 7Kg (15-lb) buckets will last six weeks. Cats that are allowed outside will urinate outside, which makes the amount of litter they need a lot less. A single cat will use somewhat less than half the amount of a pair of cats. You will need about the same volume (which is less weight) of wood-pulp based litter such as the flushable types or Yesterdays News.
No, ragdoll cats are not big scratchers of furniture. My ragdoll cat does like to bite many things though.
It means only that two black cats died in the same month.
Feline litter mates frequently have more than one father.
Yes. The most successful pair are two Dobermans from this same litter.
Integrating two cats into the same household successfully involves gradual introductions, providing separate spaces, and ensuring each cat has their own resources like food, water, and litter boxes. It's important to monitor their interactions and provide positive reinforcement to encourage bonding. Patience and consistency are key in helping the cats adjust to each other and establish a harmonious relationship.
