Answer

Jack:
Cats should not have even one litter, let alone 4. Each litter poses risks, but there is no special number that means the kittens are premature. The only thing you can say is that the more litters and the older the cat, the more likely something is to go wrong.
 
Tina:
No. But neither should a queen be allowed to have four litters, or three litters, or two. The vast majority of animals killed in shelters every month are cats. 
 
Lakelady:
No it isn't true. I wouldn't recommend it but when I was a girl my brother had a best friend whose cat, Smokey, gave birth twice a year to healthy kittens and did so for the 15 years that I knew her.Bill said she kept it up after I left for college. She was sort of a mini-legend in our small town because every one of her kittens looked just exactly like her. Gray longhair with a white face. 
 
Kent:
no, not true.
If your cat is having alot of sex, it will produce more litters. They don't have to premature.
 
 
Mog:
Nope. When I was a kid we had sort of a cat problem because of one cat that had 2-3 litters every year for 8 years. We eventually named her Mothership because she always had little kitties hovering around her.
 
Ocimom:
No. But letting your cat breed all the time is a good way to have smaller and sicker kittens over time. If the cat is not a top quality purebred in a legit breeding program, then please spay your cat immediately.
