Kitten Lovers: Cuteness Overload

[JT Smith]

The runt at 4 days old, part of a litter of seven:

I named her Neutrino. She grew up fine with a little help. Sometimes I'd box off her nursing spot so one of her larger siblings didn't shove her aside.

I think you are oversimplifying the genetics of coat color. It's sex linked for one thing so, for example, orange cats are more likely to be males. Torties and calicos are almost always female. But you can get a combination of colors/patterns in any case.

On top of that litters can be the product of more than one father.
