I don\\\’t see why not, except it would be exceedingly rare. In humans it occurs once in 500,000 births. It would be much more likely for kittens in a litter to look identical, although I have not seen that. And even looking identical would be more likely in a solid color breed such as French chartreus (gray) than in a breed of many different colors and patterns. At first glance my tabbies (American shorthairs) mostly appear the same, but a closer look reveals many differences.

Monozygotic (identical) twins are the result of one fertilized egg splitting into two genetically identical halves. Since humans are more likely to produce only one egg, it seems that this would be the reason for the increased ratio in humans. Otherwise stated, most other mammals produce many eggs per cycle, resulting in a polyzygotic (fraternal) litter.
The difference between fraternal and identical twins is that fraternal twins are two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm to form two separate embryos and then make two separate babies. Identical twins are formed when one fertilized egg divides into two separate embryos to make two babies.
Animals such as all dogs, all cats, pigs, rabbits, rats that are designed to have more than one baby have LITTERS. And sometimes they can have a set of identical twins in their litters as well as triplets. There are usually slight differences if you look hard enough.
