Generally speaking, it is not okay for cats with the same mom to mate and have kittens. Breeding a brother and sister can result in genetic issues, as well as weaken the overall health of a cat breed. While in certain circumstances such as feral colonies, it is necessary to mate closely related cats, mixing from different litters or lines should occur to prevent further health issues.
