The placement of the genes on the parent chromosones - B.

The reason for this is that if the parents of the kittens are heterozygotic individuals (Pp and Pp). Where P being one colour and p being another colour, it's quite possible that some of their litter have the pp allele combination which in turn could make them a different colour.
